    Spring Migration, Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada, May 2022 (14/05/2022 – 22/05/2022.

    As mentioned on a previously posted North American trip report, I've long had a fascination with New World Warblers. I've been fortunate to see a few species in the UK, but in the end, I decided to go across the pond and start finding them for myself. During the late 1990s I was working on a...

    Pelee or Rondeau spring 2022?

    So Covid-19 allowing, my spring 2022 plan is to head from the UK to Ontario for spring warbler migration. My question is, do I primarily base myself at Point Pelee or Rondeau Provincial Park? Clearly Point Pelee is the more well known destination, but looking at ebird this Spring, Rondeau seems...

    In search of Florida spring migrants April 2018

    I’ve long had a fascination with North American Warblers and Thrushes, where I’ve been fortunate enough to see 5 species of New World Warbler in the UK, along with 4 Grey-cheeked Thrushes, one of which I found myself on the Isle of Scilly. So when my wife asked what I wanted to do for my 50th...

    Warbler North Florida?

    I'm a UK birder with a fascination for American Warblers and I've copied these pics from another site, where I've been trying to help the photographer ID it. Closest I can suggest is a female or first winter Nashville Warbler; however location and timing appears doubtful?

    Santorini, Greece (2 weeks early June)

    Worst place I’ve ever been for birds (chosen by wife as non-birding holiday), I knew it was going to be hard, as it’s a volcanic island with few trees and no free standing water: • Yellow-legged Gull • Shag • Common Kestrel (couple of birds encountered) • Common/Long-legged Buzzard (seen a...

    Florida, Anna Maria Island 28/04/2016 - 03/05/2016

    Anna Maria Island 28/04/2016 - 03/05/2016 This was part of a wider Florida holiday, the first 5 nights of which were spent on this delightful Island. Knowing it was prime migration time, I was keen to do some birding, which hopefully included some migrant American warblers (mythical birds to us...

    Pindos National Park info?

    I’m interested to hear from anyone who has visited this area, as there is so little info available online (?). I’m trying to determine if it’s worth spending a few days in the area for general birding/walking. It first came to my attention via this guide on page 106...

    Pathos, Cyprus 09/11/2012 - 16/11/2012

    This was my first visit to Cyprus, primarily it was a holiday with my wife prior to me starting a new job.

    UK call, dusk only (Autumn/Winter) - I'm stumped?

    Ok I'm a reasonably competent birder, UK life list 400+ and I can identify most UK birds by song and call, where you'd expect to do so. However I'm also a keen coarse angler, and spend many a day on a remote part of Cheshire's river Dane in pursuit of winter Chub. One swim I fish at dusk on a...

    Product reviews in the birding press?

    This has been niggling me for a while, I’m quite a big fan of RBA’s Bird Alert Pro app for the iPhone and Android, I’d go as far as to say its ground breaking and really does take instant bird information to the next level (Important to point out that I have no links to RBA other than my...

    Bird Alert Pro on the iPhone

    Has anyone tried the free 24 hour trial of Bird Alert Pro on the iPhone by RBA? Downloaded the App Wednesday and was very impressed with how easy it is to use, and especially the tailoring to own personal needs. The map directions and available species photos are a nifty feature too. It’s a...

    Singing Willow Warblers Aug/Sept

    During the last week I've encountered several Willow Warblers which were best described as having a partial/subdued song. All birds were in local hedgerows (passage - non breeding habitat), I've also encountered this behaviour as late as mid September in past years and I'm curious as to whether...

    Laser Pens

    Is it true that the RSPB use laser pens to scare Grey Herons from Tern colonies? I believe ornamental fish keepers also use them to scare Herons from ponds, as do anglers to scare waterfowl from their baited areas to prevent accidental hooking of birds? So is there use acceptable under the...
