    Black Wheatear near Fuengirola?

    Quick enquiry for those of you who might be familiar with birding sites around Fuengirola. I will be there for three days from 16th Feb and am keen to try sound record Black Wheatear, if possible. I gather the species should be displaying at this time of year. I have been looking at a trip to...

    Zoom SSH-6 Stereo Shotgun Microphone

    Hi Peter, A quick reply. Both the Zoom SSH and SGH shotgum microphones are reasonable, but I would think the seenheiser is a much better option. I have been using the SGH for a while as a portable option with the Zoom Hn1, which has been fine. It does not deal well with wind noise, my only...

    Programmable Recorders?

    Hi Dave, Hope you are well. For your work with petrels, I'm guessing the Audiomoth is an excellent option for the following reasons. 1. Pre programmable, can be set to record at the same time period on consecutive nights. 2. Battery life is excellent, can be left out for several nights...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    It's seems it may not be over yet... Greater Yellowlegs found in Sweden, think the guys are on the move for this one in the hope it's still there in the morning.

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Excellent day one mop up, with just Raso Lark left on land. A dozen more species required to reach 750.

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    I would expect White billed Diver may well turn up in Sweden in the coming weeks, negating a long trip to Varanger. They may have opportunity to pick up other missed species, American Herring Gull would be foremost among them. It will be an interesting run in to 2018.

    Raddes Warbler today in Ireland. Loop Head.

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Neither Radde's Warbler or Dusky Warbler recorded in Sweden today... A Hume's Warbler is present close to the Two barred Greenish Warbler on Öland, think they need this species?

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    There's lot's of guinness there too. Would be brave to go back for GCT, wish them luck if they do. Dipping again would be rather painful. The stout would taste a whole lot better if they connect though... Radde's and Dusky Warbler must be top of the list as regards species that ought to be in...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Regardless of what the reasons for cutting Corvo short, the guys are now in the UK and the first target will be the long staying Wilson's Phalarope for starters. Dusky and Radde's Warblers will, no doubt, be high on the list of species they will want to put to bed, Further afield, the incredibly...

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Worth noting that November is a month that could prove one of great worth in a WP context. Lingering eastern rarities such as Dusky Warbler likely. Further afield, sites such as Linosa produce eastern rares well into November. A November visit to, say, Kuwait, could throw up several species...

    UK Hawfinch occurence last weekend....?

    Quite likely a shortage of food indeed... Also records from Irish south and southeast coasts these past few days, so seems a displacement of some description is taking place..

    2017 Western Palearctic Big Year

    Dusky Warbler may well be the next addition, two reported on the Northern Archipelago in Uppland today. Corvo must be an attractive option with so much quality from the west available. Given that several additions are available, further vagrants are likely and that they would avoid long travel...
