Dozens of Dunlins

Dozens of Dunlins

June 13, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Rafferty Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I visited one of my favourite locations. Rossall Point has easy access and is a favoured roosting site for waders. There were good numbers of dunlin present and most of them were wearing their summer finery. They will have now probably departed for their Arctic breeding grounds with the current […]

Baby Coots at Dungeness

After a two hour search of Rye Harbour for the Terek Sandpiper we gave up and headed over to Dunge. Our reward for this 10 mile diversion was to connect with a smart little Kentish Plover from Dennis’s hide as it walked about on the shingle scrape in the company of Sanderling and Dunlin. I […]

May 28, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

The last couple of weeks have been manic at work with some very early starts for breeding bird surveys, late nights reviewing documents and getting the company ready for the new and extremely tedious General Data Protection Regulations which come into force later in May. However, I have managed to get out a little to […]

Pennington Marsh – 23rd March

Pennington Marsh – 23rd March

April 9, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

With a couple of hours to spare after dropping Tobias at school I had a wander around Pennington Marsh taking in Jetty, Butts, Fishtail and Keyhaven Lagoons. It was a bright spring like day but with a strong NW wind it was deceptively cold. Numbers of wader and wildfowl had shown a noticeable and decrease […]

Birding By The Sea

Birding By The Sea

March 6, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

Well, this is not actually a post about birding by the sea, but birding by the Long Island Sound at Hammonasset Beach State Park. Images in this post are from a trip to Hammonasset in mid-January when I met world eBirders Julie Hart and Daniel Schlaepfer with four additional visits in February. Julie was kind […]

Snowy Owl At Long Beach Connecticut

Snowy Owl At Long Beach Connecticut

January 8, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

Slightly east of Bridgeport and south of Stratford lies a magnificent wildlife venue called Long Beach. The Snowy Owl above (image 1) was photographed at Long Beach in December 2017. With adjacent Pleasure Beach it is noted that they comprise more than 25% of Connecticut’s remaining undeveloped beachfront property. The Dunlin with Sanderling above (image […]

Pennington Marsh – 5th October

October 17, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

It was a beautiful October day and after dropping Tobias at school I was going to spent the day at Pennington Marsh until it was time to pick him up at 15:30. After a coffee at the corner of Lower Pennington Lane I walked along the fun length of the Ancient Highway. It took me […]

Pennington Marsh and Woodchat Shrike at Chipping Sodbury

September 24, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

Another beautiful sunny morning at Pennington Marsh and I decided to walk my normal circuit in reverse, first out past Fishtail and to Keyhaven and back past Butts and Jetty Lagoon and finally past Pennington Lagoon and Shoveler Pools. I had much of the morning to spare after dropping Tobias off so my birding was […]
