Responsible Birding Diary: Monday 9.11.20
I drove up again to the Welland on this the fourth foggy morning on the trot. After a bit of a waiting, I saw the Great Northern Diver in exactly the same spot as I last saw it yesterday afternoon.

Responsible Birding Diary: Sunday 8.11.20
For the third day running there was fog on the Welland, and so the temptation to seek birds which may have got slightly lost in the haze. Things started well enough with the Great White Egret, again fishing along the river in the mist.But then I …
Responsible Birding Diary: Saturday 7.11.20
For the second day running it was a foggy start, so I was back at the Deeping High Bank (a road which follows the River Welland for a few miles). A Great White Egret was again fishing the banks of the river, and that was about the sum of the good…
Responsible Birding Diary: Friday 6.11.20
Despite moaning about a lack of time in the morning pre-work, for birding, I drove up to the Deeping High Bank this morning, as it was foggy, and fog should never be ignored (It brings some very good birds, sometimes). All I had to report was a Stone c…
Responsible Birding Diary: Thursday 5.11.20
It is hard to get any birding in outside the weekends, at the moment. There is not much time in the morning to get a decent cycle in with birdwatching, before work, despite the clocks going back. Still, I can always pop out to the garden and enjo…

Responsible Birding Diary: Wednesday 4.11.20
I popped out for a bit into the sunny but cold garden this morning. Easily the highlight was the pair of Goldcrests working their way through the trees. I have never seen more than one Goldcrest in the garden, before, and these are pretty uncommo…

Responsible Birding Diary: Tuesday 3.11.20
The most interesting thing in the garden today was a fresh scattering of Woodpigeon feathers. I think it looks like the remains of Sparrowhawk kill (which we get from time to time) and hope it isn’t a result of hunting by one of the thousands of …

Responsible Birding Diary: Monday 2.11.20
A quiet day, wildlife wise (and too windy to get up to much on my bicycle), the best I could get out of the day was watching Great Tits, Robins and Magpies enjoying the garden.

Responsible Birding Diary: Tuesday 27.10.20
Migration (at least vis mig) seems to be having a bit of break at the moment. There was very littel to show for an hour and a half on The Mound at Ferry Meadows, this morning. Just 7 Redwings and a flock of 5 Common Gulls making up the highlights…
Responsible Birding Diary: Monday 26.10.20
Today, inspired by the extra light of GMT in the morning, I was vis migging once again at Ferry Meadows (on The Mound). About 40 species were recorded, with about 10 Sky Larks, a calling Water Rail and the odd Sparrowhawk being the highlights.
Responsible Birding Diary: Sunday 25.10.20
Great Spotted Woodpecker, Holme Fen, Cambs, 25.10.20I could not resist another Holme Fen start, and explored a bit wider, encountering several Goldcrests, but again, none of the targeted Firecrest.In the evening, I went to check ou…
Responsible Birding Diary: Saturday 24.10.20
Holme Fen was my starting site again, today, with a low Marsh Harrier being the best bird seen. On the drive back home up towards Yaxley, I saw 4 Corn Buntings. Otherwise, it was a quiet day’s birding.
Responsible Birding Diary: Friday 23.10.20
Still enticed by the prospect of relocating the Holme Fen Firecrest, I was back in the morning, searching. A juvenile Hobby was a late bird, and I also had vocal Brambling and Chiffchaff, and a handful of Goldcrests. But, sadly, still no Firecrest. Lat…
Responsible Birding Diary: Thursday 22.10.20
I was back at Holme Fen from early on, and the weather was much more conducive to some birding. Highlights included a flock of 8 Crossbills over, and a pair of Ravens was displaying along the east coast main train line. I saw a single Blackcap an…
Responsible Birding Diary: Wednesday 21.10.20
Today was a real stinker weatherwise, raining all day. Yesterday, while we were in Norfolk, my friend Chris found a Firecrest at Holme Fen, not far from Peterborough, so this mornign I tried to relocated it it. All I got was very damp!
Responsible Birding Diary: Tuesday 20.10.20
My dear wife Jo and I went up to north Norfolk today, as I thought she may like to see a bluetail. Sadly, there were no bluetails showing, and neither was the Rufous Bushchat, though I did bump into an old field Dave, from my school days; he was …
Responsible Birding Diary: Monday 19.10.20
Today’s Mound vis mig session at Ferry Meadows produced a moderate count, with not much movement. The highlight, though, was elsewhere in the park at ‘Roman Point’ where there were abut 25 Lesser Redpolls.In the afternoon (I have this week off),…
Responsible Birding Diary: Sunday 18.10.20
The highlight of today’s activity was at Deeping Lakes LWT, where I investigated the couple of Pink-footed Geese which had been reported on the east pit there. It turns out that one of the geese was an adult Pinkfoot, but its companion was a juve…
Responsible Birding Diary: Saturday 17.10.20
There was not much moving at Ferry Meadows again, this morning, so I abandoned the park to search for Rock Pipits at Maxey. I always say, that 17th October is peak Rock Pipit day. I have found them on this date before, and remember the date, as i…
Responsible Birding Diary: Friday 16.10.20
There is a bit of a north-easterly wind at the moment, and this has had an odd effect on the vis mig at Ferry Meadows. Namely, the birds were mostly migrating NNE this morning! These included the first migrant Blackbirds of the autumn (9 high-fly…
Responsible Birding Diary: Thursday 15.10.20
The weather was atrocious this morning, so I skipped the usual Ferry Meadows cycle and vis mig session. Instead, my wildlife watching consisted of popping into the garden and noting some fly over Sky Larks and the sound of migrating Fieldfares. I…
Responsible Birding Diary: Wednesday 14.10.20
Again, the migration at Ferry Meadows was just on the cusp of something special which did not really spill over. I noted 89 Fieldfares, 113 Redwings, 155 Woodpigeons, 45 Starlings and 7 Lesser Redpolls. I popped into the garden for a bit and was please…
Responsible Birding Diary: Tuesday 13.10.20
Ferry Meadows ‘vis mig’ threatened to be exciting this morning, with a bit more Fieldfare action than previously, but it never really amounted to a huge movement in the hour or so I was recording. That said, I did record 40 species from The Mound, incl…
