Abberton Reservoir is a well-known birding site in the county of Essex, Southeast England, but one that I had never visited before last week. I had a really great time at this nice spot, with a very good selection of species and the two causeways across the reservoir were great spots to stand and photograph [...]

A Walk along Caerfanell Brook, Brecon Beacons | British Birding
September 18th, 2020 Nick The sound of the fast-flowing mountain stream known as Caerfanell Brook always takes me back to holidays with my family when I was a child. I remember sitting with our feet in the cool waters to relieve ourselves from the hot weather we experienced one year when a Dipper turned up right next to us! [...]

Aldenham Country Park & Reservoir | British Birding
September 3rd, 2020 Nick Today I made a trip to Elstree, not to star in a movie at the famous film studios but to collect my camera from the Canon service centre where it was repaired and serviced after a semi-submerging in sea water at Shellness last week. Canon got my camera repaired and cleaned up in just one [...]

High Tide Wader Roost at Shellness | British Birding
August 30th, 2020 Nick One of the most spectacular things in bird watching is seeing large numbers of birds together in the same place. When I am in UK there is one obvious place for me to head to in order to get a taste of this type of experience; the high tide roost at Shellness in North Kent. [...]
Chelmarsh Reservoir | British Birding
August 20th, 2020 Nick Recently I enjoyed spending some time in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a lovely area indeed with some nice birds in areas of ancient woodland and a few upland species on areas of heath. However, my time in the area didn’t give me any opportunity to see birds associated with wetland habitats [...]

Birding by the Beach at Pranburi | Thailand Birding
July 16th, 2020 Nick Thailand is an excellent country for a bird watching trip with a wide variety and number of impressive species. However, many birders come to Thailand for a more touristic trip with their non-birding partners and most of these will spend at least some time at one of Thailand’s famous beaches. I recently spent a few [...]

Visiting Bang Khaem Fishponds | Thailand Birding
June 5th, 2020 Nick Recently I have been visiting birdwatching sites that I have either never been to before or visit very seldom. While it is always nice to go to well-known birding locations where certain key species are know to be found, I also enjoy going to relatively unknown sites and seeing what can be found. In this [...]
