Of Pies and Birds: 9th August. Birding Frontiers Challenge Series Autumn

http://ofpiesandbirds.blogspot.com/2014/08/9th-august-birding-frontiers-challenge.html

9th August. Birding Frontiers Challenge Series Autumn. It’s not often that I buy books unless it’s something that grabs my eye, something that is a little different from the norm and Martin Garner’s new challenge series of books is exactly that. There is little in the way of identification guides these days, though recently the old birder’s (I think I probably fall into that cate. Presumably Martin intends this series to cover the four seasons and presumably four books? Though given the huge spectrum of ...

Of Pies and Birds: July 2014

http://ofpiesandbirds.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

31st July Best of the rest from Spain. In a shameless attempt to boost the blog ratings further I've dug out the remaining photos from our recent trip to Extremadura. Enjoy or just click the little cross in the top right corner. Blue Rock Thrush Castillo de Monfrague. Woodchat Shrike. One of the very common roadside birds. Evenings on the Santa Marta Plains were better for Great Bustards with up to 15 on one evening. A visit to Trujillo's old bull ring is always a highlight for the Lesser Kestrels. The K...

Of Pies and Birds: 25th January 2014. The Pie To End All Pies

http://ofpiesandbirds.blogspot.com/2014/01/25th-january-2014-pie-to-end-all-pies.html

25th January 2014. The Pie To End All Pies. As a child the highlight of my Saturday would be a quarter share of a freshly baked pork pie - bought from the local shop and more often than not still warm. Unfortunately the baker, Coopers of Rotherham, went into liquidation sometime in the mid-1980s, but my love for pork pie was born. Followed by the most delicious black pudding it was a true northern delicacy, even if it was a little calorific. 25 February 2014 at 13:20. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Of Pies and Birds: May 2014

http://ofpiesandbirds.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

26th May. I'm Still Here. If there's anyone still out there, and after a four month absence why would there be, then hello I'm still here. Blogging hasn't come easily this year, and eight hours a day sat in front of a computer kinda makes you start to hate the thing by the end of the day. Combined with the early (pre-work) starts on the patch I really am too knackered by the evening and like most zombies of the 21st Century I watch shit TV and look at videos of cats on the Internet. On it still resides.

Of Pies and Birds: 4th June. Sierra de Gredos

http://ofpiesandbirds.blogspot.com/2014/07/4th-june-sierra-de-gredos.html

4th June. Sierra de Gredos. We spent the remainder of our trip mostly covering old ground but on the 4th decided to head north to the Sierra de Gredos mountains if nothing else we would at least escape the increasing heat the day. The optimistic two hours predicted by the stupid woman in the Sat Nav turned into about three and half and with hindsight it would make more sense to do this area for a couple of days either en-route to or from Trujillo. A nice Water Pipit by the stream and numerous Dunnocks - ...
