Autumn Birds on Isle of Sheppey | British Birding
October 9th, 2020 Nick Another window in the blustery and wet weather conditions yesterday gave me the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Where to go? There were some interesting birds reported from the far east of Kent and rarities in other parts of the country but there is one place that keeps drawing me towards it; the Isle of [...]

Isle of Grain & Hoo Peninsula Birds | British Birding
October 6th, 2020 Nick It was with some sense of relief that I looked out of the window this morning and saw that after several days of awful weather the skies had finally cleared so a birding excursion was quickly planned.

Ruddy Turnstone Feeding Behaviour | British Birding
September 29th, 2020 Nick Whenever I visit stony or rocky coasts around Britain, no matter what other birds of interest there are to enjoy watching, eventually I am always drawn towards Ruddy Turnstones. These comical little characters are always busy running around on the rocks or among piles of seaweed, grabbing morsels of food and bickering with each other [...]

September 25th, 2020 Nick With strong winds from a promising direction at a promising time of the year I headed to Dungeness, on the south coast of England, in hope of seeing some interesting seabirds blown close to the coast. After a couple of hours of looking at a couple of distant Gannets, a pair of Common Scoters and [...]

Great Cormorant Colour Ring | British Birding
September 19th, 2020 Nick 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.

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! [...]
