Highlights for the past week: <b>Dunlin</b> on the 28th ( my 3rd record on patch this year), an <b>1stW Yellow-legged Gull</b> ( Patch record) on the 29th and four <b>Wigeon</b> on the 1st ( my fourth patch record this year, and four of them! Most I have eve had here)<br />
<br />
Also nice; There have been at least 2 <b>Little Egret </b>around ( though probably a few more hiding in the Water Meadows), 3-4 feral <b>Greylag Geese </b>which spend most winters on the patch, a fair few <b>Redwings </b>have been seen. The largest flock was one of 26 on the 1st.<br />
<br />
Winter waterfowl and wader numbers on patch are on the up.The <b> Lapwing </b> flock peaked on the 28th with 308. Two <b>Tufted Ducks </b>have been present for a couple of days. The <b>Teal </b> flock has risen to 105 ( peak) on the 1st. 9 <b>Shoveler </b>was the highest on the 28th. There has been 1 <b>Snipe </b>feeding in the open for the last couple of days, though I am sure there are a fair few more! 6 <b>Coot </b>were the most recently on the 28th. A flock of around 20 <b>Starlings </b>have also been present.<br />
<br />
Gull wise, apart from the YLG, there have been 2 <b>Lesser-black Backed Gull </b>around. A few <b>Common Gull </b>have been present with the peak of 4 on the 1st.<br />
<br />

Arriving I walked to a small gap in the hedge row and searched through the fence so not the best view, but no luck! While waiting in the surrounding woodland a <b>Nuthatch</b> called, a <b>Treecreeper </b> was busily hunting, I got a brief view of a <b>Jay, </b>and <b>Chaffinches</b> were calling all around me. In the actual lake there was; plenty of <b>Wigeon, </b>a few <b>Tufted Duck, </b>several <b>Mute Swans</b>, <b>Gadwall, Black-Headed Gulls </b>and <b>Coots. </b>While trudging back to the car park I scanned through a very small gap through the trees, the view was obscured by branches and the fence, but I managed to get a decent but short view of a<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #444444;"> </span><b>Fudge Duck</b><span style="color: #444444;"><b>,</b> </span>my target bird. It showed quite well roosting with some Tufted Ducks before being scared off by a Black-headed Gull,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Next was a quick stop at Slufters Inclosure ( New Forest ) where I was looking for the previously reported Parrot Crossbills. Sadly it was very quiet here, with not much at all of interest. Not even a single Common Crossbill!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Abandoning the New Forest I headed towards Farlington Marshes, despite being low tide there was a lot on offer. Highlight was <b>White-Fronted Goose </b>a nice county lifer. There was a lot of common waders about, <b>Dunlin</b> were in high numbers, plenty of <b>Brent Geese</b>, a few <b>Grey Plovers, </b>two ringed <b>Black-Tailed Godwhits, a Spotted Redshank, </b>one <b>Goldeneye </b>was also present.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">After, a quick pop down to pathc to see if anything was present, sadly it was quiet except for two <b>Stonechat</b>. All in all a great birding day!</span></span><br />

There was also 13 <b>Curlew Sandpipers </b>in the lagoon as well as 2 <b>Sanderlings, </b>a <b>Greenshank, </b>a <b>Little Stint </b>and about 300 <b>Dunlin. </b> There was also one <b>Black tern</b> around the jetty of Pennington.<br />
The <b>Semipalmated Sandpiper </b>was a stunner and lovely to watch. What a bird!<br />
<br />
I visited Pennington once again during September where I saw: 2 <b>Ruffs, Bar-Tailed Godwhit, </b>c.50 <b>Yellow Wagtails, </b>1 summer <b>Little Gull </b>and an unidentified raptor probably a <b>Hobby.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I dipped for the Semipalmated Sandpiper but i did have a candidate of Black point after the dip which was almost certainly the bird but just a bit to far for positive ID.<br />
<br />
I dipped Wryneck twice in September, one at Hengistbury Head and the other at Mill Field LNR.<br />
<b><br /></b>
Most of September and October was slow on the birding front, missing Dusky warbler, Raddes warbler and Semiplamted Sandpiper in one week all in hants! And i also missed the Brown Shrike in September. Dipps aside there wasn't to much about.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now onto patch: The main highlights of September were <b>Osprey and Grasshopper warbler.</b><br />
The <b>Osprey </b>flew over on the 24th. The <b>Gropper </b>was on the 28th and stayed for a couple of hours. found by DH. I also had a party of 3 <b>Whinchat</b> by the SF on the 10th. October has been slow also with the only rare bird being a <b>Wigeon (</b>fem) on the 18th.<br />
I will be doing a much more in depth round up of my patch here - http://patchmega.blogspot.co.uk<br />

I also had a fem </b>Redstart<b> on the 27th. </b>Spot Flys <b>are still on patch, normally there are about 3-7 showing though i have seen 11. There was also a </b>Little Egret<b> flyover on the 29/8/13.</b></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: orange; text-align: left;"><b>Birding wise, I saw a </b>Hoopoe<b> on the 26/8/13, briefly in the NF. Despite seeing it briefly, an amazing bird.</b></span></span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">I had a lovely holiday in the Alps for a short weekend around the 25/8/13. I went to a town called Zermatt to watch my dad climb the Matterhorn. Well done dad! A great </span>achievement. I also did some hiking around the Alps and saw some nice birds.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Highlights were: </b>RB Shrike, Nutcracker, Black Redstart, Alpine Chough, Wheatear, Crag Martin <b>(lifer)<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>and</b> Crested Tit</span></span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I also had an amazing trip to Mull.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>On Mull I saw </b>White Tailed Sea Eagle, Golden Eagle, Dipper, Short eared owl, Hen Harrier, Hooded crow, Twite, Chough, Bonxie, Black Guillemot and Rock Dove<b>. Mull was really stunning and beautiful to see. Luckily the rain held of for a fair bit of it but remained windy throughout.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>On the way back, i stopped at a few places on the east coast. Firstly I saw a </b>Ring-Necked Duck <b>near Dunbar. Then I had a fabulous time at Holy Island. It was stunning and i also saw </b>Roseate Tern, Sooty Shearwater <b>and fem</b> Pied Fly<b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>
The next day I saw the Greenish Warbler at Whitburn. Also a fly-over </b>Little Egret<b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>RSPB Salthome held a </b>Black tern<b> and a</b> Garganey<b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I then saw 2-3 </b>Two-Barred Crossbills<b> distantly in flight, calling at Broomhead Reservoir in the Peak District National Park. A very pretty place.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Lastly on my way home, at Netherfield Lagoons, I enjoyed a brief show of a </b>Spotted Crake<b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I really enjoyed this trip so thanks so much to dad for taking me!</b></span><br />

What a great place ! Apart from that I had mixed flocks of <b>Least, Forster's and Common tern.</b> There was also a few over summering <b>White pelicans. </b> I also was very lucky to see hatching pelicans which was very awesome.<br />
<b><br /></b>
So my Florida trip was nice, a few birds, very hot and lovely beaches.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Back on Patch,<br />
<br />
I had a flyover <b>Redshank </b>early on in July, then on the 13th I had a <b>Red Kite.</b><br />
Then after i got back from holiday there was 2 reports of <b>Turtle Dove </b>but considering that was the only patch bird i had missed i was happy, usually its a lot more! Wader migration was kicking off with plenty of <b>Common Sands and Green Sands</b>. A <b>Redshank </b>on the 26th also.On the scarcer front a <b>Turnstone, Dunlin and Wood Sand </b>were recorded on the 28/29/30th. Thats 8 waders sp in a week! Pretty good for here! I had a flypast <b>Wood Sand </b>on the 31st. Though after that the wader migration stopped almost completely with only a <b>Green Sand </b>seen since. Nevertheless i will continue to hope, Ruff, Black-Tailed Godwhit and Greenshank are all a possibility later on.<br />
4 <b>Teal </b>were there this morning (8/8/13).<br />
It seems I must get ready for the passerines migration, I had c.5 <b>Spot Flys </b>feeding in a large <b>Goldfinch </b>flock. It wont be long now till the <b>Winchats, Redstarts, Wheatears (</b>hopefully!) and the chance of something rarer!<br />
<br />
<br />
Further afield I have not been much, but a trip to Pennington got me a <b>Long-Billed Dowitcher, Curlew Sands, Little Stint, Little Ringed Plovers, Sanderlings </b>and the <b> </b>juvenile <b>Redshank </b>which caused a bit if a stir a bit earlier for being mistaken for a <b>Lesser Yellowlegs</b>.<br />
<br />
I will hopefully be going to the BirdFair at Rutland next weekend which should be great fun.<br />
<br />
Now bring on autumn!! That patch <b>Yellow-Browed Warbler </b>will be seen by me!!!<br />
<br />

Phalaropes are rare birds i.e. the female has a reverse role with the male, so the female is more beautiful, the male takes care of the young while the female does nothing.<br />

Rollers are stunning birds and quite rare in Britain. This about the 300th record for Britain and the first twitchable bird for Hampshire since 1985 ( I think).<br />
The bird showed well but very distant when I went at about 6:30 it had been showing the whole day after the news being released in the morning, though it was actually first seen on Thursday.<br />
The bird showed about from 100 meters away, so scopes were a good idea therefore photos were very hard. Here are some awful recordshots<br />

Also a a garden warbler was new for the year.<br />
Swifts have become common again, and its a joy to hear them again. A flyby Hobby was also new for the year.<br />

There was nto much around in the way of migrants. Highlights<br />
<b>Garganey - </b>4,<b> </b>3 males and a female. At radiploe lake<br />
<b>Hobby</b>- Flying through Radipole lakes<br />
<b>Hooded merganser</b> - yep, the Hoodies still at Radipole sleeping most of the time. But very close.<br />
<b>Marsh harrier</b>- Radipole<br />
<b>Pom skua - </b>Off the bill, in seawatch<br />
<b>Arctic skua</b>- Off the Bill<br />
<b>`Manx shearwater - </b>Off the bill<br />
<b>Little gull - </b>2 of the Bill<br />
<b>Red throated diver - </b>2 off the Bill<br />
<b>Great grey shrike - </b>Wyke down<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So it was a nice trip, but missed out on several bird species by a matter of minutes (pied fly). Also dipped on Hoopoe.<br />

This is a decent total as I have not birded obsessively.<br />
Yesterday, I went to Pelican Island (USA's first nature refuge). Besides American white pelicans, I had a nice variety of birds, including four species of warbler and both species of yellowlegs.<br />
Here is a list of species I saw yesterday.<br />
<b>Merlin (female)</b><br />
<b>Common ground dove</b><br />
<b>Black and white warbler</b><br />
<b>Prairie warbler</b><br />
<b>Black throated green warbler</b><br />
<b>Parula</b><br />
<b>Great crested flycatcher</b><br />
<b>Greater yellowlegs</b><br />
<b>Cardinal</b><br />
<b>Wood stork</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
Today, I went birding with a tour guide called Dave Simpson. He is a great birder and one of the best in Florida.<br />
First stop - Fell marshes<br />
There we saw:<br />
<b>Roseate spoonbills</b><br />
<b>Limpkin </b><br />
<b>Marsh wren</b><br />
<b>Savannah sparrow</b><br />
<b>Fulvous whistling duck (our target bird for the area)</b><br />
<b>Black winged stilt</b><br />
<b>American bittern</b><br />
<b>Cliff swallow among hundreds of Barn and Tree swallows</b><br />
<b>Yellow crowned heron</b><br />
<b>Bald eagle</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Next stop was blue cypress lake, where there was not a Short tailed hawk, which we dipped for and annoyingly it was seen the day before.<br />
<br />
Next was Pelican island again, here we saw<br />
<b>A male Eurasian wigeon</b><br />
<b>A white cheeked pintail.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

Both these birds were lovely to see despite the wigeon being very common where i come from! The pintail though countable by ABA guidelines could well be an escape.</div>

Today a clear influx of migrants like a single <b>chiffchaff. </b>Better was one <b>Wheatear </b>on the hill, great to see them now! At the sewage works, their was a <b>Little-ringed plover</b> feeding on the mud. A patch record!<br />

First Budds sewage farm, where eventually finding it ( after getting lost a couple of times). I arrived to a shy female<b> Scaup </b>on the left pool. It was hard to see well but nice never the less. Out to sea there were several rb mergansers. One target bird down two to go......<br />
Next on to Southsea Castle, where i saw a lovely flock of <b>Purple sandpiper, </b>there were about 15 of them right below the castle. Two target birds down and one to go....<br />
Next i went to go and see a celebrity in its own right. It was 'Waldo' the long returning Ring-billed gull. This gull has returned for its seventh winter here in Gosport. Arriving at <a href="http://www.goingbirding.co.uk/hants/map.asp?grid_ref=SZ6199" style="background-color: white; color: #6365ce; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Walpole Park (Gosport)</a>, I was soon greeted by the<b> adult Ring-Billed Gull, </b>washing its self in the estuary.

Next to the woodland hide where there was a nice selection of passerines including a lesser redpoll. Most intrestingly and perhaps most sadly was a great tit with avian pox.

By Mercer way there is a small un-birdy looking park. But this place is a haven for hundreds of finches including a flock of about 25-30 <b>Hawfinches. </b>It was such a massive flock and they are so pretty. Their calls were everywhere. Among them were hundreds of greenfinches, chaffinches, tits and one female brambling!<br />

Other highlights have been dunlin a nice bird for inland. A single golden plover has also shown. Other highlights-skylark,siskin and sparrowhawk. The best bird of 2013 in patch this year has to be the barn owl which showed very close for 2 seperate days-stunning (sorry posted about this before). My total of 80 species has made me extremely happy and hope to get more!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10608414931005202148noreply@blogger.com1
