Birding with Flowers: Who are they Interested In?
http://eybirdwatching.blogspot.com/2015/07/who-are-they-interested-in.html
Thursday, 30 July 2015. Who are they Interested In? Today my nephew and I travelled over 50 miles visiting nature reserves, and well-known local walking places, putting up posters advertising my Autumn classes. En route we came across 2 very obliging Little Owls. Ben had to take the photo as the view was better from the passenger side. We were there less than 10 seconds, to avoid disturbance, but the pictures were quite pleasing! Little Owls (c) 2015 Ben Coneyworth. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://eybirdwatching.blogspot.com/2015/07/purple-hairstreak-new-butterfly-species.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. Purple Hairstreak - New Butterfly Species for Me! However, it was a great sighting, as this is a species that I've always wanted to see, but they spend a lot of time high in the canopy of trees. This must be the only day this week that they were visible in these trees because the weather has been completely unsuitable every other day! Purple Hairstreak - taken on a mobile. Betony [ID Jan Davie]. 1 August 2015 at 17:49. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Autumn is also the best time...

Saturday, 11 October 2014. Tophill Low Nature Reserve. Tophill Low Nature Reserve. Tophill Low, Watton, Near Driffield. There were high hopes of a cracking early morning when I set off for THL this morning, with the sun rising over the fields on the way over the Wold's from Scarborough to Watton, but poor visibility was endured for most of the morning from Driffield onwards, which limited viewing in the short time I had on site, but still all was not lost as shown below. Saturday, October 11, 2014. Follo...

Friday, 10 July 2015. The National Trust, Farne Islands, Northumberland. On our journey back from Scotland two nights were booked in Bamburgh, with me luckily being able to take the Billy Shields full day bird watching trip over to the Farne Islands, visiting both Staple Island and Inner Farne, incorporating the usual trip to the Longstone Lighthouse and a couple of Grey Seal colonies on the outer islands. Inner Farne and Bamburgh. Puffins (far to cute for their own good)! Artic Terns (what a bird)!
