Where the wild things are: a trip to Romania’s southern mountains

Where the wild things are: a trip to Romania’s southern mountains

November 12, 2021November 10, 2022 Supertrooper 1 Comment

From this pile of logs onwards, we need to be completely silent,” says Georg Messerer, our guide through Romania’s southern Carpathians. His head cocks 45 degrees as a bird starts chirping. “Nuthatch,” he whispers, reaching for his binoculars. “And two red deer.” Georg directs our gaze to a row of apple trees, where sure enough, […]

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 […]

Spotted Crake

I had a bit of an epic survey day today, leaving home at 05:00 I was at Dagenham Docks (even less glamorous than it sounds) by 07:15. After this survey I had to cross Greater London in a north-west direction to St Albans. So having started so early I had a little time to play […]

Oslo in a nutshell

Oslo in a nutshell

April 5, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

I took in quite a few of Oslo’s best localities today in chilly temperatures but without the rain that was forecast and with few new birds. Maridalen had 3 Lapwings in the morning but 6 by the afternoon which were stood on the ice – hopefully these (and more to come) will breed in the […]

Some eye candy and a polar brute

Some eye candy and a polar brute

February 15, 2017December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

After yesterday’s fiasco I had to do penance to both the environment and my body and hope to regain some credit with the Bird Gods. As I had a lunchtime appointment in town with some nice cheese (courtesy of Egil Ween, one of Norway’s top birders, Værøy regular and importer of exclusive foods) it was […]

The long-tailed tit – successful, adaptable, sociable, and oh so cute

The long-tailed tit – successful, adaptable, sociable, and oh so cute

February 9, 2017December 23, 2019 Supertrooper 1 Comment

A brief, high-pitched “see-see-see” sound, followed by the appearance of half-a-dozen tiny balls of fluff, each attached to what looks like a protruding stick. Then, more calls, as these flying lollipops flit from one tree to the next, pause, grab an invisible insect, and then move rapidly on. Encountering a flock of long-tailed tits on […]

Twite in the sun

Twite in the sun

April 20, 2016December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

The weather today was gorgeous and I was down to a t-shirt before noon. But days with blue skies are generally speaking poor for birds and today was no exception. I stuck to Maridalen where I hoped some raptor migration might save the day but the only I raptors I had (Sparrowhawk, Goshawk and Buzzard) […]
