    Vancouver Island Sep 2016

    We will be visiting Vancouver Island for about a week in Sep 2016. What are the best birding spots to visit at that time of year and how long should we plan for each one (eg 1/2 day, 2 hrs etc) to maximise our chances of seeing the greatest number of bird species. Thanks Allan

    Hi Sal, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. The photos are great. I particularly liked the last one of the Robin with it's head back singing his heart out. Super. :t: On the list we have two types of Martin - House and Sand. Do you know which type it was? OK we leave tomorrow and will be in...

    I know it is winter but is everyone in hibernation? Here I am, only 8 sleeps to go before I am finally back in SA, and no-one is talking. Where are you all? Allan

    Hi everyone, well as you can see I am not dead yet. I've been incredibly busy with the project I am working on, but it is scheduled to finish late July and we are looking forward to coming out SA and Marloth for a month for rest & recuperation and some sunshine - the winter in the UK has been...

    Southern African Forum

    And I'm really looking forward to some South African sunshine. I'm fed up with the cold grey English skies. Unfortunately this trip we will be spending a lot of time on the house, so trips to Kruger will be less frequent than we'd like. I'll post what we do see though. This time next week we...

    Hi Sal, My only problem with Tawny is that it just doesn't look mean enough - the head and bill are much more delicate. Don't some Wahlberg's now overwinter? Allan

    BOP Kruger National Park

    Photo taken near Satara in the KNP in Jun 12. Is this a pale phase/brown headed Wahlberg's? Apologies for quality of this heavily cropped photo - just after dawn so poor light on a dull day and at the extreme range of the lens. Thanks in advance Allan

    Tice's Meadow and Tongham GP, Surrey

    Just a quick note to say thank you to Rich, Kevin etc for a thoroughly enjoyable walk with great company at Tice's today. The butterfly booklet was a real bonus :t: We haven't been there for nearly a year so it was really interesting to see how well things are progressing - keep up the good...

    Good news, bad news Hi everyone, the good news is that I am back. Coincidentally that is also the bad news ;) I have lots of excuses for not being here for so long, and some of them may even be relevant, but let's not go into that. I've had a pleasant half hour catching up from where I...

    Southern African Forum

    Hi everyone, good to hear from you. Sal, what are your dates for the Kruger? We leave for SA in 6 wks 3 days, so is there an overlap? Looking at Sals lists one thing has struck me - the lack of ducks (and Geese). Here in the UK we get loads, and I'm not just talking about cricket, but whenever...

    Nice photo Dave. We intend to visit the north of KNP again, possibly next year, so I'll keep her in mind. Yes I do like snakes, but not in the house ;) Allan
