Ashley's Birding Blog: February 2009
http://the3birdersdiary.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 February 2009. Fawley and Keyhaven Marshes. I can't believe I dipped it again. The Red-crested Pochard was reported 30 minutes before I got there, yet no sign on arrival at Badminston Gravel Pit, neither on any of the nearby lakes. I was about to leave the area to move onto Keyhaven, when I had a hunch to go back to Badminston and view the pig field from a different angle. And what a relief! There sat in a big puddle amongst Gulls was the Red-crested Pochard, yaaayyyy, about bloody time! Anothe...

Friday, 17 September 2010. I must admit I have been pretty useless at updating this blog and keeping up with my birding exploits, so I have decided to move.

Tuesday, 30 September 2008. Mainland Shetland; Day 4. Eventually got close enough for some decent shots (c) Ashley Howe. Over towards the farm there was a Grey Wagtail, more Pied Fly, Blackcapetc. And a Barred Warbler which showed very well feeding in the sycamores. Although always looking up at this Barred Warbler, it remained out in the open for ages feeding, some other shots show it, flicking off the Aphids (c) Ashley Howe. Monday, 29 September 2008. Mainland Shetland; Day 3. Sunday, 28 September 2008.

Ashley's Birding Blog: Fawley, Pennington & Hurst
http://the3birdersdiary.blogspot.com/2009/02/fawley-pennington-hurst.html
Thursday, 5 February 2009. Fawley, Pennington and Hurst. What a fine start to the day today was, no sign of the Red-crested Pochard at Badminston Gravel Pits, though I think we had sussed out the right pit. Whipping out the local map we visited a few potential site that the bird could have gone to without any success, with nothing else worth mentioning. Looks like we got it just in time in Hants before it headed East with the Brents to West Wittering © Ashley Howe. Little Egret by the car (c) Ashley Howe.

I was walking with a chap called John while Steve spoke to this guy with his family. Heading accidentally in seperate ways. John and myself got the juv Red-backed Shrike no problem. Then going to find the others round by Big Pool where i noted a Wryneck flying up from the beach near Big Pool towards the 'fruit cage' area. St Mary's: Day 3.

I took a well earnt Sunday off from work which allowed Emma and myself to do more glorious birding in Hampshire, well it could have been if it had stopped pissing it down.
