    Five Cuckoos - puzzling behaviour

    On Saturday at about 06:30am, I arrived at a nature reserve in south Worcestershire, and I heard a number of cuckoos calling. The calls were coming from different directions, and they were obviously moving around. Through my bins I spotted one and then a second in the same tree. When one flew...

    Birding in Worcestershire

    Love the shots. I live in Pershore so regularly go to Croome. There are often Kestrels hovering off the embankment east of the river, south of the house. At weekends it's usually just too busy with visitors for birding.

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    Shuttleworth Collection. Old Warden airfield in Bedfordshire is the home of the Shuttleworth Collection. Almost all of the aircraft in the collection are airworthy, and give a fascinating insight into the history of aviation. It's well worth a visit to see the old aircraft, and their flying...

    Springwatch 2018

    I'm afraid Gillian has proved to be a weak presenter. It hasn't improved from last year. Her halting style of delivery, pausing in the wrong places in sentences is annoying, and in one short section, she used "Now" to start every sentence - 8 times in total. The shame is that it's detracting...
