Steve Blain presents "Bird Porn": Whitethroat (with bits of a Lesser)
http://steveblain.blogspot.com/2015/06/whitethroat-with-bits-of-lesser.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Whitethroat (with bits of a Lesser). Is giving a passable impression of a Lesser Whitethroat amongst its usual song. This bird was found originally in 2014 by Roger Hicks in a similar area but wasn't really pinned down until last week when he relocated it. It joins a select group of species I've heard give copies of similar species songs - Firecrests that sounds like Goldecrests, and Willow Warblers that sound like Chiffchaffs - both of which I have now come across several times.

Steve Blain presents "Bird Porn": February 2014
http://steveblain.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 February 2014. I eventually managed a trip up to Norfolk to see the Parrot Crossbills at Holt CP yesterday. After seeing them very briefly first thing in the morning we eventually got brilliant views around lunchtime. Not excellent photos but I was too busy actually looking at them. Choop choop!

Steve Blain presents "Bird Porn": March 2014
http://steveblain.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 March 2014. Thanks to Neil Wright, I finally got to hear the remaining Siberian Chiffchaff sing yesterday morning. And it sounds more or less like it should for a tristis. Take a listen:. But there is no doubt this wasn't a 'classic' bird, at least in my eyes. When it first arrived it looked good (see above) but you would have walked straight past it if you were only 'listening' for Siberian Chiffchaffs. Take a listen here:. Posted by Steve Blain.

Steve Blain presents "Bird Porn": December 2013
http://steveblain.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 21 December 2013. Strange looking beasts, aren't they! They have been at Blunham Lake for a couple of years now but can often be hard to pick out of the Wigeon flock. I think they could be hybrid Wigeon x Gadwall. Any other opinions on their identification welcome. Posted by Steve Blain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Birds, Butties & Bugs: August 2013
http://robinsbirds.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Birds, Butties and Bugs. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Not seen this brood before but it it likely they have orginated from the Gadsey Brook workings north of the river- seen here on Ouse at Willington. The pan-shot was nice but flawed by two of the birds slightly angled away from me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bird watcher since I can remember but birding since 1997. Earliest memories of watching nesting birds around Ickleford Common with my Grandfather during the 1960s.
