A Trip to Titchwell Bird Reserve | British Birding
August 8th, 2019 
Nick When I visit Norfolk one of my favourite places is RSPB Titchwell. Now I know not all birdwatchers will agree with me on this as Titchwell can get very busy with day-trippers and beginner birdwatchers that annoy some hard-core birders but what I like about this location is that there are always large numbers of [...]

Tropical Shellness | British Birding
July 26th, 2019 Nick One of my favourite locations when birding in UK is Shellness on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Invariably I have the place more or less to myself and it is a remarkably wild place considering how close to London it is but the main attraction is the fact that it forms a high tide [...]

Winter Wildfowl | South Korea Birding
January 18th, 2019 Nick Having recently returned from leading my third winter birding tour to South Korea I have some time to reflect on different aspects of this excellent trip. While the big draw is to see large numbers of Red-crowned, Hooded & White-naped Cranes, Steller’s Sea Eagle, Relict Gull, Oriental Stork and many other rare and range-restricted East [...]

Watching Cranes in the Citizen Controlled Zone | South Korea Birding
January 22nd, 2017 Nick One of the highlights of winter birding in South Korea is birding near the DMZ, specifically watching cranes emerge in the morning. On the second day of this year’s South Korea winter birding tour we spent almost the whole day on the South Korea/North Korea border, spending much of our time in the Citizen Controlled Zone, [...]
