    Kuwait, 28 Jan - 2 Feb 2012

    Folks, Here's a link to my full trip report of a week spent in Kuwait with a small British group. With a mixture of hard work and a little bit of good fortune we managed to see all of the groups target species. http://chrislansdell.blogspot.com/ Indian Roller, Buff-bellied Pipit (japonicus)...

    Kuwait 30 November To 6 December 2011

    Hi Paul, As a bit of a Kuwait veteran I'd have to tend to agree with Rich. Indian Rollers do have the tendency to turn up a little later in the winter than your trip. Amazingly we had one in April a couple of years ago that went on to summer! You did pretty well in any case. I've not been in the...

    Corsica & Sardinia, May 2009

    Cheers Richard/Andre, It would seem that the Calif Quails are still cowering in the scrub after they saw Mr Bonser! Seriously - we put it down the fact that if they're breeding then the males have probably stopped calling by now and the females could be sitting. There are now a couple of...

    Arava 09

    Hi All, I was in Israel at the end of March (and last September for a month), in 3 visits to Shizaf I've never failed with Arabian Warbler. Yotvata is a different story though - they do still occur around the area of the old police station (apparantly 1 pair) but are very difficult. The Arava...

    Norfolk birding

    Hi All, For the record, I've been to Sculthorpe Moor a few times recently and on only one occasion have I seen Willow Tit. All the birds visiting the feeders have been Marsh Tits. The Willow Tit (which was very vocal) was in the woodland to the left of the boardwalk as you walk out towards...

    Connor, There are those that would argue there isn't a self-supporting population in the Brecks any more either! They seem to be going the same way that Lady A's have Chris
