    Bird Atlas 2007–11

    Atlas Is it available in bookshops? I fancy a trip into London tomorrow and would like to pick up a copy. I was daft enough not to pre-order it and would be at work when one of these hopeless courier services would try to deliver it anyway.

    Birdfair 2013

    Birdfair. I'll be there on the Friday, already got my ticket to save queuing so much. The main attraction for me is the lectures, especially the conservation ones, not too fussed about the one which are aimed at promoting holidays. Will have a look around the marquees with main interest in the...

    RSPB's New Logo

    Nay Sayers There seems to be a never ending wave of criticism from some bird watchers about the RSPB which I find disappointing. I wouldn't object to a new name, dropping the 'Royal' for example but maybe that would be a step too far for some members. Perhaps this gentle evolution is the best...

    Interesting Tree at Football Ground

    Nice Ash. I told you I didn't know much about trees! Thanks for the info. They are going to do building work at the ground to upgrade it for higher level football but I hope they keep the tree. Perhaps it has a preservation order on it.

    Interesting Tree at Football Ground

    I was at a football match at a ground in the Kent countryside yesterday. In one corner, just outside the pitch perimeter, was was looked like a very old and interesting tree. I took a picture of it and have attached it to this post. I don't know my trees very well but could it be a Yew?

    Saving the spoon-billed sandpiper

    This is a new DVD that is essentially a documentary of the 2011 expedition to Eastern Russia to collect SBS chicks for the captive breeding programme. I got it yesterday at the Birdfair and have just watched it. It is very good, the footage of the chicks is remarkable. I would recommend this...

    invasion year for waxwings?

    Waxwings at Leighton Moss I saw my first ever Waxwings today at RSPB Leighton Moss. There were around 15 on a tree at the back of the car park near the path to Lillians Hide. Well chuffed. Good views of a Bittern on the ice bound lake as well.

    Waxwing Alert! I've never seen a Waxwing but I'm making it a priority during my two week stay in South Cumbria over Christmas so I'm chuffed they have been spotted in Haverigg where me Dad lives!

    Very Good Video If you look in the background you can see their colleagues whom aren't involved with the 'dancing' throwing snowballs at their mates!

    Slender-billed Curlew quest

    Cracking down on dodgy birding Highway Man, I read your blog. I don't see anything wrong with the pic of the trespassing birder being removed from a farmers field by Lincolnshire's finest. What mag is he the editor of though? Name and shame........NAME AND SHAME!!!!! ;)

    'British Birds' Dec 08

    Birdwatch 'Birdwatch' is my favourite bird mag. My main interest is in conservation and it always has interesting stuff on the subject. The mag is even a Species Champion for the Azores Bullfinch. Sound or what! The SBC laminated card and article this month are pretty special. I haven't had a...

    IE warning

    No such thing as total security! You have to be pragmatic about security on the net. No software is secure, even when fully patched. If it was then it wouldn't need any more patches and will we see any more IE patches.....of course we will! Firefox isn't any more likely to be secure, it's just...

    Slender-billed Curlew quest

    SBC Spotting There is a good article on the project in the January 2009 issue of Birdwatch mag (UK). It comes with a great free gift! You get a laminated 'toolkit for finding Slender-billed Curlews'. It is an ID card that tells you how to distinguish a pukka SBC from a bog standard Curlew...

    Birds in Cumbria

    Operation WAXWING I'm coming home to South Cumbria for the Christmas holidays soon. I'm planning on making a real effort to see Waxwings for the first time so I would be grateful for any sightings on the Furness peninsular or failing that anywhere. If all else fails I'll make a day of it and...

    Bird Watching December 2008

    Had a feeling of deja vu when I picked it up. A quick flip through my back issues of Birdwatch confirmed my suspicions! That aside, David Lindos column is excellent this month. I found his story really moving.

    Search begun for vanished curlews (BBC News)

    Exciting new project I really hope this project succeeds. It says on the website that the Slender-Billed Curlew Working Group had been dormant from 2003 until 2008. It doesn't say why though? Surely this bird needed conservation action and the support of a working group during those years?

    29 swans shot dead (not confirmed)

    No conspiracy, just dead swans Isn't there a time of year when they can't fly as they are in moult (or something). that would explain it. Anyway, why try and find holes in the story?

    Rare Birds Yearbook 2009

    Ordering problems I just tried to order it but at the end of the process the web page told me that my bank requires me to authorise the transaction but didn't tell me how to do it. Maybe it will sort itself out? Update: I had a timeout message then it said it had worked. I look forward to a...

    Graham Wynne - Conservation Hero It is good to see Graham Wynne in at 20. I've heard him speak a few times at RSPB events and he is an inspiration to me. A great man. Thanks for posting.
