The mid summer doldrums do not offer many interesting birding options when you don’t live close to coastal sites but when the weather is bad and you have burned up the morning watching the Olympics on television it is useful to have only a short drive to a spot on the River Thames where a [...]

Bird Photography at Abberton Reservoir | British Birding
June 22nd, 2021 
Nick June can be a tricky time of the year for birding in Britain with little movement of birds and the excitiement of returning migrants over. Bird abundance is quite low too meaning that bird photography can be quite challenging unless one happens to be lucky enough to be close to breeding colonies of seabirds. However, [...]

Today I paid another visit, this time with photographer Michael Wong who had [...]
