Serengeti birdlife in spring

November 23, 2017November 19, 2017 Mike Haworth 2 Comments

It was mid-September in the western Corridor of the Serengeti. A bit early for most of the migrants, but there were a few early arrivals. The resident avian population in the Serengeti at this time of the year is diverse and would gladden any bird lover’s heart. There was also a wide variety of habitats […]

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 […]

July 11, 2017July 10, 2017 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

After climbing the steep grassy and rock strewn slopes of the mountains in the vehicles we parked at the summit and […]

Turtle Dove at Titchwell

June 27, 2017June 26, 2017 Brian Anderson 2 Comments

The venue for todays trip was Titchwell RSPB. In the car park we watched a single Turtle Dove as it called and spent some time picking grit from the car park gravel. These birds are becoming scarce as they run the gauntlet of the gun on the way back from Africa and then have to […]

After a good nights sleep in our tents beside Orog Lake we had an earlier breakfast at 06:30 overlooking the lake with its breeding colony of Spoonbill and Grey Heron and to the sound of booming Bittern and singing Asian Short-toed Lark. After loading the car we headed up the valley behind the campsite and […]

Immature Eurasian Spoonbill – Jubail

April 27, 2017April 23, 2017 Jem Babbington Leave a comment

I was birding the Jubail area when I found an immature Eurasian Spoonbill on a wet Sabkha area. The bird was quite some distance away on the ground but flew after a couple of minutes. It circled around but unfortunately did not land again and flew off and away. The status of the species has […]

Western Swamp Hen in the Bank

October 6, 2016October 1, 2016 Brian Anderson Leave a comment

So having dipped the Western Swamphen the day it left Minsmere I’ve been watching it during it’s stay at Alkborough Flats in Lincolnshire. As I’ve stated before I have this soft self imposed two hour twitch rule and with Swampy now 200 miles from home I’d need to break that rule if I wanted to […]
