Bickerton in February<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A visit to Bickerton Hill hide provided a great surprise, Brambling. They were with a flock of Chaffinch and were attracted, in particular, by a crumbled up fat ball which I put on the feeder table</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
together with nuts and seed. It was a sunny day so the light was quite good. They were very mobile though and far more difficult to photograph than the Chaffinch which seemed totally unfazed by the shutter noise from the camera.</div>

There was a lot of grey days and a lot of rain. A trip in early June to Brenne in France was pretty good albeit rather short. It was great to catch some Bee Eater. At home things eventually picked up in September and October although a trip to Norfolk was really disappointing, again due mainly to poor weather. The food was good!!!<br />

This Sparrowhawk visited my garden in September, he had caught a Blackbird the previous morning and I think he had returned for another catch from one of my feeding stations.<br />

<li><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love Wrens</span></b>, they are one of my favourite birds, but they do keep well hidden even though they have a most recognizable song. Usually I can hear them most of the year round, but rarely see them. This year has been different. </li>
<li>They built a nest in my garage!! It meant I had to leave my car out, I didn't want the diesel fumes to bother the youngsters. They fledged about two weeks ago but still stayed in the nest, sometimes they flitted about the garage waiting for the parent birds to feed them. </li>
<li><span style="text-align: justify;"> They left yesterday, leaving me with a bit of a mess in my garage but also the opportunity to take some photographs some of which are shown below.</span></li>

There were loads of Stonechat popping up on every gorse bush and they really are the most obliging little birds in the way they will sit right at the top of a twig or bush.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is always worth it to see the Black Grouse and the Lek. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not so easy to get decent pictures though in the early morning and they are quite some distance away.</span><br />

Not much about at the moment. August is a quiet month where birds are concerned although there are quite a few juveniles about, mainly Blue Tits and House Sparrow. Dunnocks are still here and there is of course the odd Starling. The Pigeons are permanent!!! However there are butterflies - so from time to time, I down the duster and trot outside with the camera!<br />

It is very hot this month and there are not many birds about but our friend Neil has the perfect answer. Neil is an expert on butterflies and dragonflies and he, with his friends in the Tattenhall Wildlife group have transformed neglected areas around the village and created a wonderful habitat for our winged and feathered friends! We went to have a look at the results this week and were amazed at what we found. These few pictures have been taken from the newly created nature reserve.<br />

Just over the Cheshire border and into Shropshire is Prees Heath, a butterfly conservation area that is the only place in the West Midlands where the Silver-studded Blue can be found. After all the rain in June, the sun shone in July, birds seem to be keeping well out of sight so chasing butterflies seemed to be the better option. The first morning we arrived at 0900 and by this time it was 25degrees C, and the butterflies were too mobile to take pictures. The following morning we arrived at 0730 and these are a few of the shots taken that day.<br />

One of my favourite places to visit is Cemlyn Bay on Anglesey. It is quite a long drive for me, approximately 200 miles round trip. My last two visits have been on a Sunday, the last being on the first Sunday in July. Incredibly it was almost deserted with very few people to be seen during the four hours I spent there. Apart from the solitude there are still lots of things to enjoy, beautiful scenery, seals on the rocks in the sun, flowers, insects, and of course the beautiful bay where thousands of Tern nest every year.<br />

A local birding spot for me is the Deeside Bird Reserve at the Powergen site Connahs Quay, Flintshire. The reserve is quite large and covers an area along the west bank of the River Dee. Far more accessible than Skomer, but of course, not as exciting. Nevertheless there are some good birds to be seen, at high tide, particularly in Winter. The salt marsh and river edge attracts many waders especially in winter. One can expect to see all of the common birds here like dunlin, knot, redshank, grey plover, oyster catcher and curlew. The site also attracts wildfowl such as canada geese, teal and mallard. Other common wildfowl can be found here in winter, such as gadwall and wigeon. My last visit was in April when I was hoping to see some early arrivals back for the Summer. I did see a good few Wheatear. When you are a geriatric, as I am, it is quite nice to be able to drive from hide to hide, therefore not having to carry cameras and other equipment which can weigh a ton. The birds I would really have liked to take photographs of were just not being very obliging , but it is a worthwhile site, and if not rarities, there were still plenty of birds about</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the first hide, in the distance, is a pleasant view of Flint Castle, built in the 13th century.</div>

All the gear necessary to see birds and take pictures is very heavy. Apart from food, water, and waterproofs, I have binoculars, tripods cameras and several lenses. So apart from organising the trip, Sarah also carried most of my gear!!<br />

Skomer is a beautiful island off the coast of Pembrokeshire, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the island but it does seem a very long time if the sea is rough</div>

A few years ago I travelled to the Farne Islands only to be disappointed by the weather and the boat not sailing due to strong winds. The Spring of 2013 was not a good one weather wise, but my daughter Sarah organised a trip to Skomer, did all the driving and even carried my kit. It is quite a difficult journey in that the roads are rather slow, we left very early morning and arrived at midday, just in time to catch the last boat to the island. It was a Saturday, originally we were going to wait for the Sunday sailing but the forecast was very poor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We had a splendid day, really memorable, I was not disappointed that due to the poor spring weather everything was delayed. Breeding had not started but the Puffins and other sea birds had arrived and it was a wonderful experience.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">These are some of the pictures I took on the Island.</span><br />
