    Aussie Local patch

    My local patch is beginning to get very cold and winterish now. The Lyrebirds are more active and are ripping the garden up searching for worms and grubs, if only I could train them to dig up weeds instead of my most precious small shrubs! But I really can't complain because I chose to live here...

The article from the Telegraph on 22/04/04 stated that if successful this would be the first record of breeding White Storks in England since 1416. Is this true? Are...

    A 'Multitude" of Oriental Pratincoles in NW Australia

    Over 2.5 million birds in one place at one time is more than I can imagine, but this is the estimate of huge flocks of Oriental Pratincoles found recently in the Anna Plains area of Nothern WA. Read all about it and see pics at http://tasweb.com.au/awsg/whatsnew.htm I've just edited the above...

    From my Patio

    Most evenings when the weather is suitable, Jim and I eat our evening meal outside on the stone patio. It’s usually a very casual meal cooked quickly on the BBQ with a salad and a bottle of very-cheap-but-good Australian wine (probably Jacobs Creek) to accompany it. In fact we eat most of out...

    Your Worst Birding Day of the Year

    I had the most awful birding day of MY LIFE last month, it has taken me all this time to get over it. I'm lucky enough to live on a large forested property way out in the Australian bush where lots of lovely birds allow me to share their home with them. The Sooty Owl (Tyto tenebricosa) is a...

    Female UK Birders????

    I have noticed that there are very few female birders posting messages from the UK. Maybe they are all hiding behind male sounding names . Just curious about why that should be so. Or is it not a common practice for females to be active birdowatchers in UK?? I am not including 'Nina' in...

    Good Morning and Hello from Byron Bay, Australia

    It is a wet and warm morning here at Byron Bay and the outlook is a bit grey over the Pacific Ocean. No White-bellied Sea Eagles in view, not even a Brahminy Kite. Hope to enjoy the Forum but will be a 'quiet observer' unless something really exciting happens.;)
