10,000 Birds

Gulls aren’t everyone’s cup of tea it seems but I find them a fascinating group, highly adaptable and capable of surviving and thriving in many situations. Here, in the south-west of the Iberian Peninsula, I am lucky to be able to see a wide range of gulls, particularly along the Atlantic coast at this time of the year.

Tales from the river bank

10,000 Birds

Many years ago I was a motoring correspondent. It was much easier, and a lot more fun, to write about Porsches rather than Peugeots, or Ferraris than Fiats. There’s something of a parallel in writing about birds. Describing encounters with rarities, or even scarce birds, is much more appealing than common everyday birds, or noting outings when little of special interest is seen.

10,000 Birds

The UK is a very interesting place for birding – on the one hand, the species rather pale in comparison to many more exotic species (just like any other central European countries), but on the other hand there are excellent birds around, especially migrants, and in particular a huge number of birders who find them.
