    Watching wildlife at night - night vision bins?

    Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been posted before, but I did do a quick search and nothing came up so... what would you recommend for watching wildlife at night? We have deer, wild boar, badgers and lots of owls in this neck of the woods and we'd love to see them as well as hear them. I...

    Hampstead Heath Pond Project

    Thought i'd have a wander on Hampstead Heath today, but my usual places have been turned into construction sites due to the Corporations Pond Project. Two of the actual ponds were also no-go zones, so no joy there, although i did manage to spot a couple of Swans who had decided to hang on in...

    Very Simple Bird Feeder

    Bought this bird feeder at the Ideal Home Exhibition back in the Summer, i was quite sold on the design and thought i's share with you all. Very simple really, just a block of wood with recesses cut out in which to place two terracotta plant pot saucers. The birds seem to like it although unsure...

    Pale Clouded Yellow?

    Spotted this in south west France last week. I'm pretty sure it's a Pale Clouded Yellow judging by the spots on the wing, but wondered if anyone would know if this was the little blighter who made short work of the Acanthus plant that was next to it? It was very stationary and stayed on the...

    Lovely Afternoon on Le Mont Saint-Michel

    Had a lovely Sunday afternoon on Mont Saint-Michel, and like a complete lemon, forget to take my bins! Attached is a pic of me and the old man trying to identify some birds in the distance; i'm pretty sure they were Shags. Plenty of bird life here, but quite difficult to see in the glare of the...

    Nesting on Hampstead Heath

    Had a wander up Hampstead Heath on Sunday and spotted netting along one of the ponds, which i can only assume is to protect nesting birds and their young from over enthusiastic dogs jumping into the water (or maybe even kids throwing stuff). A Moorhen was already sitting on a nest, but we didn't...

    Hampstead heath

    Haven't been to Hampstead heath for a while, due to the fact that last time i went up there i was followed by a nutter. Sort of put me off! Anyway went up there to blow away the cobwebs and take my mind off my upcoming final project which is due in in 4 weeks! Here's what i saw: Song thrushes...

    Name the bird on the stamp!

    Ok, so i'll admit it, i collect birds on stamps (maybe i should get out more!), so i thought it might be fun to post some bird stamps and see if you can guess what they are. I've blanked out their names so no cheating! When it's guessed correctly, i'll post another one. The first stamp is from...
