    Weird warbler (no pic)

    Earlier this evening while walking near the low cliff edge in Folkestone we saw a very unusual bird the like I've not seen before? It had the jizz of a willow warbler/chiffy but was a striking pale sand colour merging to almost pure white on the tail? It was feeding on insects on the seed...

    Magpie likes it soggy!

    I was puzzled to keep finding white bread in the birds bath/drinking tray. Recently, I watched a Magpie fly down and drop some white bread in the dish then fly off, presumably coming back later and collecting to eat. Today, I watched a Maggie fly down to the dish with the bread but this time...

    Gull fledged already?!

    Just now I heard the unmistakeable whistling call of a newly fledged Herring gull, sure enough there was one haranguing a parent bird on the roof opposite. Isn't this way too early? July is when I'd expect them to be flying around?

    Rock lice?

    Hi all, possibly a silly question but I cant find much info on the net! I wonder if anyone can put a name to these 'things' I've seen a few times at the harbour? They only seem to appear at very high tides, such as the one this morning and look more or less like woodlice but big. They appear in...

    Safe mode nightmare

    Hi all, my main PC has just developed a weird problem which has me stumped! Avira detected a trojan a few days ago, which it deleted, a second scan confirmed it had been zapped. However, a scan today showed it had reappeared so I went for the approach of a rescan in 'safe mode' - oh boy...

    Blackbird singing in the...

    dead of night, well 6.45am this morning actually! Never heard one in full song in December before? I've heard one in late January a couple of years back but that was a very springlike day, unlike this cold, damp and misty dark morn. Anyone ever heard similar?

    Soaring Terns

    Popped into Oare marshes this afternoon perchance to see the Spotted Crake. No luck though. Whilst there, I watched a flock of 30 or so Common Terns flying around doing a 'touch and go' on one of the little islands. Eventually they circled around once more but then started to climb ever higher...
