Hi all and a happy new year (anyone sick of hearing that yet?) I was out walking this evening around the fields and ditches intertwinging Deeside Power Station, North Wales/ Cheshire, when I spotted a little bird that I just couldn't identify. Kicking myself now for not taking a camera as I got...

Not too bad as I've only actually been planned bird watching a couple of times, many of these are casual records or seen as I'm running in the fells. This is my first year of listing (in fact started during my visit to Sweden in the summer!) so haven't counted anything seen in the past such as...

Fantastic shots of the Peregrines on the RSPB webcam - two chicks completely covered in white fluff!

Was staggering home last night with a few friends from an amazing night out when I spotted a small dark shape shuffling across the road up ahead. Clearly wasn't a cat/fox or anything but was easily too small to be the badger i have seen in the area. I walked up ahead, and when I was a little...
