Spring Birding at Dungeness | British Birding
May 5th, 2021 Nick Early May and Spring migration is in full flow with large numbers of common migrants arriving, passage migrants passing through and resident species in full song with many of them well into their breeding cycle. What better day to head to one of Kent’s bird migration hotspots: Dungeness. This mass of shingle extends into the [...]
Higham Marshes in Early Spring | British Birding
April 26th, 2021 Nick Winter birding brings its own set of treats and surprises but after months of weather typical for the season it has been nice to have some sunshine over recent days, albeit often with a chilling breeze. Yesterday morning was a bright start to the day and promised to deliver some new arrivals of migrant birds, [...]

I decided to head to nearby Higham Marshes, to make the most of weather, with the intention of trying to photograph Northern Lapwings performing their acrobatic display flight having failed due to poor light a week or so ago. Bright skies, cool [...]

Winter Birding in the Snow; Darent Valley Local Patch | British Birding
February 14th, 2021 Nick Winter birding on the local patch I have in Kent has been a little frustrating over much of January and February with lots of rain turning all the local footpaths into an absolute mudbath and birds being thin on the ground apart from large numbers of Redwing which although numerous were extremely shy. The suddenly, [...]
