    Had some decent birds in a shortish look at Farlington today... A juv Pale-bellied Brent was showing very well with the Dark-bellied flock. Could only find 4 Avocet plus 11 Black-necked Grebes and 5 Red-breasted Mergs Jan

    Thanks for the pm regarding spotshanks and slav grebes. Saw the Bewicks myself on Boxing Day. Must admit I'm surprised they were still present today as woke up yesterday evening and after a little swim, flew off strongly west calling. Had 4 Brambling showing very well at the feeders too, all...

    Thanks for the directions Paul. Saw the bird earlier showing very well in a tree til 13:15 at least. Went on from there to Normandy marshes. I've had a few too many B (:B (:B (: so I'll just cut and paste what I put on hoslist! Nothing amazing but an enjoyable way to spend Xmas. "Had a drive...

    Lol not exactly...although I don't suppose it'd cause quite the invasion into my livingroom that a Junco or Ovenbird or something would (now if Santa could plonk one of them below my window overnight you're all welcome ;)). I'm sure there are more scenic settings to watch Kingfishers from anyway...

    Not exactly New Forest, but I have 1-2 most days from my livingroom window in Swaythling ;) Lucky enough to have the Itchen running past right outside. If you're in Romsey I woulda thought the lakes at Broadlands would be worth a shot and not too far away. Jan

    Did seem a pretty good weekend to be out and about locally! I caught up with one of the Botley Waxwings, and the Ring-necked Duck on Friday, a Great Northern Diver off Hythe on Saturday and today had cracking views of Yellow-browed Warbler, Firecrest and Ring-billed Gull. I'm going to be going...

    Hi Paul, seems to have cleared up nicely outside aside from the wind, so I hope you get the chance to have a look! Seems as good a place as any for it to turn up now. Otherwise there's the large hill with cattle on the junction of the A27 and A3090 in Romsey that would be well worth a look for...

    Lepe is the area I usually see good numbers of Meds too. I spend a fair bit of time there most weekends birding...always seems like something good may turn up there. More than happy today from a much extended lunch break at work in Romsey. Every day I have a wander before and for at least a...

    I get 1-3 Marsh Tits every day at work in Romsey...always nice to see :t: Having seen them disappear from so many places in Britain even since I started birding it's the kinda bird I always make sure I appreciate! I think in terms of places that never bring me luck, I'd have to say Milford on...

    Had a great day at Farlington today... after a long wait and many walks up and down the sea wall, the Wryneck finally showed very well and gave prolonged views in evening sunshine. One or two Ospreys were seen distantly in flight and on posts. Probably the highlight was a prolonged performance...
