Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. The last month in Australia has been phenomenal! The ecology, flora and fauna are all entirely new to me, and I'm endlessly learning new things on my travels. Since then I've been to Fraser Island, Kingaroy and the Bunya mountains with Mum and Wayne (her friend). The Bunya's were my first taste of a rainforest and quite incredible. Since then I've been working my way north, travell...

WelshLassy - Birding Blog: April 2014

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Thursday, 24 April 2014. Easter bunny has been busy. Last year I monitored Pied Flycatchers at Aber. This species is very helpful by using nestboxes, which have kindly been provided for them for many years by Geoff Gibbs. Compared with our previous visit at the start of April, where we did some repairs to the boxes and checked them all for any early nest building, the woods were a lot quieter. The relative l...

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Sunday, 20 April 2014. AFON and BTO Young Birders Workshop. When I heard about the Young Birders Workshop, I knew I had to attend! It was held at the BTO head office in Thetford, which is a LONG way from Bangor! I hate Sat Nav, so was quite happy to be playing navigator. We arrived about 9am, which gave us some time to network before the event started. I was busy chatting to Peter about AFON when I got sligh...

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Monday, 26 May 2014. Sweden. Part 1. I’ve been on Öland for almost a month now, and I don’t know where to begin! I’ve been kept pre-occupied with birds, birds and birds (and maybe a snake or moose hunt! So I guess blog writing has taken a back seat. Ryd, our local site. Great pond for dragonflies and amphibians! So, what am I doing here? My first Collared Flycatcher! It’s very difficult sometimes to stay f...

The last SCAN weekend of the 13/14 season didn't get off to a great start.

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Wednesday, 22 January 2014. 2013 Ringing Review (part 1). Well, this is my first blog! There are many reasons for why I've decided to start keeping a blog, but the main one is to keep track of my birding and share it with other interested parties. So, here's a rundown of my bird ringing highlights of 2013:. Total birds ringed - 777. Total species ringed - 50. Ringing sessions attended - 23. With a little help, w...

Ros Green - Gingernut Birder. My adventures into the ornithological / zoological world and more. Monday, 25 August 2014. End of Skomer contract, Graduation and other things. Again, apologies for not blogging recently. It's been a very busy month and a half. And this, coupled with slow internet, has put blog writing pretty low on my list of priorities. Things have calmed down somewhat now though, so time for an update. July was mainly about seabird chicks. I managed to find 60 chicks. On many days I had s...

My Shetland Bird List. Saturday, 31 January 2015. BGB - Helping out on the Patch. As part of the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch, RSPB Shetland decided to host a ID course/hide making at Helendale House, Westerloch on Sunday the 25th. I was asked to help out so I came along at 1035 and a few of the volunteers were already there. Though, due to the weather, it was a poor turnout. After about 30 minutes I went birding to the Loch with Louis, there was a few birds around, 4 Gadwall, a Teal and a Fieldfare. Though...
