Ring Ouzels at Cat and Fiddle 20th May 2014 After our morning at Goyt Valley with the birding group our small select group of “lunchers” stopped off for some lunch at the Cat and Fiddle – it only had one beer on pump and one in bottle.

Birding Group Visit to the Upper Goyt Valley 20th May 2014
Birding Group Visit to the Upper Goyt Valley 20th May 2014 We had been to Macclesfield Forest, which is quite close by, two weeks previously and not seen a great deal. This visit to the area was an entirely different kettle of fish. We parked up at the second car park near the southern end of Errwood Reservoir and crossed the road to the reservoir…

Our Dunnock sings from 4.30am onwards pretty much all day. We have had three Goldfinches at most which is a terrible decline from previous years but we at least saw a pair of Greenfinches on one…

Keyhaven : 1st May 2014
Keyhaven : 1st May 2014 Our last day in the New Forest was given over to a visit to the coast to get some birds we had not seen yet. Our first port of call was Keyhaven where we checked out the times of the ferry to Hurst Castle which is at the end of the long shingle spit. The answer was that after 1st…

Bolderwood, Fritham and Beaulieu Road : 30th April 2014
Bolderwood, Fritham and Beaulieu Road Station: 30th April 2014 We started early (for us) again this morning and were on our way by 8am. We drove up to Bolderwood and parked in the car park there before taking the path down to the cottage, crossing over the road and taking one of the paths that eventually comes out at the Canada Monument. From there we…
