Oare Marshes Watch Point | British Birding
October 6th, 2019 Nick When I am in UK one of my favourite places to go birding is Kent Wildlife Trust‘s Oare Marshes reserve. It is one of those places that is always pleasant to go birding because it is a nice place to be and has the benefit of seemingly always having large numbers of birds of a [...]

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 [...]

Destruction and Fragmentation of Wildlife Habitats | British Birding
July 17th, 2019 Nick A few days ago I saw an appeal to sign a petition to save a small area of wildlife habitat in my hometown of Dartford in England which has been described as a “wildlife gem” where birds such as Sedge Warbler, Reed Bunting, Cetti’s Warbler and Nightingale have occurred. There is precious little habitat for [...]

Autumn Colours at Knole Park – British Birding
October 19th, 2018 Nick With a few hours to spare I took a short drive to Knole Park in Sevenoals, Kent, to see if I could find any Redwings which have started to arrive from Scandinavia. It was great that I saw my first one very shortly after I arrived but it took some time before I got a [...]

An October Morning at Bridlington Harbour – British Birding
October 15th, 2018 Nick With bright weather persisting I found myself in East Yorkshire, more specifically in Bridlington, with a few hours to spare after breakfast. The tide was falling so it was a good time to check out the birds feeding on the rocks at the base of the harbour’s southern wall, a regular site for finding Purple [...]
