November and Early December

December 10, 2018December 9, 2018 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

Well, November seems to have passed me by without seeing a single bird of any note while much of the UK seemed to be awash with rare Swift’s. I have barely managed to get out due to work commitments and a general low ebb in my birding enthusiasm, this comes to me once in a […]

Black-throated Divers back in the Dale

May 1, 2018April 28, 2018 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 […]

Pennington Marsh – 5th and 9th March

March 12, 2018March 10, 2018 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

I visited Pennington Marsh on 5th and 9th March and on both days saw much the same. Its a pretty static time of year with winter birds steadily but barely noticeably declining and very few migrants appearing. The Lapwing are now in regular display and are busy making nesting scrapes on the marsh while Black-tailed […]

Pennington Marsh and Woodchat Shrike at Chipping Sodbury

September 24, 2017September 19, 2017 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 […]

Pennington Marsh – 6th August

August 25, 2017August 24, 2017 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

It was a beautiful sunny morning for a change, August has been a very unsettled month to date with long spells of often heavy rain and low temperatures. I was up early and decided on a walk around Pennington Marshes for a few hours. Arriving at 06:30 I first walked along the Ancient Highway for […]

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

July 11, 2017July 10, 2017 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, 2017June 10, 2017 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 […]

Pennington Marsh – 7th April

April 21, 2017April 21, 2017 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

This first half of April has been fantastic, like mid-summer come early, after an early morning breeding bird survey where the highlights were a couple of Song Thrush and a Willow Warbler I spent a couple of hours at Pennington Marsh. Spring really is here and there wereBlackcap singing from the scrub, fair numbers of […]
