Cavenham Heath Stone Curlews: British Birding
August 23rd, 2015 
Nick On my way back from the British Birdwatching Fair I made a little detour to Cavenham Heath National Nature Reserve in Suffolk to search for Stone Curlews.

Seabirds at St Bees: British Birding

Unfortunately there were very few birds at all there, just 20-30 Herring Gulls of varying ages and [...]
Returning Waders – British Birding
July 29th, 2015 Nick July is a month when waders begin their migration south, from their breeding grounds and it is a good time to see some scarce species as well as some commoner ones in near breeding plumage. Many of the earliest migrating waders are adults that have failed in their breeding attempts as well as some successful [...]
