Having seen the Mistley Tern last night the pressure to follow the crowds in that direction today was well and truly off so we headed instead down the M20 to Dunge and into the eye of the storm. 90 mph winds had battered the Kent coast and continued to do so while we attempted a […]
If you love me, why am I dying?
Hey there, people-friends. I’ve been on the road, on the go, since early September. Before that, since February, I was out in the boonies running after sage-grouse. So that’s my excuse for the lack of posts. I’ve been wandering around Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, eastern California, Idaho, and now I’m hunkered down in New Mexico for […]

Coming Home from Uganda
I’ve spent the last two weeks in Uganda. I finished my packing during the heady days of the World Series and the glorious aftermath of my beloved Chicago Cubs winning it all, and left the morning after my hometown held a parade that drew an estimated five million people, united in a way Americans never […]
Pygmy Owl

Much was the same as yesterday with the Scaup and Tufteds still on the lake but in a different bay (water levels have risen quite a lot after recent rain so feeding conditions may be changing). The recent rain combined with a return to freezing temperatures left […]
Take me to the place where the white boys dance…
To kick off this post, I have to apologise to the band “The Killers”, whose song title made a perfect title for this photo and its resulting blog post. As you may know, we recently returned from an amazing family safari-camping-roadtrip through some of the most iconic places in Namibia. One of the destinations was […]
Yetapá de collar (Strange-tailed Tyrant) Alectrurus risora
Año 2016….Provincia de Corrientes….Ruta 40 pasando Colonia Pelegrini; un nuevo registro para el grupo de esta emblemática especie de ave de pastizal. En los últimos 100 años el Yetapá de collar (Alectrurus risora, Tyrannidae) ha reducido su distribución original en un 90% debido a la desaparición de los pastizales naturales de Argentina. En la actualidad […]
Lechuza estriada (Mottled Owl) Strix virgata
Nuestras salidas nocturnas de observación y fotografía de aves por el sur de nuestra provincia comenzaron a rendir sus frutos; días pasados los amigos Javier Lucho y Nico mientras recorrían nuestros lugares habituales que estamos reelevando pudieron encontrarse por primera vez con una espectacular lechuza estriada. Antes de la medianoche del día 09 de Octubre […]
