Birding For Fun: 107 for Staffordshire in a day
http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2012/05/107-for-staffordshire-in-day.html
Sunday, 6 May 2012. 107 for Staffordshire in a day. Well it was soon upon myself and Rich (Local Birding Local People). Branston Gravel Pits did not let us down on the duck front plus an extra wader or two. Waders seemed to be the problem all day where passerines just dropped into place the total opposite to last year. Hobby was a useful bird for the day as we failed at Whitmoor and the Moors. Little Grebe, Gadwall, and Shovler day megas. A great day and great company and a great result. Having spent the...

http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2015/04/local-birding.html
Thursday, 23 April 2015. This weeks birding revolved around the Staffordshire Moorlands. Not a great deal had changed at Tittesworth since my last visit although I did see four Barnacles which had been around a couple of weeks. The LRPs were around the conservation area whilst the Sandpiper's were favouring the reservoir. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few dam fine Blogs. Saturday 20th August 2016.

Birding For Fun: Conwy
http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2015/04/conwy.html
Thursday, 9 April 2015. A visit to Pensarn secured the long staying Iceland Gull but with the amount of people about it never landed. RSPB Conwy was poor but my niece wanted to go so I did my bit to get youngsters involved. Further into the hills produced a few great looking kites. Plenty of Chiffchaff's about and I heard my first Willow Warbler of the year. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few dam fine Blogs. Saturday 20th August 2016. Belvide 18.8.16 Fair E 2.

Birding For Fun: West Moors
http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2015/03/west-moors.html
Saturday, 28 March 2015. I spent a couple of hours on the North Staffs Moorlands today. I had my youngest in tow so it wasn't anything serious. A lone Peregrine was Knocking around but apparently there were 3 half an hour before I arrived. I didnt see any Wheatears despite a good look. Around the Flash there was a large flock of Golden Plover bearing black belly's that means Summer is coming. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few dam fine Blogs. Saturday 20th August 2016.

Birding For Fun: Worlds End & Inner Marsh Farm
http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2011/03/worlds-end-inner-marsh-farm.html
Saturday, 19 March 2011. Worlds End and Inner Marsh Farm. Bill mentioned they were heading Worlds End again and did I fancy tagging along. Of course I couldn't refuse with my slight obsession with moorland. Again we managed close views of Black Grouse although we were all stuck in the car so pic couldn't be taken of the 2 males proving who was the better. Further down the valley 9 more were lecking.

Saturday, 21 May 2011. North Staffs and Carsington. As dawn broke I was at Tittersworth but a low mist prevented great views of anything. Whimbrel was close enough for the gloom not to affect it. I decided hit Gun Hill plenty of chorus around the best being a Tree Pipit. A few warblers present but only the normal species ie Garden Warbler, Blackcap and Willow. Back again at Tittersworth much better by the time the sun h. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A few dam fine Blogs. Saturday 20th August 2016.

http://birding4fun.blogspot.com/2015/04/ouzel-city_17.html
Friday, 17 April 2015. With a busy weekend ahead of me I got up at dawn today and headed to Tittesworth. I didn't linger too long as I was heading up the moor. A male Shoveler was at the far end of the conservation pool and 2 Common Sandpipers were in the margins. A Single LRP was roosting on the pontoon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, 8 May 2011. I had a weekend in finest Norfolk the plan was just to enjoy my birding and not run around if the phone signaled megas. I arrived at Titchwell. An hour after dawn with very few birders about infact. I had one part of the hide to myself. A good start to the trip with many common warblers and plenty to look at on the scrape. A lovely Little Stint in summer dress cam. Close and was probably bird of the reserve for myself. All three terns were present Common Sandw. A place I love especialy.
