    Yellow-billed egret (ardea brachyrhynchos)

    I see from my latest species update from HBW that Intermediate egret (ardea intermedius) has been replaced by Yellow-billed Egret (Ardea brachyrhyncha) across sub-Saharan Africa. Can anyone advise if intermediate does not occur in Africa and should be replaced by yellow-billed in my records for...

    Twitching

    Sound advice! I do plenty of patch work at home in mid-Cheshire but always used to enjoy boosting my pathetic British List until my realisation that life is finite and mine rapidly approaching the final day. As you suggest I can see most of the waifs and strays in their breeding or wintering...

    Twitching

    (MY) LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR TWITCHING Having recently spent untold hours looking through gates/peering over hedges/and numbing my buttocks sitting in hides I have come to the conclusion that life's too short for a septuagenarian to waste time 'twitching'. Invariably I have arrived too late or left...

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    Probably only anecdotal but there seems to be less hirundines and swifts around mid-Cheshire than recent years. Passing a large herd of cattle by Delamere Forest this morning I was struck by the very few martins flying above them. Thinking back the Sand Martin banks at Northwich Woodlands have...

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    Despite prolonged searching of the area around Witton Mill car park and Ashton's mound there was no sign of the bird reported via several visitors. Some compensation was the sighting of 2 Med Gulls and 10 Whimbrel. Of note to local birders was the appearance of 3 Lapwing chicks on Ashton's Flash...

    Is anybody able (and/or prepared!) to give an approximate area to look for the Parrot Crossbills on Budby Common? Or, for that matter, where the common is? We are a party of birders travelling from mid-Cheshire on Wednesday next. Thank-you in anticipation

    Cheshire And Wirral Birding: Hills, Lowland and Coast

    6 Whooper Swans over Parkgate this morning. They flew in from the estuary and were first noticed near Heswall, they then flew inland of Pargate towards Neston.
