    Equipment

    Currently using 125w MV and 20w actinic depending on location in garden - The former is obviously very bright but vey effective compared to the latter. Just wondering if anyone is using 160w blended bulb. How effective is it at attracting moths and how bright is it compared to the 125w MV...

    Hawfinch question...

    With the current influx of Hawfinch, worth familiarising yourself with the flight call using Xeno Canto :t: http://www.xeno-canto.org/explore?query=hawfinch

    Hawfinch question...

    I posed this question, and Birdergaz mentioned that there has been 1000's reported in France - Will be interesting what winter records produce locally and breeding records next year if some stay too breed?

    Excellent study of a common bird that can be seen in many an urban lake or pool - Look forward too seeing other postings. Sedgley Birder - :t:

    Sandwell Valley

    Reminds me of the 'Golden days' when Sheepwash UP looked liked that - Some great local birds and incredible numbers of common migrants during spring and autumn - Breeding species which have now been lost - Dynamic and changing conditions at the time. Sedgley Birder - :t:

    red kite

    It is surprising how frequent they are seen, even in urban areas. Time spent sitting down at a high point for a bit of vismig or just looking across the skyline can be quite rewarding. For instance, Osprey have to fly over 'dry' land between suitable wetland areas, with the high point of Sedgley...

    The 'Sedgley Triangle' Just to show the orientation of the main open spaces/birding areas around Sedgley and how they fit together. These areas are the main sites which funnel birds towards the high point of Sedgley Beacon. Hope this is of interest to any birders visiting the area. ATB -...

    All Saints - Sedgley A pre shopping visit to the churchyard -Pleasant but chilly. Loads singing with nothing out of the ordinary really. Gave me some time to watch a pair of LTTits actively going in and out of a holly and bramble thicket nest building. Small bits of material being taken in...

    All Saints Churchyard - Sedgley This is a nice little gem hidden just off the town centre - Not attached to the main church, overgrown with most graves not attended - It is therefore little disturbed by the public - Catches the sun and looks good for flycatchers, redstarts and warblers on...
