Welcome …
This blog has two main purposes: to share photos and videos of my birding in and around Merseyside and occasionally further afield, and to provide me with an outlet for the occasional rant. You’ll find digiscoped photos and videos with a bit of reportage as the main posts; some useful birding info and resources are in the static Pages section.
As work and the general joies – and trials – de vivre leave me with little time for running yet another birding website I recommend that everyone keeps a daily eye on John Dempsey’s Birdblog – probably the best online birding journal in the world (Theakston’s Best please, John …) as well as other regularly updated local blogs, such as Colin Bushell’s …
Comments are welcome on any posted item, as well as on the Latest Sightings and Discussion pages. If anyone wants to contribute anything else please get in touch – all contributions are welcome and it’s very easy to post material from flickr and YouTube accounts (although it’s really bloody unhelpful when people ask for photos to be posted, then delete them from flickr!)
