OK – Scarlett and I did the hour-long birdwatch while enjoying a late breakfast. The idea is record the maximum number of each species seen (to avoid counting the same bird twice). I’ve submitted the results to the RSPB website. The final score was: Goldfinch 4 Blue Tit 5 Collared Dove 2 Blackbird 4 Sparrow [...]

Birds of Bedfordshire: No. 54 – The Goosander

I’m afraid I’m not a very good birder. I started keeping my list of Bedfordshire birds about two and a half years ago (see Birds of Bedfordshire: No.45 – The Dunnock).

It’s confession time again. I’ve been guilty of occasional birdwatching for many years. Nothing too serious – putting out food in the garden, listening to birdsong, watching the buzzards over the fields – the usual stuff. I thought I could handle it. But now I’ve crossed a line. I’ve joined the hardcore of birdwatching. I’ve [...]

I’ve been asked the question a few times when I’m wandering about the countryside. It’s a reasonable conclusion for people to make. The green jumper and binoculars must be a dead giveaway. The truth is, I’m not really a birdwatcher. I’ll watch anything, me – bird or beast. It’s all part of getting to know [...]
