    State of Hirundine passage this Spring?

    Looking at my Spring return for hirundines this year, they appear to have fallen off a cliff! By the 24th May last year, Iā€™d accrued 12 Northbound House Martins/27 Swallows. This year same time frame, 1 Northbound House Martin/11 Swallow!! Anyone else got better news?

    An unknown from NELondon.

    Having been through the book (Lewingtons) several times resulting in a blank on this one! Circa an inch long, reminiscent perhaps of a Lackey?ā€¦certainly need assistance on this one. Cheers

    An odd feather found on a patch walk on a plain in Epping Forest.

    Snakes on the sidewalk, Bonking Turtles and a few sps on Paphos Headland April 13-20th 2024

    Last visited April ā€˜22, always a privilege and moreā€¦to go back. With great glee we left this rain sodden island for the heat and light of this paradise isle, albeit somewhat sobered by the ongoing horrors on their doorstep. Even with the passage of time, the destination still provides...

    Coming ā€œfull circleā€.

    During the late ā€˜60ā€™s at weekend during the Summer months, Iā€™d drive down to the New Forest or the South West Surrey heathlands in pursuit of the near mythical Hobby! It was certainly an all day affair, coming from NEast London and returning back through London central (no M25 in those days)...

    Thought this might be of general interest?

    On holiday last week in Cyprus, I bumped into a very keen garden lister, being of the same ilk, we exchanged lists. Both having been living at our respective abodes for 40 and 41 years respectively, of course all the ā€œtop drawer birdsā€ were exchanged on both sides much to our mutual glee. Iā€™ve...

    Turtle spā€¦Paphos last week.

    Found what looked like a pair of mating turtles inshore off the headland, the default would be Loggerhead, failing that, Green Turtle, however looking on line at the head pattern, it appears to look more like Hawksbill. Although theyā€™re not supposed to occur in the Eastern Med? Cheers

    Odd Wheatear on Paphos last week?

    Came across this bird at the Architectural Ruin on the headland, it did look oddā€¦ie being particularly dark, more so than yeā€™r average female/imm type Eastern Black-eared Wheatear. As far as the images are concerned, it was unfortunate that I was always following it into the sun. That said...

    Hooded Crows dive bombing drones persistently!

    Witnessed the above whilst sitting at Cafe Nerros in Paphos (old town) during last week. There were three birds involved, seemingly taking turns to dive bomb a single drone that was possibly being flown ā€œfor the purpose ofā€. Has anyone else witnessed this behaviour elsewhere? Cheers
