Another Monday and another day in the field. I contemplated going to twitch the Long-tailed Shrike but the thought of five hours in the car put me off. I've already seen 13 Long-ta...

As Sri Lanka’s most popular birding site, Sinharaja is an essential stop for any birder visiting the country. However, probably 90% of birders visit the forest from its northern en...
I decided to do a full count of the birds of Pagham Harbour today. I started off at Church Norton and did the graveyard to the severals, then over to Ferry and the discovery area,...
Sunny spells, 25°, light SW. The big loop to the Lees, skirting Aston and then to Lollingdon and back. Highlight of the day was 3 Common Redstart on Lollingdon Hill, a male and 2 j...

Bluebirds were working on a nest in the nest box in early March like they have done the past few years but they haven’t actually nested in it. Next spring I’m going to move it much...
Spent today doing a count of the birds in Pagham Harbour and doing a bit round the lodge. There was a strong northeast wind blowing, gusting to gale force, so passerines were doubl...
I walk my dogs along the Potomac River most evenings. My route has become second nature, the curve of the path, the movement of the river, the parts of the walk I know by heart. Of...

Sunny, 34°, light E. A brief trip along the Bunk area. The bunds around the gravel pit have been mowed, subsequently a small area of the gravel pit can be seen, approx. 1/6th. 2 Mu...
The 'eternal' hot and dry conditions are presumably taking their toll with only 61 species in the moth trap last night and a Pagham Harbour count today produced little of interest...
Some viewers who follow this series closely enough may notice that long-term engagement appears to come with benefits that resemble participation in certain well-known airline mile...
For our prompt of “Blue Jay” today, I sketched one sitting on a tree branch. It’s been a busy month so far and so I’m hoping for a little break … Continue reading "Taking It Easy"...
