    Hey Andre, I made a post about Red Phalarope. Maybe you can help. Next July I am going with Oceanwide in early July 2019 for the Polar Bear but am also keen to see Red Phalarope. I heard about the 'dog kennels' in Longyearbyen. Can you advise please? Cheers.

    Grey / Red Phalarope Longyearbyen

    Can anyone help with info on best place to look for the above. I am booked on a ship based tour but it seems Grey / Red Phal is a bit hit and miss on the Polar Bear trips and I also heard the 'Dog Kennel' area is good for this species? Additionally is this area or any other to look for it inside...

    Has digital photography changed how we see birds?

    I found some of the stuff said here a bit pompous! Everyone has their own way of enjoying birds and however that happens so long as they are not adversely affected what's the issue. Just because one generation went out with notebooks and studied in the field doesn't mean to say that is the only...

    Desert Sparrows M'hamid

    Just a quick follow-up. I did see the Desert Sparrows at M'Hamid but the camp was unnamed. It was south-west of M'Hamid after driving out of Old M'Hamid to a Military outpost in the dunes then heading west across the desert. I would say without local knowledge impossible to find. The sparrows I...

    Desert Sparrows M'hamid

    Nick, thanks very much for the gen that is very useful. I think I have enough to go on now to try it. There are also a number of sightings in the wadi immediately to the east of where you have said so I'm think it seems to be the right place to try. Much appreciated, thank you. Brian, thanks...

    Desert Sparrows M'hamid

    Hi Brian, yes only going as far east as Tagdilt track as I have been to Merzouga x2 before and seen the Sparrows there both times. I am on my own this time and dont want to spend too much time driving and wanted to try somewhere new, thanks anyway.

    Desert Sparrows M'hamid

    Hi can anyone advise which of the bedoiun camps in M'hamid have Desert Sparrows please. I have read they are there and dont know if this is just one or two or generally present everywhere. I have contacted one local camp who informed me they have simplex present and sent me photos of domesticus...

    'Suppression' of bird news in Worcestershire?

    Phil, certainly none of the examples are from Upton for sure.

    'Suppression' of bird news in Worcestershire?

    Hi Phil, firstly I used the word suppression 'softly' but to answer your question I suppose it depends on what service you subscribe to. As I've said I subscribe to RBA and for sure there has been a lot of local Worcs stuff that only gets on after 22.00 if at all and I could dig out loads of...
