Last Sunday saw an (increasingly rare) opportunity to go birdwatching, albeit locally. I was at Priory Drive by about 8:00 and spotted a beige tit that did not sound at all like a Coal Tit. I have since been trawling Xeno Canto and have found a similar call for Marsh Tit (from Germany, 3rd page as I write). It was certainly showy for a Coal Tit. Bins were still my bag when it went for good. This would be some record, but has to go down as one that got away, or a case of morning over-enthusiasm....

Up before the crack of dawn, a heavily raining B/H Monday saw a failed attempt at a Boot Sale, a morning spent dodging the rain at Rainham and then a spur of the moment stop on the return journey.
I NEVER twitch I tell you, NEVER!
It's just that I knew this field so well I just had to stop there on the way home. All Rainham had produced was a migrant Tree Pipit that might well turn out to be a Meadow Pipit, some Linnets, and several common waders and wildfowl. Not enough for that...

A blog for the snippets of video footage I come across when researching birds and birding.
I'm not sure how to split this into categories, so I imagine I will re-write often and then be told I am only allowed 5 links or something.

Occasionally a post on WAB will tickle me. So I'm adding a collection here, if I may. Life's just too short not to have a laugh occasionally.

"Arrrrggghhhh" I thought to myself "I need to release my mind from hospital visit imprisonment". To make things worse there was no volunteering today because the visit had to be in the morning.
"Sod it" I thought to myself after effectively telling a WAB member to build a pond "I'm going to do something for the froglets if and when they emerge".
The aim was to make a damp patch in the dry habitat around the pond as a froglet...
