I’m publishing this article later than usual but it’s the subjects themselves that are responsible. Since the 1970s I have been monitoring a wintering roost of Crag Martins (Ptyonoprogne rupestris) at Gorham’s and Vanguard Caves, off the east side of Gibraltar.

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.

Two others have a limited breeding distribution in the north: Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) across the Cantabrian Mountains and the Pyrenees, and Ring Ouzel (Turdus torquatus) in the Pyrenees.

Last week I wrote about the birds that fly over my Suffolk garden (in eastern England), this time it’s the turn of the real garden birds, those that not only land in the garden, but also feed in it. I’ve only lived in my current house for five years: the previous owners weren’t interested in either birds or gardening, so I have to work hard to make the half-acre property more attractive to birds.

What is your favorite bird species? I would always say the Black-throated Tit, not just because it is the first bird I identified in the field, but also simply because it is cute. I have a soft spot for cute passerines. What is your name, and where do you live? My name is Zhang Zhuyang, but I usually go by Bella Zhang when guiding, to make things easier.

After having had a summer with a rich set of different birding experiences – from Rock Ptarmigan in the Alps to scoping out Little Bustards in a steppe in southern France – it was quite a contrast to get back to Bonn in Germany for work and suddenly having my bird sightings reduced to my cycle rides to and from work.

Soon, we will be heading to Southwest Florida for the winter. The following are some of the birds I eagerly look forward to seeing again. 1. Roseate Spoonbill. Think pink! This bird is the most flamboyant of Florida’s waders, with its pink body, scarlet shoulders, orange tail, and featherless, greenish head. It is the only spoonbill in the world with coloured plumage.

This post is about Dunlins, as seen in and around Shanghai in the autumn of 2024 – the usual mix of photos and some facts which I steadfastly refuse to call “fun facts” While Dunlins are presumably not a species that gets the pulse of birders racing, I had two motivations to work on this post.

Most readers, the peripapatic ones, may know the Lonely Planet house as a publisher of travel guides segregated by country, city, or other geographic area, as many travel guides are. A variation on this practice and, perhaps, a natural outgrowth of it, is The Joy of Birdwatching (by multiple authors, with a Foreword by Tenijah Hamilton, previously interviewed here).

What is your favorite bird species? More than a specific bird, it is a group of birds that really fascinates me, possibly because in my opinion they are the greatest exponent of the ability of birds to fly, the swifts. Beings that can live constantly flying. But if I have to choose one, the Alpine Swift with its enormous size is spectacular. What is your name, and where do you live?

Whitby is a quaint fishing port on the Yorkshire coast. I lived nearby with my family in the early nineties – my youngest son was born a Yorkshireman.

Popular tourist sites can be hit or miss. Some are exaggerated up by tour operators and end up being a big letdown for tourists; others live up to the hype, and then, of course, some destinations are vastly underrated for their cool factor. To me, the Meeting of the Waters to form the Amazon River by Manaus, Brazil lives up to the hype.

Spain, coming out of a multi-year drought, had begun receiving promising early season rains. And then, on October 29th, these rains turned torrential, leading to Spain’s worst-ever natural disaster. To date when I’m writing this, 217 deaths have been reported.
