    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

    Haven't seen hawfinch for a few years - Not familiar with the flight call, but have familiarised myself with it using Xenocanto

    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?

    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...

    Sedgley Beacon

    Having looked again at the second photo, were these 'designed' by the quarry workers deliberately to leave their mark? Using the natural faulting of the limestone to create the features which would subsequently weather. Possibly they were inspired by Mount Rushmore? Sedgley Birder

    Wednesday 5th August 2015 Nice and bright with a light S-SW wind. Early morning visit (06.30-08.30) to check for returning migrants. 2-3 each of Green Woody and Jay being very vocal and a couple of Chiffies in sub-song. The main activity was in the valley within the quarry area which catches...

    Steve, You can post up to five pics per post. You just follow the same procedure for each pic. i.e manage attachments, browse, select and upload. If you have the software you can create a collage of pics, but they will appear smaller, so I recommend keeping them as singles and posting five. Hope...
