19.05.2017 - Burton Mere Wetlands Wirral .At work this morning the call came through that a Buff Breasted Sandpiper had arrived at Burton Mere Wetlands on the Wirral.Having all my gear in the car and the choice between the 21 Miles to Pennington and only 15 Miles to Burton the choice was quickly made and by 12 pm I was heading down to the Gorse covert hide to see this stonking little American Beauty, and soon located it, but as with the Pallid Harrier the other week ,pictures were never going to do it Justice ,

It was an absolute cracker and full frame views through my scope are what I bought it for, and it was superb. It was always a bit distant ,so only record shots were ever gained, but it was worth every second taken to see it, and when you take into consideration that it should be nesting on the East Coast of North America,its a minor miracle when these appear in the North West of England and was still showing well when I left at 4pm.

The only other macrolepidopteran caterpillars I found yesterday: a buff-tip (Phalera bucephala Linnaeus, 1758, Notodontidae) nest on oak. These caterpillars were certainly shot a thousand times before, but I thought contributing another photo was adequate to their nice appearance.

This is a tropical species that will occasionally nest along the Texas Gulf Coast. The nech is irridescent green. I had a second or two to catch a shot of the bird hovering in front of me but I moved too fast and it took off.

Pretty birds that are normally hiding in the long grass.

Buff Monster pasting found in the heart of Shibuya in the summer of 2001.

California Gulch/Warsaw Canyon confluence, Santa Cruz County, Arizona. We heard two birds first and then one perched in the open long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures.

The Indian Scops Owl (Otus bakkamoena) is found in the southern regions of Asia. This is a small (23–25 cm) owl, although it is one of the largest of the scops owls. Like other scops owls, it has small head tufts, or ears. The upperparts are grey or brown, depending on the morph, with faint buff spotting. The underparts are buff with fine darker streaking. The facial disc is whitish or buff, and the eyes are orange or brown. There is a buff neckband. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.

 

This five-month-old male is called Dyson - presumably because he hoovers up his food - and is a resident at the Secret Owl Garden at Picton Castle in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. His flight feathers are growing through and are replacing the fluffy juvenile feathers.

From our shorebird trip in August

A vagrant in Iceland and a new lifer for me!

Occasionally seen as it quickly dashes between clumps of rank grass, sedges, rushes or other overgrown vegetation, the Buff-banded Rail is often otherwise difficult to observe as it skulks about, concealed by plant cover, though its harsh squeaks may reveal its presence. The species inhabits a wide range of terrestrial wetlands, as well as coastal beaches, reef flats, sandbanks, and mangroves, where it forages on the ground, pecking and probing in mud to catch crustaceans, worms and other invertebrates.

This bird was seen on the side of the road as I was driving near the lakes on the Atherton tableland, North Queensland. I managed to hang the camera out of the window and get this photograph before it dashed into the long grass and not seen again.

It was only a few weeks ago that I came across my first Buff-breasted Sandpiper while on Portland. Well, while in north Cornwall, I took the opportunity to see a couple of these North America birds currently at Davidstow Airfield. Beautiful birds.
