There's no F in Larid: News and Notes
http://nofinlarid.blogspot.com/p/news-and-notes.html
If it could be any rougher or less professional than the home-page then this will probably be it! But it's taking me so long to complete the main posts the more current stuff will sit gathering dust without trying this. 1/4/2015 Hayle estuary. Mass clear-out of Lesser Black-backed Gulls L.f. graellsii. Since 30/3 (possibly the 100s coasting S.W. past Pendeen Watch yesterday). Only birds of note- long-staying 2nd cal.year michahellis. However, although the bird looked good structurally for atlantis.

Wednesday, 8 April 2015. Sorry folks- this is just a brief note to state the bleedin' obvious- I still don't know how this blog-lark works!

I will try to only post when material is finished from now on- sorry for any inconvenience! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Last Resort Bird Art. A work/birding trip to the SW.

Wednesday, 25 March 2015. Here we go then! I will be trying to keep most of this current, but as I don't expect too much day-to-day excitement in Cornwall the bulk of this will be gull-related based on "highlights" from days of old- starting with an over-view of the last 3 months gulling on the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall. I might even get proficient enough to create other pages or photo galleries according to my tame nerd (daughter! Hayle Estuary gulls, 23/1/15- 20/3/15. Common Gull L.canus- max flock 45.

Sunday, 29 March 2015. The "following" I now realise is shortly going to be the preceeding, so forgive the schoolboy error and remember when I say " see below" it will eventually mean "see above"! American Herring Gull L.smithsonianus. Upper tail coverts and single generation upper-wing coverts. 2nd w smithsonianus (lower mid.) Jericho farm .20/3/2015.

There's no F in Larid: Hudsonian Godwit artwork
http://nofinlarid.blogspot.com/2015/05/hudsonian-godwit-artwork.html
Friday, 15 May 2015. This is just a brief, temporary and (hopefully) commercial link to encourage folks to visit my other blog- "Last Resort Bird Art". The "sketch" shown is the first piece I've come close to finishing of the Godwit so far, but I hope to produce "free-er" colour work in oil of the bird in flight shortly. I will post a brief link if and when this occurs! Hudsonian and Black-tailed Godwits,. Detail of (unfinished) pencil and chalk original. 19 October 2015 at 11:15. Last Resort Bird Art.

There's no F in Larid: April 2015
http://nofinlarid.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 April 2015. The (annoyingly) "classic" Jericho bird was still taking advantage of the dumped shellfish waste on Friday the 11th, and still managing to be almost impossible to photograph thanks to cr*p light, feeding behind a wall, and the whole site being too exposed to allow closer approach without detection by the gulls or the local Purple-faces! Presumably Mush is still camped out by the side of the road and will eventually release his far better images. I will allow that it isn't really wi...

There's no F in Larid: Probable Azorean Yellow-legged Gull
http://nofinlarid.blogspot.com/2015/05/probable-azorean-yellow-legged-gull.html
Sunday, 10 May 2015. Probable Azorean Yellow-legged Gull. This is just a brief description of the Stanwick, Northants bird first seen by Steve Fisher (aka stanwicktramp) on the main lake on the evening of the 8th May'15. Steve only had brief views and was left wondering if the bird was just an "odd argentatus" but was sufficiently worried to try harder than usual to get me to Stanwick to see if it returned on the 9th. Prob 2w-2s L.(m.)atlantis (rear centre) and displaying 2s (presumed-see below) ...Prob ...
