    Hungary Trip in June

    Thanks David. As Brian has said, we had good views of both birds. Missed Bearded Tits though. The day we were at the fish farm the train wasn't running so we could only visit the pools within walking distance, and that wasn't too far in the heat! Still a great place though and we saw lots. I'd...

    Southern African Forum

    A friend and I set off for a trip to Kruger and KZN without knowing a thing about the flooding until we changed planes at Paris and noticed a short piece about it in an English newspaper. This was the Thursday (Jan 19th), so a couple of days after the worst of the flooding I believe. Our hearts...

    Serra dos Tucanos news?

    Thanks Andrew. That's good news at least, although it's awful to hear about all the people who have died in the area, like the ranger, or lost their homes. Good news too about Serra dos Tucanos. I contacted Birdfinders, who I travelled with, and they've replied to say they've been in touch with...

    Serra dos Tucanos news?

    Having spent a wonderful 10 days here a few years ago I've been concerned that they may have been affected by the bad flooding in the Rio de Janeiro area. Does anyone have any news? There's nothing on their website but keeping that up-to-date is unlikely to be a priority if they have been...

    Gretna starling roost - how many??

    Thanks Steve, that was my feeling too but nice to have it confirmed by someone who's been many times. Great video, the best I've seen of the roost. The tripod makes all the difference.

    Gretna starling roost - how many??

    The roost is now one of the highlights of the winter months for me. As I live in Newcastle it's quite a distance to travel so any updates on this thread are be very useful, especially which side of the motorway the birds are favouring. Thanks to those who've been doing just that. A question for...

    Northumbrian Birding

    June, the goat shed is about 100 yards on the right when you turn right at the crossroads (where the big house is). There's room for a couple of cars to park very near. It sounds as if you know where Prestwick Carr itself is. Get back if you don't and I'll give you directions (as I'm sure others...

    Ex Beeb Membership Falls!!!

    I know exactly where that is Brian. It's been there at least a couple of years that I know of and isn't an overnight thing. I think it's genuine folk art. Quite surreal. Councils have spent small fortunes on modern art which is no better.

    Northumbrian Birding

    Thanks very much Gary. I remember you posting about them last winter but never got round to going to have a look myself. I'm determined to make the effort this time, especially as it's a short drive for me.

    Gary, could you recommend a good time of evening to see the owl? Thanks.

    Return of a Wet Birder!

    Blimey, you old Scrooge. I certainly wouldn't have made you Mince Pie Monitor if I'd known that was your attitude ;) My bird of the day was the very confiding female Stonechat. Their subtle but lovely colouring often gets overlooked when the more showy males are around.
