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.

Bird Photography at Shellness | British Birding
April 10th, 2021 
Nick I have frequently visited Shellness, on the Isle of Sheppey, both to watch birds, including scarce migrants at the right times of the year,but also to photograph birds as good numbers of shorebirds frequently come close enough to get some nice shots. Today I paid another visit, this time with photographer Michael Wong who had [...]
Spring Bird Song | British Birding
April 5th, 2021 Nick Spring is my favourite time of the year in Britain.

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, [...]
New Year’s Day Birding Walk | British Birding
January 4th, 2021 Nick Did you go birding on 1st January? The great thing about birding on New Year’s Day is that all the birds are new for the year list and as such almost all the birders I know are keen to get out on the first day of the year, and this year I was no exception. [...]
