Calling all Bird Bloggers! (1 Viewer)

I guess a bit of self-publicity never hurt anyone...

My blog covers my local patch (Whitlingham C.P. on the outskirts of Norwich), birding trips out in East Anglia and occasional bits about real ales. B :)
 
Hi folks, I'm new to this forum but have been blogging for a year or so now. My blog is mainly about the countryside and natural world of East Yorkshire, with an emphasis on the Yorkshire Wolds and around my home near Beverley. Recent sightings include a Rough-legged Buzzard near Thixendale.

There are loads of good blogs out there and most of us certainly don't have the time to check out as many as we might want to.

My personal use of blogs is to see what is going on in order to keep my eye open for things or to put my own observations into a wider context.

I therefore check out blogs that give updates on what has been seen. I don't want to read about the bloggers pets etc - but that is my own personal preference.

I started my blog as there was a long period without any news updates covering my area. There is now, but only in Norwegian. Should news become available in English I would seriously consider stopping the blog - something that would save loads of time!!

Anyone interested in latest sightings west of Bergen can check out the blog here.
 
I publish my trip reports on here. They are more indepth than simple lists of what bird was where and where it was.

And no more comments about Dendroica being defunct etc. etc.! ;)

Also, what is considered the "average" life list for someone the age of 15 (like myself?). I'm nearly at 500 species.

It's not because of America specifically, but because my father has had his job switched around. I've lived in England, Canada, Australia and California now.

I would also be interested, my Lists are all in my signature.
I've travelled in Europe and NA, although most of my species are from europe.
 
My blog is a mixture of birding reports if I've seen something good! My thoughts on certain topics and general junk about birding in the UK!

Hopefully I will be able to develop my digiscoping skills in the next year with new gear and I'm also doing a York area year list!

If there's a longer running birding blog than mine I'm not aware of it (since April 2006).

Longevity is no indication of quality though!

Like others, I love blogging and frequently look back over the years. Thats what it's there for. If others want to look in and comment, all the better.

Just beat you to it Paul (Jan 2006, check under yearly diaries on my web site) but I agree with you entirely about logevity and quality. No doubt some one will do better!

Although it takes up a fair amount of my time, I have enjoyed having somewhere to keep all my diaires, photos and trip reports. I find most people are very generous in their comments both to me personally and through contact by e-mail to my somewhat errant photography and writing efforts!

Details of wildlife in and around our small village and Hodbarrow RSPB reserve can be seen on my link www.haverigg.com not a blog as such but a basic website for this area as there was nothing to be seen online ,only tourist adverts for Millom,the nearest local town.
 
I have put some a post on mine about Ruddy Ducks after a few people on the Yorkshire Facebook group made some mental statements about the cull so I thought I would look at the science and history and review it.

A debate on Ruddy Ducks? Now that's a way to get traffic to your site. Why didn't I think of that? :-O
