Little Owl I read through a tweet by my good Birdwatcher friend Neil the whereabouts of a Little Owl south of Warehorne on the Romney Marshes. As I had to pop down to the RSPB Shop at Dungeness I detoured around the Marshes and was lucky enough to get a good pose whilst the beautiful […]

With the weather being cold one day, mild the next, wet the next and windy the next, the Birds seem to be in a constant state, maybe like us humans, in constant confusion as to if it’s December or Spring ! Caspian Gull RSPB Dungeness The main Reserve area was very active with Waders and […]

It’s always good indication that winter is upon us when the Fieldfares along with their pals the Redwings return, always about the same time, 10th – 15th. November. This year is no exception, it started with a trickle around the 8th and has now built up to more than 200 who jump from tree to […]

Yellow Wagtails I’d heard the Yellow Wagtails had returned for the warmer months a few days back and knowing how they tend to mix on Cattle grazing pasture to begin with, made the trip down to Scotney Farm, just outside Lydd, with a view of getting some easier photos than in Summer when they tend […]

RSPB Dungeness With showers due mid afternoon, I ventured off to Dungeness in hope I would, for the first time, be lucky to catch the two Long Eared Owls which have frequented the Dipping Pool at RSPB Dungeness on or off for the last few weeks. About this time last year I was lucky enough […]

As with any great birdwatching place, Dungeness can often be a little hit and miss and today, for me anyway, was one of those days. I started off at RSPB in hope of getting a photograph of the now two Long Eared Owls. Needless to say, not even one was there! Rather than doing my […]

My first proper day out of the year and indeed, for two weeks so it was off to RSPB Dungeness on a sunny bright morning all be it only barely above freezing at 9am. Male Bearded Tit Female Bearded Tit It’s strange, I’d been hoping to photograph Bearded Tits for over a year, I’d go […]

Regular readers will know I’ve been trying to get a photo of a Bearded Tit for about a year. I managed a Female at Minsmere last month but the male has escaped me. Last Friday, Bingo !! Looking at the forecast it was the one day in about 10 where there was to be sunshine […]
