A few weeks back I joined the Essex Amphibian and Reptile Group on a survey of ponds in the Weald Country Park near Brentwood. Led again by the awesome Graham Hart we met at 19:00 to lay down transects of traps at one location before making our way to another to survey the sides of the pond by torch. A… Continue reading Weald Amphibian Survey

I finally managed to get up to the seabird sites of North Yorkshire in May, over 25 years since my last visit. Perhaps a few metres less to see thanks to coastal erosion 😉 but was great to be back. We started at Bempton Cliffs where thralls of gannets, razorbills, kittiwakes and guillemots clung to the sides in a gravity… Continue reading North Yorkshire Cliffs

Another business trip with the brick company took me to Shanghai recently. Luckily, I managed to get away for a few hours on my first and last day, and I decided to concentrate on Century Park. Craig from Shanghai Birding very kindly recommended the spot for visits on limited timescales as you can typically see between 20-30 species in a… Continue reading Shanghai, China – June 2019

Catskill farmstead. My wife and I enjoy traveling. Planning for travel sometimes takes longer than the trips themselves. We prioritize the places we want to see, activities we want to do, and connect with any friends we can visit along the way. We leave plenty of room for flexibility. Spontaneity spices up every trip. We also try to include some… Continue reading Sensing a bit of home wherever we go

I thought the scenery couldn’t get any better than this. I was wrong. Over the years, my wife and I have found one travel tip to be uniquely useful. As much as you plan, leave room for spontaneity. We didn’t read that any place. We learned it when traveling with our parents. Both families tended to go in the same… Continue reading Spontaneity spices up every trip

Monday’s almost over? Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Kapok Park. May 6, 2019. I’ve been buried in a book all day, researching a new subject, and somehow it’s four o’clock. How’d that happen? Guess that’s what’s known as FOCUS. Eye of the night heron, baby. (Or something like that . . .) Continue reading Say what?!

Any air travel can be exhausting. Discomfort, unseen danger, turbulent weather, strange places and faces, unpredictable food quality. Even if you never have to check luggage or go through security shoeless. Even if you have no shoes. Exhausting. Especially if you have to flap your wings all the way…This guy had winitered in South America and was recently returned to Malheur…a… Continue reading AFTER A LONG FLIGHT…

One of the most exciting moments for spring birders at Malheur: your first annual sighting of Bobolinks. In May we missed them entirely. This population in Harney County may be the most westerly breeding Bobolink population on earth. So we made them a priority on our first day of the June trip. And at P Ranch they showed off and taught… Continue reading BOB’S YOUR UNCLE
