    Bird Song

    Hi Peter Select a few of our resident species. They will start to select and defend territory depending on the weather from January through to April before the migrants arrive. I would suggest: Mistle, Song Thrush, Blackbird. Same family. Blackbird has a very mellow song. Song Thrush is...

    2002 Year List

    Hi Steve Mine neither, I am a birder not a twitcher, though I do keep lists. Life, year etc. Dont think I have ever travelled more than 30 miles to chase after a bird. But back to Adrian it was his thing for this year. He enjoyed it and that is what counts. I do what I enjoy and that...

    Three hours of birds on the deck

    Seriously though I do have a major cat problem at the moment. Which I am sure is affecting the birds. I have counted 9 different ones that visit my garden each day. I have suspended all of my feeders high up in an oak tree, but the bloody cats sit underneath spooking the birds. Is there...

    Colour-ringed goldfinches

    Will keep an eye out Ian. We do get some very impressive Goldfinch flocks on thre brecks of Norfolk though I strongly suspect It is a bit far away. Some of our local guys are starting a Corn Bunting colour ringing project in the New Year. Will keep you all posted. burhinus

    Bullfinches

    Hi again CJ It is a quite unmistakeable, likeable call. I seem to find that around the brecks they are easier to see during the winter. Yes they do tend to be in small groups and yes the trees and hedges lack foliage. I agree with Monkeyman, when you have found a spot they frequent you...

    Hello Folks

    Hi Colin You have answered the question I asked you in Seawatching. I did a couple of mini pelagics! from Lowestoft a couple of years ago with Brian from the local RSPB group. Enjoyed the sail but sadly not too many birds. At least it was a good effort and they tried. I have thought about...

    2002 Year List

    Hello Peter Whats in a name? I live in the Brecks of Norfolk. When I set up my first email account several years ago, rather than choose [email protected] I wanted something a bit different. As I rate Stone Curlew as my favourite Breckland bird I decided to take the first part of...

    Bird Song

    Whilst out cycling this morning I heard a Mistle Thrush singing its heart out. It reminded me that now is a good time to listen to songs of our resident UK species. As we slip into the new year several species will begin to sing particularly if we have some nice sunny days. Listen to songs...

    Common Redpoll ?

    Hello Finzzup Did you find the pix? Was it Common Redpoll? I know that the books tell us that birds should be at a particular place during a particular period but so many are now out of date and with global warming as well, many species are behaving strangely. This does not just apply to...
