Lesser Yellowlegs and Ruff in Dorset.

Lesser Yellowlegs and Ruff in Dorset.

March 14, 2019December 23, 2019 Adrian Davey Leave a comment

A trip with friends to Weymouth in Dorset, to visit Radipole Lake and Lodmoor RSPB reserves. The forecast was for warmth and sun but the sea mist didn’t clear all day and it was pretty cold, but good birds were seen including the expected Bearded Tit (though only the one male). Marsh Harrier ( I […]

More Pygmy Owls

More Pygmy Owls

December 19, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

This blog is at risk of becoming Simon’s Pygmy Owl blog, but this is the time of year when they are relatively easy to find and they are a great bird! My birding day started with the Maridalen bird but he was sat quite high up and soon flew to other side of a large […]

Quiet morning at Minsmere

Quiet morning at Minsmere

October 27, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

At the crack of dawn we’re walking the north bushes at Minsmere only to find a few Brambling and a Bullfinch for our effort. An Otter and four Red Deer showed as we walked the north wall and lot’s of Beardies pinged all around but despite the calm didn’t show that well. On the wader […]

Leighton Moss – Egrets and Waders

October 20, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Rafferty Leave a comment

I hadn’t visited Leighton Moss for many months and I was keen to visit again. Autumn had arrived and thankfully the very high temperatures of the Summer were a distant memory. It promised to be a lovely day as I arrived at the Eric Morecambe hide. There were plenty of birds on show especially the […]

North-west China (Xinjiang) – 6th May (Day 16)

June 25, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

Today was on a knife edge, and stress levels in the group were high, we had two endemic birds to see and only around three hours in which to see them – it could go well or horribly wrong. If the latter then the only bird I would have gained from the Luntain part of […]

Lakenheath Haven for the Reed Bunting

Lakenheath Haven for the Reed Bunting

May 22, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

At Lakenheath today we had three flight views of the Bitterns along with several views of the constantly calling Cuckoo. No Cranes today but we did find a smart drake Garganey on the scrape. A single Hobby was seen flying in and then sitting in a tree to give good scope views and the reserve […]

Dutch rewilding experiment sparks backlash as thousands of animals starve

Dutch rewilding experiment sparks backlash as thousands of animals starve

May 2, 2018December 23, 2019 Supertrooper 3 Comments

It is known as the Dutch Serengeti, a bold project to rewild a vast tract of land east of Amsterdam. But a unique nature reserve where red deer, horses and cattle roam free on low-lying marsh reclaimed from the sea has been savaged by an official report after thousands of animals starved. In a blow […]

Sleeping Pygmy Owl

Sleeping Pygmy Owl

December 3, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

It really is quiet at the moment on the bird front. Summer migrants have all left but there are very few exciting winter birds around. The Pygmy Owls in Maridalen don’t seem to be around anymore with a bird I saw early on Saturday morning the last sighting. There have been some reports of large […]
