My 2013 highlights. Mostly birds in East Yorkshire http://birdingandbikingblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/31/2013-in-12-pictures/
Hi all
Happy new year to one and all.
Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a website or Blog that covers sightings in the Wheldrake/North Duffield Carrs/Bubwith area. Just wondering if there are many Whoopers etc in the area.
Many thanks.
John
p.s. - For info - Smew still at Pugneys on Fishing lake by river.
Andy Walker's blog is a good un. Mentioned above as awbirder.
Hi Andy, Chris & Ollie
Many thanks for the info and comments. I will keep an eye on the blogs and more importantly I will get out to those sites soon and will let you know what I see.
Cheers
John
The latest thinking appears to confirm that Thayer's/Kumlien's/Iceland are all one species with Kumlien's being far more numerous and with a much wider range in world terms then Iceland.
An alternative idea is that Kumlien's is hybrid between Thayer's (as a full species) and Iceland (as a full species). Accordingly the hybrid would be commoner then the parent species.
Best wishes for the new year to one and all. B
One mystery bird not sure what it is and frustrating not to be able to get closer Thought Kestrel at first but not sure anyone got any ideas?
And for John Bullfinch have a look at my blog http://zingsldv.blogspot.co.uk/
