Day 4 – Coal Tit
Originally posted on A Species a Day:
The cold’s not going away yet, feel as bad today as yesterday so no venturing into the countryside for me alas. Thought I’d explain the names of the species before today’s entry. So on Day 1 we had Woodpigeon Columba palumbus Linnaeus, 1758 and on Day 2 we had Groundsel Senecio vulgaris L. (I’ve admitted the subspecies name… Continue reading Day 4 – Coal Tit
Day 1 – Woodpigeon

Today was supposed to be a start with great intentions. Unfortunately New Year’s Eve put paid to it. Not through drink but rather I currently work behind a bar that didn’t close until 02:00am, I didn’t get home until 02:45 so I got up far too late for my intended New Year’s Day walk which would have been… Continue reading Day 1 – Woodpigeon
Day 7 – Black-headed Gull

Day 7! A whole week’s worth of daily posts. Getting easier to remember to do it but I suspect it will get harder to think what to write about; guess that’s the challenge really. It’s all for me really, all about me actually writing things down so I can discipline myself to write regularly, and you get to… Continue reading Day 7 – Black-headed Gull
Day 27 – Great Crested Grebe

Another ‘great’ bird. I think this last week will be mostly about the birds; they’re my specialist area and gives a nice run up to until Friday, my last post of the month. This one is from my local patch again. There wasn’t too many birds around today, nothing unusual or great in number; probably due to contractors… Continue reading Day 27 – Great Crested Grebe
Day 28 – Tufted Titmouse

Something a little different today as it’s a species I’ve never seen in the flesh and wasn’t aware of its existence until today! I’ve been watching a few YouTube webcams of bird feeders in America and had no idea what birds were frequenting them which hadn’t bothered me as I quite like the idea of not knowing things… Continue reading Day 28 – Tufted Titmouse
1-25.12.2019: The case of the disappearing winter
Originally posted on Košice Patch Birding:
Winter apparently arrived at the beginning of December but then mysteriously vanished shortly afterwards. As you can see from the goldfinch photo above, it looks and feels more like autumn than anything else right now. But the short spell of wintry weather did bring an expected winter visitor; one of two bramblings seen only during that cold weekend,… Continue reading 1-25.12.2019: The case of the disappearing winter
Review of 2019
Originally posted on Košice Patch Birding:
On the basis of the year list, it might seem that 2019 was something of a disappointing year; the 93 species spotted is the lowest figure since 2017. However, I think it is in fact the case that this has been my most rewarding year since I started birding. Quality rather than quantity is the real story of… Continue reading Review of 2019
1-26.1.2020: January delights
Originally posted on Košice Patch Birding:
Still no sign of snow as the end of January approaches. Nothing more than a chilling foggy dampness with occasional freezes this winter; it’s very strange and somehow much less comfortable than if there was deep snow and sub-zero temperatures. Because of this uncomfortable weather, I was on the patch less often than I could have been; nonetheless… Continue reading 1-26.1.2020: January delights
