    An early Steart

    As the nights draw in it has been decided that the EFRS need to wake up and get cracking just that little bit earlier. So it was 5:30 when my annoying alarm went off, blurting out its monotonous tune whilst vibrating madly on the bedside cabinet. I am well practiced in fumbling in the dark (oh...

    From Russia with love

    Cut a long story short I googled my old Zenit camera, a 12XP. Something I had used once back in the 90s and since either lost or thrown away. It was a tank but did see me well through my walking trips through Europe back in the day. I then came across something that caught my eye. A Zenit...

    The next big thing

    What with all the talk of a Pallid Harrier down at Steart I thought I had better take a look. For some reason I wasn't very enthusiastic about all this. I'm not a Twitcher. The EFRS is not about trying to tick things off although I will be the first to admit I do have a wish list but thats not...

    Sardinia Part 1 A room with a view

    At the end of September I was on a 'regular' holiday in Sardinia. Very pleasant it was to. Lots of sun and wine and coffee and pizza and mountains and sea. All to a very high standard. Only one bad cup of coffee all the time I was there. And I like my coffee! As I say it was a regular holiday...

    So long, and thanks for all the Dragonflies

    The mist was thick as I cycled down out of Glastonbury on my last day of holiday. Thoughts of the crystal clear waters of Sardinia* where still in my head. I wasn't disappointed by this change in weather. I love contrasts. Bring it on I say. If it was always baking hot sun all year round it...

    Scoping out new territory

    Steart has still got me buzzing at the moment. Its all this flooding and new hide business thats doing it. I plodded along the river Parrett admiring the weak hot chocolate colour of the incoming water. The usual flocks of gulls milled about and a few Little Egrets were hunting intently along...

    Surf and Turf

    Last outing was a dual solo effort with us both going our separate ways. Today it was back to a twin seater flight. Well we both went to Steart in the car! A four seater to be precise but never mind. We're impressed with what's happening at Steart. We still haven't done the full extent but we're...

    Pale Morph Buzzard

    Out at Steart marshes in Somerset last weekend we came across this beauty circling round with 3 other 'ordinary' buzzards. We first thought our luck was in with a Honey Buzzard but research and an experts opinion confirmed it was 'just' a very pale morph. Still it was a very interesting sight...
