Photography Competition – Spring 2015
Posted in Competition, Photography on Thursday March 5, 2015| Leave a Comment »
As a Team we were arguing when ‘Spring’ officially started. I said 1st of March and Fiona said the 21st of March. Steve pointed out that both were correct in that the 1st is the start of metrological spring, but the 21st, the equinox, is the start astronomically speaking.
Well, with warm weather forecast for this weekend, let’s hope that we all feel Spring has well and truly started. So why not get your cameras out and enter this photography competition:

What is this bird?
Posted in Environment, Ornithology, Photography on Sunday January 25, 2015| 4 Comments »
Is there someone in the village who knows what this bird is, I took poor photos of it 20 mins ago in our garden. Been through the books and struggling to identify it, thought initially it was a wagtail, but the markings are not quite right. It looks most like a Shore Lark, but if it is it must be lost!

Little Garden Bird Watch
Posted in Environment, Ornithology, Photography on Friday January 23, 2015| 7 Comments »
Tomorrow and Sunday see the RSPB’s Big Garden Bird Watch, there is still time to register for that. (Click here for more information.) However we are suggesting that we also do an Alsop, Ballidon, Pikehall and Parwich ‘Little Garden Bird Watch’.
Great tit
The RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch involves counting the birds you see in your garden for one hour at some point over the weekend. We are suggesting a simpler note of what species our readers happen to see in our area on Saturday and/or Sunday. Just put your list in a comment to this post, or email it and any photos you happen to take to parwich@hotmail.co.uk.
Bullfinch
To identify birds you can use one of the following:
- RSPB Bird Guide (Contains links, information, photos & videos on over 250 species.)
- RSPB Bird Identifier (Allows you to search for birds by entering their characteristics.)
We are also compiling a page of bird photos taken locally, click here to go to this page.
