organicbirder: June 2015
http://organicbirder.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. I had a delivery of our top quality organic veg and fruit to do in Southampton today which was handy as a Monarch. Butterfly was reported from Lordswood Road mid-morning. I stopped off on the way to the delivery but no sign although there was a Silver-Washed Fritillary. In amongst the many Meadow Browns. Back again after the delivery and it appeared my luck was out as I'd just missed the Monarch. On arrival again no sign! Earlier in the day, hmm.worth a look anyway I thought. Annoy...

Monday, 22 September 2014. Not much at all yesterday but here's one of the Hayling Red-Backed Shrike. Saturday, 20 September 2014. Spent most of this week outside work time (and child care! Trying to get a shot of the Dartford. At Hayling and.failed. So here's some other stuff instead:. Sunday, 14 September 2014. I'll start with the star bird today which was a Wryneck. And for a change it actually was, keeping close company with the Starling. At North Walls, still the lovely Curlew Sandpipers. Another lo...

http://organicbirder.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 January 2015. Although I hadn't planned to, dropped in at Coldwaltham sewage works on the way back from Rackham today to find the two Siberian Chiffchaffs. Showing well with six Chiffchaffs. And a party of Long-Tailed Tits. At Rackham, a Marsh Tit. Were the highlights whilst a 2015 Sussex Lesser Pecker still shuns me! Sunday, 25 January 2015. Was distantly present at Chichester Marina today with 20 Little Grebes. And a Great-Crested Grebe. This was the best I could do pic-wise:. Were on the wi...

organicbirder: Spotted Flycatchers at Oving & Church Norton
http://organicbirder.blogspot.com/2015/08/it-was-childcare-for-me-all-saturday.html
Monday, 17 August 2015. Spotted Flycatchers at Oving and Church Norton. It was childcare for me all Saturday but some diversion was provided by two Spotted Flycatchers. In the garden in Oving. I was called "jammy" for this.better not mention the two Pied Flycatchers. A shout from HR on Facebook and a zoom down to Climping on Saturday night got me Long-Eared. L in flight and Short-Eared Owl. And a rather baffled youth in a Saxo wondering what all the people were doing in the area. The deal's off pal!

organicbirder: December 2014
http://organicbirder.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 December 2014. Took Dad up to the Ferry Pool at Sidlesham this morning for the Tundra Bean Goose. Which obliged, albeit fairly distantly at the back by the 12-bar gate. It was a lifer for him though I reckon he might just have forgotten that he saw a few around Rye in the 50s! Incidentally, whilst we were there news broke of a Little Bustard. At East Guldeford who Dad used to play football for back in the day). At Chainbridge, a few Stonechats. And a bright yellow Chiffchaff. It would appear ...

Saturday, 29 November 2014. Two plus Short Eared Owls. At Barnham this evening. Previously, a Black Redstart. At East Head, Wittering. Friday, 28 November 2014. No wonder the Little Owl. Consolation was a flighty Hawfinch. In the trees on the sharp bend near Yew Tree Cottage but apart from that fairly quiet if you see what I mean. Monday, 24 November 2014. Record shot below not great but I'm a happy birder tonight as it was a great improvement on views in dismal light! Sunday, 23 November 2014. On Ibsley...

organicbirder: February 2015
http://organicbirder.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 February 2015. Was seen in a few different areas of Old Lodge on Friday which shows how mobile the Reed Bunting. Flock is that it is part of. May have caught up with it at 15:30 when I inadvertently spooked the flock into a Scots Pine by coughing but distance was a problem. Or more likely Reed Bunting. Looks to have good face pattern, crown stripe, pink legs, tiny bill and eye ring.but outer crown stripes too pale? Probably then, Reed Bunting. Thursday, 26 February 2015. And a few Goldeneye.
