Vole survey at ? reserve?     Wed, 25 Jan 2006 03:27:23 -0000
Hi URNH's Can anyone remeber the name/location of the nature reserve somewhere out Hertford/Hatfield way? It had a study of voles going on at one time by a famous lady-vole-expert. I seem to remember that access was obtained by calling on the reserve warden who lived nearby. I thought I'd saved the posting ...

Good Service     Fri, 13 Jan 2006 11:47:14 -0000
I had to post and say what excellent service I've received from the East of England Binocular Centre... http://www.eebc.co.uk/ I wondered if the first time was a fluke but this time I ordered an Opticron 8x30 Monocular yesterday afternoon on the internet and it's arrived, from Lincoln, this morning perfe ...

Gliding algae (diatoms)     10 Jan 2006 02:59:31 -0800
Is it true that the mechanism by which algae and diatoms "glide" is still unknown? I've found a few papers that put forward theories, but nothing that definitively states "this is it". Through experimentation, I've established that several species simply move towards brighter light, but I suspect the discovery ...

A squirrel question     Sun, 8 Jan 2006 12:05:16 +0000
Now that our bird feeders are well established, I have a query about squirrel behaviour. The squirrel(s) that visits extracts a nut from the nut feeder with his/her teeth, transfers it (while still inverted) to his paws, takes a small bite, and then transfers it back to teeth so it can run off and bury ...

Badgercam problem     Sat, 07 Jan 2006 19:13:31 GMT
I set up the Badgercam today to resume live coverage each evening and found that the radio transmitter has packed up. While I am trying to find a new one, I have turned on the camera inside my Bluetit box. I have been checking it each day for weeks and, luckily, a rooster has decided to settle in there jus ...

Bl**dy caterpillars...     Wed, 4 Jan 2006 11:07:52 +0000
It's not fair. My brassicas are supposed to have a chance to recover and feed *us* over the winter, but last night I found a large caterpillar actively feeding on the cavolo nero. I didn't stop to identify it, but I think it was one of the usual whites. I can check if anyone's interested; I suppose I should go a ...

Bats in the belfry?     Mon, 2 Jan 2006 11:16:54 +0000
If this works, you should be able to see some insect remains on the following photo:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/watchman/80174481/ They were on the floor of an almost deserted Norfolk church, last July. I have explained there the circumstances, repeated here:- *********************** The proble ...

TV Alert: 'Survival' on ITV3     Fri, 30 Dec 2005 10:11:14 +0000
ITV3 (available on Freeview) are carrying repeats of "Survival", the ITV equivalent to 'Wildlife on One'. It's on most days, around 6am, but the time is not fixed, and there is sometimes a second episode, at any time from 1am - 10am. Forthcoming episodes of particular birding interest include: S ...

Great Spotted Woodpeckers     Thu, 29 Dec 2005 20:58:12 +0000 (GMT)
For the last two days I have seen a pair of these, drumming and generally displaying and following each other on some trees. This is in the very cold east of Essex, with the ground covered with snow. This strikes me as very early. Do they normally start courting so early. -- Regards from Robert Seago : h ...
