    Estonia - RFI late May 2015

    Hi Jos, Thanks for letting me know about the Nato exercises - what an absolute nightmare! Given that the bears were one of our main priorities, we've actually decided to head to Romania instead. Adam

    Estonia - RFI late May 2015

    Thanks Jos and Andrew - I'm glad to hear that a few of these species are widespread... I wonder if I can put it another way - If you were travelling to Estonia for five days, which sites would you definitely put on an itinerary? At the moment, we're thinking about some the following sites (not...

    Estonia - RFI late May 2015

    Hi, I'm travelling to Estonia with a few friends to do some birding for five days at the start of June (29th May to 3rd June). I've got Dave Gosney's DVD and I've worked out a rough itinerary, but as I've never been to Eastern Europe before, there are a lot of species that I would love to...

    Looking to Travel!!!

    Hi Jo, I spent a fair bit of time looking at South Africa, so that could definitely be an option. I'd be really keen to see mammals as well, but birds are the main priority for me. Happy to consider a lot of destinations... Harry - Simmo's right, you need to be careful with postings on any...

    Looking to Travel!!!

    Littlehampton - I live in North London, but work and life commitments mean that I can't do much British listing at the drop of a hat anymore. Anyway, after going to Canada a couple of years ago and seeing tonnes of stunning warblers, I decided that I would focus on world listing, aiming at a...

    Essex Birding

    I had a quick scout around inland Essex at a few sites yesterday... Managed to see the Raven at Stapleford Tawney at around 11.30am after waiting for an hour or so. It flew from opposite St Mary's Church North along Tawney Lane until it was lost to view. Then I drove around Bocking, Braintree...

    Essex Birding

    I suspect that the juvenile Night Heron may be fishing at Wallasea Island in the evenings and roosting at Burnham-on-crouch during the day. There aren't that many trees on Wallasea Island, so Riverside Park might be one of the closest roost sites. Having said that, I'll probably be proved...

    Unstreaked Acro in London.....

    These pictures really are excellent Ken, especially considering how elusive the bird can be. I think I've managed about 10 seconds worth of glimpses in four hours on the site, so I appreciate how much time and effort you've put in! For anyone considering visiting from nearby, there's a great...

    Unstreaked Acro in London.....

    Having seen the brook in question, I think we need some sort of biohazard kit before we go in... i.e. Walter White in Breaking Bad.

    Unstreaked Acro in London.....

    Hi Ken, Good to meet you on Monday. I've been doing some reading up on this tricky acro as well. It looks quite similar (albeit, as you would expect much more worn), to the bird at Kelynack in Cornwall in 2003, which was tentatively claimed as a Caspian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus fuscus) by...

    Costa Rica April 2015

    Gps Hi Alan, I'm also birding Costa Rica in April 2015, so I hope you don't mind me posting here. I'm going with my fiancee, on the condition that we'll spend about 40% of the trip in beach resorts... So we won't see anywhere near the same amount of species (and endemics) as you guys, but...

    Provence - Winter

    Thanks Jonathan and James, I ended up taking the in-laws to Arles and Les Baux on the day I had planned for birding, so time was pretty restricted, but I did manage to see lots of Black Redstarts in the castle of the latter and an Eagle Owl near Les Baux later in the evening. Had a quick look...

    Provence - Winter

    Hello, I'm spending a few days in Nice at the start of January and will probably get the chance to spend two days birdwatching. I'm planning on renting a car and travelling to les-baux-en provence for Wallcreeper, Blue Rock Thrush, Alpine Accentor, before trying for nearby Bonelli's Eagles and...
