Barred Warbler at Titchfield Haven
A lone run today down to Titchfield Haven NNR in Hampshire with a plan to spend the whole day just trying to bag a couple of half decent images of the wintering Barred Warbler. I was the first on site today arriving at 7.30am and with the reserve closed I wasn’t sure I’d be able […]
Elegance on Ice
A very special place for critters, birds, Sandhill Cranes, in particular, is Bosque del Apache NWR.

Pijuí plomizo (Chicli Spinetail) Synallaxis spixi
Tarde productiva hoy no por la cantidad de especies registradas sinó por la calidad de los registros obtenidos con Luis Lugo en los pastizales aledaños al Arroyo Garupá sobre la Ruta Provincial 204.
