Sibe2 | Birding over my head
https://birdingovermyhead.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/sibe2
Birding over my head. Look up, see more stuff. Best of the rest of the recycled highlights. January 11, 2013. I was browsing recent Berksbirds photos. Last night and noticed this striking fellow. In a picture taken by Linda Garner-Langham at the west end of Sandford Lake. Fraser Cottington has confirmed that the bird is still present today, and is looking good for Dinton CP’s first. Landlocked birder with limited horizons, usually not looking at them. View all posts by PaulBT →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Garden | Birding over my head
https://birdingovermyhead.wordpress.com/garden
Birding over my head. Look up, see more stuff. Birding Over My Head pays a lot of attention to my garden, since that’s where I do a substantial amount of my birding. So here’s some more information about the garden and its surroundings. No need for the zoom. Birding is occasionally done, even deliberately, from the front garden; it has a lawn and a mature rowan tree, which attracts thrushes, Starlings, and even Waxwings. The brook after heavy rain. The marsh soon after dawn. Some distance to the W there ...

A History of RAF Saxa Vord: 22 December 2009
http://ahistoryofrafsaxavord.blogspot.com/2009_12_22_archive.html
A History of RAF Saxa Vord. Tuesday, 22 December 2009. Radar Equipment at the Top Site (updated 1 Sep 10, 27 Jan 11 and Aug 13). During the lifetime of the unit the radars experienced a number of significant “events” due to the local weather. I intend to write separate sections on this aspect of operations at a later date. When the station became operational in 1957 it was equipped with a Type 80 Search Radar, a Type 14 as a standby Search Radar and a Type 13 Height finding Radar. Type 80 - search radar.

Robbie's Northern Exposures: April 2013
http://robbiesnorthernexposures.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wildlife, Images and Blog from 60 degrees North and the Island of Unst. Tuesday, 30 April 2013. Off Island' - pt 1. I had a few hours 'spare' this morning (17th April) so decided to take a look at the blog and do an update. Checking the date I discovered that I've now been away from home for 3 weeks and what a busy three weeks it has been. Which is always a hit with all of us, more of that later, we also went to Marwell Zoo which has so much there one day doesn't do it justice. We left in plenty of time ...

The 1st visit this year was on 19th Feb and already there were lots of birds on the cliffs; that said, I took a visit a week later and some areas were devoid of birds. The Neap 19th Feb 2014. Returning again around a week later, there was a lot more activity and this was to only increase as the weeks went by. Looking north towards Clingra Stack (centre top). Gannets over 'The Greing'.

Robbie's Northern Exposures: June 2013
http://robbiesnorthernexposures.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Wildlife, Images and Blog from 60 degrees North and the Island of Unst. Monday, 17 June 2013. On the 5th May, my first Arctic Tern of the year returned to the shore at Ordaal and was a really welcome sight and gave the feeling that spring had finally returned. For a few days after the 7th, we had up to four Tree Sparrows in the garden daily - which made a nice change to the ever present House Sparrows. Common Sandpiper at Skaw. Grey-headed Wagtail at Skaw. Marsh Warbler at Skaw. Probably the best Spring ...

Wildlife, Images and Blog from 60 degrees North and the Island of Unst. Sunday, 11 May 2014. Our Easter holiday this year was going to be a return trip to North Zealand, Denmark to the farm owned by Catriona's step-sister, Selma. It's been around ten years since I last visited and were going to stay there for almost two weeks from the end of March. Close to the rear port side of the ship. And its Viking museum, Legoland and Tivoli Gardens amongst others. Below are a few pictures from our trips out. In 20...
