    Birding and football

    Portsmouth Season Ticket holder for 37 years, saw my first game in 1975 at home to a then relegated Manchester United (0-0) and yes as to your theory I was born in Portsmouth.

    What was your 19th Corvid on your life list?

    And I must be equally sad, because I went and checked...…………….only 17 Corvus species, so my 19th Corvida would be Australian Raven seen in Sydney on 31 October 2010. Ian

    Birding halfway up the Alps

    ABA Big Year 2019

    There is a further update on John's blog, it seems that the number will be reduced by one as his only Black Rosy-finch transpired (whilst he was reviewing his photographs) to be a very dark Gray-crowned Rosy-finch - Ouch !!

    RFI: Standard-winged and Pennant-winged Nightjars

    Pennant-winged are viewable in the Northern part of Kruger, but most lose their "wings" by mid-December. Completely agree as one of the most amazing birds ever seen. You need local guides to see the birds as known locations where they display are not accessible for "tourists". Ian
