Great visit to Wallasea Island

January 18, 2019December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

Sometimes a days birding can deliver very little and then sometimes days like today come along where it all seems to go right. A Barn Owl as we pulled into the track to the reserve followed by two Short-eared Owls hunting at first light then a male Merlin flashes across us and sits out on […]

6th and 13th August – Pennington Marsh

August 23, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt 1 Comment

A free Saturday morning on 6th August and I couldn’t resist the pull of Pennington Marsh but a few beers the night before meant a slightly later start so I wasn’t in the car park at Lower Pennington Lane until 08:00 by which time the dog walking hordes had descended. I wandered a short way […]

Titchwell all to ourselves

August 16, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson 1 Comment

We left home at 4am Saturday and arrived in the car park at Titchwell two hours later. The place was empty and we enjoyed a good hour or so before anybody else arrived. A quick scan into the rising sun failed to find the Lesser Yellowlegs so I continued to the beach which was again […]

More of Colin the Cuckoo

May 14, 2018December 23, 2019 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

5000 miles from the UK to Central Africa and he’s done it for the last three years at least that’s 30,000 miles on his migration route. They reckon he makes the 3000km crossing of the mediterranean / Sahara in one flight. Now that makes my 75 mile drive to see him seem well worth it. […]

Black-throated Divers back in the Dale

May 1, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

It’s all getting a bit too busy for blogging! The end of April is always my favourite time and at the moment it is the movement of Teal and other dabbling ducks that is occupying me with the never-ending searching for something rare in their midst. Yesterday I was at Nordre Øyeren. At this time […]

Mongolia – 18th May (Day 11) – Barig Mountain to Sangiin Dalai Lake

July 11, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

We were up at 05:15 to the sound of screaming Saker Falcon, packed our bags and after a quick coffee headed back up Barig Mountain at 06:00 for a last try for Hodgson’s Bush-chat. After climbing the steep grassy and rock strewn slopes of the mountains in the vehicles we parked at the summit and […]

Mongolia – 11th May (Day 4) – Travel from Ullanbataar to Dalanzadgad

June 14, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

Today was mainly a driving day 570km south from Ulaanbaatar to Dalanzadgad passing through the Gobi Desert with a few stops, mainly at lakes, en-route. The landscape was vast, stark and barren, mainly flat with a few rocky outcrops and dominated by gravel plains with sparse grass. The common birds here were Horned Lark, Asian […]

Returning Waders – Jubail

March 12, 2016December 23, 2019 Jem Babbington Leave a comment

The number of waders in the Jubail area is increasing with one or two quite unusual species being seen. An early Broad-billed Sandpiper was an unusual sighting by a small area of water alongside a track as was the well marked Black-winged Stilt seen previously that is still in the same area. More usual waders […]
