    Red kite spotted today in staffs

    They are not that common in Staffs yet, I have seen around 8 birds in Staffs (near Wolverhampton) in my life, but they are definitely becoming less of a surprise here.

    Cyprus - April 2024

    Again, I concur, a great report and got me thinking of a Cyprus return next year simply for relaxed enjoyable birding.

    Tenerife in late April

    The UTCs were once considered diagnostic, and when I went to Gran Canarias this year the difference was striking. But.............there is the issue of Collared and African Collared Dove interbreeding to the point that in the Canaries it is thought no longer to be a safe assumption that the...

    Cyprus - April 2024

    Brings back memories of several trips I did to the island around 10 years ago. Like you I love the place, I tended to favour Paphos headland, Anarita Park and the nearby dam / copse at Mavrokolympos Dam and coppice, also Mandria, or at the opposite end of the island around Cape Greco. Some...

    Lanzarote - April 2024

    Nice report, I love Lanzarote. Brings back memories! Most of the Short toed Larks you saw are (I think) likely to be Lesser Short-toed Larks.

    Very short report Northern Germany 18/4/24 - 19/4/24

    My briefest Vacational Trip Report ever...............in fact I travelled to Deutschland to go to what I believe is the biggest bird park in the world (I stand to be corrected) - Walsrode Vogel Park. The purpose was to see exotic species that personally, I will never be able to see in their...

    Italia Exotica, 29 March-3 April.

    Seen the Leiothrix's in Barcelona - absolutely stunning little critters! Would like to see the Bobwhite's - I bet they are usually difficult though.

    Are there Red Kites near Stansted Airport?

    Attached is the E-Bird map showing Red Kites sightings around Stansted Airport. You can see the runway above the big red marker in the middle. A string of sightings have been seen north and south of it as you can see, from the M11. The area is not the main area for Red Kites, but they are seen...

    Do you count heard only birds on your life list?

    How do you know birds calling are not recordings? Best bird I heard and not saw was a Desert Owl in Israel - not counting that though on my life list - got to have seen it. In fact I was more likely to count a freshly-dead and limp Nubian Nightjar than anything ' only heard'. Each to their own...

    Morocco again! Guelmim, Agadir and Oukaimeden

    Thx Simmo. So presumably you can virtually drive up to (but not past) the Sous-Massa Ecomuseum? No sign at Souss Massa of all the guides trying to charge you for access, which is good news. I do wonder whether Desert Sparrow and African Desert Warbler can be found independently in Merzouga?
