Just to carry this on a little further. I fully understand that we can now get a more graphic picture of what is the 20 mile radius but we have always been...
David The vast majority of birds seen at Amwell are fairly mobile and at some time will cross into the LNHS area, so I don't think anyone is suggesting that...
Hi there, I'm surprised there's been no mention of the excellent male Red-backed Shrike at Richmond Park today, not far from the Cambrian Road gate. Kind...
I had my first Crossness patchlist addition since 1st June on Saturday, when a Turnstone found by Ian Miller hung around long enough for me to twitch it. Total...
Hi, Yesterday evening in the Monk Parakeet hotspot that is Borehamwood three Ring-necked Parakeets flew west over the rail station just before 8pm, calling...
This should be an interesting mix if the RNPs decide to nest in any numbers and force the Monks out Alan ... Why not visit the UK's original site for Lactose...
I've recently received the first batch of data from the first year of the BTO/LNHS Winter Atlas (covering Nov 2007 to Feb 2008). This shows reports of...
Ian Miller has just re-identified my moulting adult Black Tern from Crossness yesterday as a White-winged Black! In retrospect, he's absolutely correct - I can...
Nice one John and Ian - (sh) it happens John, and we'd be much obliged if you sent the original 'ghost' Black tern up to Stoke Newington / Hackney - we've been...
You could say that you predicted this John, I've just been deleting old emails, and this is what you wrote on Aug 4th- 'Good numbers of Common Terns still...
John. Thanks for the info. A good piece of teamwork by the Crossness birders. Distraction by a non-birding father-in-law definitely to blame for the...
2 additions to my Crossness Patchlist - the White-winged Black and Greenshank - bring the total to 111 (cricket fans will recognise that as "Nelson", believed...
Hi Roy That somehow makes my failure to identify it even worse!! What I said then still holds good for another good tern there (and they say one good tern...
Nelson: It's OK if you keep your feet off the ground. Well done to Ian for finding the tern, the list of rare terns and gulls there is impressive! Tony Morris ...
Don't make it worse for John, Tony! It was he who actually found the bird, and Ian who called it as a White-winged Black next morning, which is what John would...
Mayor Boris Johnson has called for a third Airport for London, to be placed in the Thames Estuary. Apparently on arriving back at Gatwick he lost his luggage...
Had a slightly odd sighting of a Common Sandpiper attending a big muddy puddle on the roof of a large private garage below my 7th floor kitchen window this...
Pager is reporting 2 WWB Terns now at Crossness - one still off the golf centre, the other on the beach off the incinerator! John Archer Principal Policy...
hi all, Two Pied Flycatchers in Abney Park Cemetery 1345-1400hrs this lunchtime, along with seven Willow Warblers and a couple of Chiffs. If anybody wants to...
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it appears that the report of 2 White-winged Blacks refers to one individual commuting between the 2 sites. Ian Miller tells me the...
Hi Mark Gave it a try at around 6.30 today but no joy. One nice fresh Chiffy for my pains, plus Tits and Robins. Couple of Swifts as well. What a place though,...
Hi Jonathan, shame you had no joy - but as you say, a tangle indeed; it's more like indian sub-jungle between May and September (and the birding's pretty...

Had an hour on Wanstead Flats this morning from 5.45 and am pleased to say that after a dearth of Willow Warblers this spring where I think I had a grand total...
I just heard from Mark Pearson that there is still at least one Pied Flycatcher in Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, this morning, til 10am at least. In...
