    Dubai, June

    Hi all, I’ve got a short work trip to Dubai in June. Apart from staying indoors because it’s too hot, anyone got any advice on what I should look out for? I went about three years ago (in March, I think) and all I remember is Mynahs and Sparrows. Don’t know if I’ll get any chance to explore, but...

    Slovenia in Late May

    Hello Everyone! This is one of what I am forced to confess are my ever more fleeting visits to BirdForum, but I know the mine of information here and I'd like to take advantage, if you'd be kind enough to oblige. It's been four years since my last visit to Slovenia - too long away - but I've...

    Costa Rica, April 2012

    Well, it’s taken me a little while to make good on my promise/threat, but here is a birdy review of our holiday in Costa Rica in April this year. Our holiday wasn’t a specialist birding tour, but if you have birder’s eyes, you can’t help but see – and in my case, struggle to identify. So armed...

    Costa Rica guidebook

    Hello peeps... Long time no post, but I'm still around and I haven't forgotten the seemingly bottomless experience that is BF. Simple request if you don't mind. I've managed to budget in a holiday to Costa Rica next April - not a birding trip, but I'll have my eyes and binocs! Would like...

    Excel Genius required.... Making cells NULL for charts.

    Hi all... Nothing to do with birding, so I hope no-one minds me asking, but I need some Excel help if there is a genius or two out there. MS Help is pants, and I have done a search all over the Internet on various Excel Forums, but the respondants never seem to quite "get" the question that...

    Slovenia Birding

    Hi all... One of my infrequent visits to BF, and I come in search of of help and advice. I'm thrilled to bits to say we are going back to Slovenia for a couple of weeks in May. Regulars perhaps know I have been before and seen some good birds, but I am after some help to find somewhere...

    Wishmoor/Swinley Forest (Sat 02 Jun 07)

    It’s a couple of years since I last had the opportunity to visit Wishmoor. My previous visit had been one of my best birding days ever, in spite of the fact that by early afternoon the temperature was nudging 37 degrees! This time the mercury levelled at a slightly more temperate 25 degrees...

    Sandefjord, Vestfold info wanted

    Hi all, It looks like I might get a trip out to Head Office for a couple of days or so at the end of this month. I've been once before, in the winter, and so I know that Sandefjord town looks out over Sandefjord Fjord. Is there enough birding interest within walking distance of the Rica...

    The perennial "Willowchiff" question!

    Hi Folks, I hope someone can help. This morning saw our first warbler visit to the garden of this year, and of course, as usual, I am struggling to decide which of the usual suspects it was. I've had a look at the excellent ID Q&A (First time I've seen that... great job, Jane!) and I've...

    GSWoodpeckers

    Just thought I'd pop in and tell you all about our Woodies. We had either 2 or 3 garden visits (I guess passing through) in the three years or so up to a fortnight ago... So we were nicely chuffed when another "passerby" dropped in a couple of weeks ago... except, he seems to be visiting us...

    Willow Tit back

    I'm pleased to report that for the first time in a good few weeks (months? - I need to check!) our Willow Tit has returned. Of course, I can't tell if it is actually the same one, but whether it is or isn't, it's brought a friend! :bounce:

    If you have the time and the inclination, I'd be flattered if you would take a look at some of my latest bird days here. If you want to leave any comments, you can do so there or in this thread. Thanks! :t:

    Gadget info required...

    I’d love to be able to splash out on a big fat iPaq complete with Collins e-guide and all the whistles and bells, but I can neither justify nor afford one. :-C But what I could really do with instead, if the price is right, is a handheld that will support Excel spreadsheets, with a view to...

    March Hares

    OK... so they're a day late - must've forgot to turn their calendar or something - but I saw three Hares on the way to work this morning. :t: PS. I didn't know hares went to work! PPS. I wonder if I use that line every year?!?!?!?

    Is everybody getting Siskins?

    Just added a short post to the "What's been in your garden today?" thread, as we have recently had our first ever Siskins. My garden backs on to my local patch - quite a large area of mixed habitat - and yet I've never seen Siskins there, never mind on the feeders. I've noticed I'm not the...

    Spring is sprung...

    OK... not quite, but the signs are that it's on its way here in Northern Climes. After my recent singing Skylark, yesterday (and today) I have seen my firstly fully hooded Black-headed Gulls of the seaon, and "our" Willow Tit has returned to the garden after a winter break. What are the...

    Gigrin Kites

    Took my sister and daughter to the Kite Station at Gigrin Farm (Rhayader) on Saturday. Whilst central England was shrouded in fog, the skies cleared at the Border Control (OK... road works) on the Herefordshire-Powys frontier, and Mid Wales was for the most bathed in beautiful winter...

    Loch Ussie

    Does anyone have any info about birding around Loch Ussie (near Dingwall) mid-March. I know about the Firths and Sea Lochs in the area, I'm thinking of inland. Thanks :t:

    Skylark

    Probably posted a similar thread this time last year. There's quite a few good things about where I live, but one of the best is backing on to the fields where the Skylarks live. Didn't see it myself (working!!!) but my good lady saw and heard the first singing skylark of the year...
