RSPB Minsmere 30th April 2019

NWT Weeting Heath and RSPB Lakenheath Fen 28th April 2019
The weather this day was much better than the previous day when we had done so poorly at NWT Weeting Heath and RSPB Lakenheath Fen. In fact it turned out to be a really good day with forty-one species seen including three good year ticks – Garganey, Grasshopper Warbler and Stone Curlew

NWT Weeting Heath, RSPB Lakenheath Fen and BTO Nunnery Lakes 27th April 2019
The 27th April saw us visit an ununsual combination of reserves – unusual because all three were run by different ornithological conservation groups, the Norfolk Wildlife Trust reserve at Weeting Heath, the RSPB reserve at nearby Lakenheath Fen and also the only reserve run by the British Trust for Ornithology, Nunnery Lakes. The weather was very poor, however, with high winds that rather spoiled our…

Birding Group Visit To Moore Nature Reserve 16th April 2019
The birding group had a morning at Moore Nature Reserve followed by a lunchtime planning session for the next “term”. Although it was a relatively short morning we did manage to get some good birds with “year tick” Goldcrests and plenty of Treecreepers and Nuthatches. No Lesser SPotted Woodpeckers, though, just GSW and a heard Green Woodpecker. The highlight of the day was actually at…

The Wirral 15th April 2019
Bird Sightings Leosowe Lighthouse 15th April 2019 We had a solo day out on the Wirral on the 15th, starting out looking for migrants at Leosowe Lighthouse. Unfortunately the wind was so strong that all the dust was blowing up from the car park and made hard work of my contact lenses. We tried to get away from it and so ended up down by…
