    Second time around!

    Thought I'd give this site another whirl - I used to be here quite a bit but my last post was over 3 years ago, and were very sporadic for several years leading up to then. The past few years have been quite eventful, including a move from the South Coast to Kilnsea (Spurn), and a heart attack...

    Should I Keep Birds From Bathing Below Freezing

    Surely the reason for bird deaths is poor hygiene - it's not the feeding/water that's being provided that causes the problem.

    Spring destination?

    Went to Poland for a short break - 11 years ago, how time flies! - and it was indeed pretty awesome! Saw a few White-backed Woodpeckers (eg at Zebra Zubra) and the Great Snipe near Narew Bridge were well-known, no idea if they are still there though. Missed Grey-headed Woodpecker, possibly the...

    A few more shearwaters, South Atlantic, November 2018

    Seeing more moths...

    It's quite an interesting problem - I imagine you can't just swing up somewhere in a target moth's range, pop out the trap and bingo - you'd need to be quite specific in locating the trap (as a few hundred yards could make all the difference) and it would need to be at a location where trapping...

    Tree Sparrow calls? W Yorks moors, Sep

    Sounds more like House Sparrow to me, certainly no "stand out" Tree Sparrow noises in the mix imho.

    Olrog's Gull in Bahia Blanca, Argentina

    I had no idea Josh - guess that explains why I only saw one or two, thought I just wasn't looking hard enough! The cruise left in the early evening, so I assumed the birds roosted out on the breakwaters.

    Olrog's Gull in Bahia Blanca, Argentina

    Don't know if this will be of use, but on a cruise in Feb 2014 there were a few Olrog's Gulls on the breakwater at Buenos Aires main harbour, seen from the ship as it sailed off in the early evening.

    Eagle silhouettes - Bulgaria Black Sea

    Why isn't the first pic Steppe Eagle, Tom? I'm pretty rusty on these eagles, so I'm just asking not contradicting your ID.

    I believe Smooth are around Parting Carn, near the post box in the wall.

    Visiting Dorset with my RSPB Group on our Annual birdwatching holiday in 2018

    It would also be handy to know whereabouts you will be based, as you're looking at perhaps 2 hours driving between the furthest-flung sites. Also, does your itinerary have to be fixed, or will it be flexible on the day?
