Cormorant at London Bridge
14 May 2009 21:47:49 GMT
I was crossing London Bridge this morning as I do just about every work
day and lo and behold I saw a cormorant between London and Tower Bridge.
It took off from the water and flew directly beneath me under the bridge.
It certainly brightened my river crossing today. ...

help with unidentified birdsong
Wed, 13 May 2009 13:02:37 +0100
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me trying to identify a birdsong.

A high pitched 'twee' followed by about a 1 second gap before the next
'twee'.This is occasionaly varied with a faster 'twee ti' or 'twee ti ti'.
I went on the RSPB site but none of the samples seemed top match it.

Nesting Long-tailed Tit
Fri, 24 Apr 2009 23:07:25 +0100

Swallows arrival
Fri, 24 Apr 2009 09:57:07 -0700 (PDT)
Saw first swallows of the year the other day - hundreds of 'em in one
