This was what all the fuss was about. Top of the fantasy wishlist of every twitcher in Britain, an accessible bird on the mainland was found by a dedicated local birder in the village of Easington a couple of miles North of Spurn Point, hot on the heels of a bird found on Shetland, its first day attracted an estimated 1200 birders. A local farmer set aside a field to accommodate the excess of vehicles and to alleviate congestion in the small village. Police patrols were stepped up and minor roads were closed to vehicles.
The bird spent a week feeding in this clearing taking tiny caterpillars, moving around furtively much like a common or garden Dunnock, oblivious to all the fuss it had created.

The last post from my 'misty morning in Devon' series. This is a bird watchers hut in the middle of a small lake.
A twitcher is someone who sets out to see as many different bird species as possible. In this cat's case, I think any bird will do, common or rare. As long as it has feathers and flies, that will suffice.

Citrus slices appear better on warm tone paper. But here they are anyway, just doing their best.
No fixing or toning.
The Bewicks Wren is a challenge to photograph as some part of it seems to be always in motion. High contrast conditions do not help but I got a couple of interesting images.
Symonds Yat Rock is home to Peregrine Falcons and Gosshawks among other bird species. It attracts bird watchers from near and far. The Peregrine (known as Duck Hawk in America) is the fastest animal on Earth, the highest measured speed in a dive being 242mph (389kph).
A slang British term for a nosy person who watches his or her neighbours, typically from a (net) curtained window.
I decided to play a little with this one to give it the faded look of a photo that's been pinned on the fridge for a couple of years.
For the Twitcher 'nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.'

I am using this as a backup page checker....so if you see it keep coming to the top of the Birds and Wildlife UK group pool page - you are not dreaming or seeing things. It has a purpose.

The Carolina wren is a common species of wren that is a resident in the eastern half of the United States of America, the extreme south of Ontario, Canada, and the extreme northeast of Mexico. Severe winters restrict the northern limits of their range while favorable weather conditions lead to a northward extension of their breeding range. Their preferred habitat is in dense cover in forests, farm edges and suburban areas. This wren is the state bird of South Carolina.
Carolina wrens are wary, and are more often heard than seen. When on the ground, they move in jerky hops pillaging through various objects, whether man-made or natural. While moving abruptly, they pause momentarily for chattering or singing. When stationary, they move in twitched motions, jerking their breast around. They also sun- or sand-bathe. The wrens also displays a skittish behavior when encountered by humans, as they can be seen thrusting off into cover slowly if approaching is detected. However, they occasionally seek out humans that are near, so long as there is no movement from them. Other movements involve being capable of crawling like a creeper and hanging upside-down like a nuthatch.
Carolina wrens are both genetically and socially monogamous and will usually mate for life. Mate changing is rare, and there has been one possible observation of polygamy. During the winter season, males are more responsible for guarding the territory. Females vary in succeeding to maintain winter territories without a mate. It has been suggested that the possibility of desertion and decline in care-taking from males along with the need for security in resources year-round prevent extra pair copulations from females, as the mortality rate for Carolina wrens peaks during the winter. Along with thermoregulatory benefits, roosting is thought to reinforce pair-bonding and prevent divorce between mates.

Always good storm chasing stories to tell about my weather adventures in 2014.
Days right after my knee replacement... Home from the hospital & I definitely wasn't supposed to be out and about. Knee was almost in a cast and I wasn't supposed to be doing anything to aggravate the situation. Though my quest for severe weather never ends and I wasn't going to miss another possible chase especially when its in my backyard. This storm was going to be a photogenic monster... Decision was made & off I went.
I wasn't out for long as the storm has now passed over to the north of the city. Wasn't the wisest of ideas to go out. I headed back home & as I pulled into the drive, the backside edge of the updraft had this incredible mammatus display. It was just a bit north of the city & I had a phenomenal view of this storm as it passed almost directly overhead. Sunlight that was cresting against this was simply incredible. So much detail in these mammatus clouds I couldn't quit taking snaps.
Personal Note *** On the original set Back in 2014 I had use the free Avery photo editor here Flickr and it wasn't the best but I had no prior knowledge of editing them back then. Only shot in .jpg format and I didn't do the best by over coloring and over saturation. Was very under experienced in photo editing back then.
Another epic set of thunderstorm captures from South Central Nebraska remastered through Lightroom and Photoshop. Though I paid for it with my knee just being replaced. I was super sore and the swelling was unreal a few days after this event. All worth it when it comes to what epic views I caught storm chasing on that particular day!

(And for those that are wondering... A twitcher / twitching is another name for a birdwatcher / birdwatching)
