    Birding in Heathrow Airport

    Very kind of you, Steve. As far as I know there's only myself here and an ecologist based at Gatwick in Britain. No idea about abroad though. I stand to be corrected.

    Birding in Heathrow Airport

    Depends greatly on what view you have of the airfield. It will be mostly common stuff: Starling, House Sparrow, Carrion Crow, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon. Skylarks breed on the airfield and Kestrels regularly hunt. Red Kite and Common Buzzard may be seen overheard. Peregrine, Black Redstart...

    Nerja in November

    Just up the coast to the west is the resort of Torox. There is a dry river bed here worth exploring and the road up into the hills to old Torox village were quite productive too.

    Köyceğiz & Mugla area - SW Turkey

    Hi Paul, I'm in Dalyan next month. Any recommended places to go around Dalyan/Koycegiz then as I guess much of the summer species will have cleared out? Hope to connect with the Mid-spotted and Syrian Woodpeckers, Kruper's Nuthatch, Pygmy Cormorant, Cretzchmar's Bunting. Have enjoyed reading...
