The past few weeks have been spent with Dragonflies, Butterflies, Moths and Insects :)<br />
We have had some amazing days out doing Dragonflies and Damselflies and Butterflies love all my insects find it so much fun and never get bored :)<br />
The highlight of the last few weeks has been the Red-veined Darter's that Dave found at Marsh Lane Nature Reserve a very exciting moment and stunning Dragonflies so beautiful :) Also Dave found a very early Common Darter possibly the earliest record in Warwickshire.<br />
We have also had a couple of trips to Stockton Cutting an amazing place and saw my first ever Green Tiger Beetle amazing beetles, we also had White-legged Damselfly, Grizzled Skipper and Dingy Skipper :) Then are second trip was to look for Clearwing Moths we put the Six-belted Clearwing Lure up took a little while but then the first one came in they are stunning just love the wings there fascinating in the end we had 6 :)<br />

A dream day in Shrewsbury at Dingle Gardens with the very very showy Night Heron he was showing as soon as we got there so beautiful I was so excited he gave us amazing views felt like a dream with Night Herons being special birds to me as it's the bird that brought Me and Dave together so to get such amazing views of one is out of this world, I know you can'e always have views like this of birds but to me this is what watching birds is about this is the type of bird watching and bird photography I love :) <br />
Dingle Gardens is an amazing beautiful place the flowers are out of this world and the water fountain and such a relaxing place everyone so polite and all happy to see and learn about the bird, it was a lovely day Night heron is definitely one of my fav birds :) big thank you to Dave for taking me :)<br />
I will have to go back again I could live there the gardens, the town with the black and white buildings is just down my street :)<br />
Places like this make you think that we are surrounded by such beauty even in busy towns and citys there are still beautiful gardens, parks, woods always places we can for tranquil in a very hectic world we have to make the most of these beautiful places and beautiful moments we are part of nature so we should enjoy it and make the most of all the beauty :)<br />

A great day with the Spotted Sandpiper at Belvide Reservoir stunning bird those spots really stand out and we had lovely views still a little distant for my camera and hard work because the hide was packed with people but just glad I saw him a lifer for me and wading birds just fascinate me love them :)<br />
Such a lovely reserve would love to go back again and go insect hunting that would be great fun can image theres some beauties to be seen there :)<br />

The main highlight of the day was an Adder we had heard people walk past and mention Adder so we walked down the path and there it was out in the open on the path it was so much smaller than I though and so so beautiful I felt like crying I actually had tears in my eyes I had always wanted to see an Adder I love snakes and this was my best view of any snake and my only ever snake in England this moment will stay with me forever a dream come true, but then on closer inspection we realised the poor Adder had possibly been run over by a cyclist or poorly but there did some to be some damage on him but hard to tell he was very alert and the brave Dave managed to make a forked stick and moved the Adder to somewhere sunny and safe out of harms way :) I just pray he will of been ok but we did all we could to give him the best chance and i'm so proud of Dave he has a fear of Snakes but loves them too but I know deep down how scared he would of been but he showed no hesitation just went straight to help without a second thought bless him :)<br />
I'm so honoured to of seen this wonderful snake just wish he hadn't of been injured but hopefully he would of been fine :)<br />

Another trip to Middleton Lakes today picking up Little Gull for the year a stunning little gull so pretty, a nice sunny day and lot's of Banded Demoiselles Male and Females just stunning so beautiful and striking, we had 20+ :)<br />
Also lovely views of Song Thrush, Common Redstart, Reed Buntings, Avocets and a beautiful close Lessser Black-backed Gull but we fear he was not well but we went the day after and he wasn't there so hopefully he was ok and flew off :)<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A very wanted lifer for me today at Middleton Lakes Green-winged Teal a bird I had always wanted to see, I love birds that look similar that I know have to study to see the difference and at first glimpse as always i'm like it just looks like a Teal but then Dave pointed out the difference and in the end it did stand out but was made easier by the fact there wasn't any other Teals but the Green-winged does stand out with the <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">presence of a vertical white bar on the side of the breast</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> :) </span></span><br />

On the 14th of April Dave went to check Seeswood Pool I decided to give it a miss my last words were ring me if you get a Ring Ouzel joking lol. He had only been gone 20 mints when I got the phone call babe I have a Ring Ouzel lol I couldn't believe it, I headed up there but it had flown off I did get a quick glimpse in flight but I was just happy for Dave he has put so much time and effort into Seeswood it is nice for him to get some reward for that hard work he also had a Redstart the other day too which was also brill :)Busterthebulliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16324911321051646970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524610460391188702.post-23025096223794645152017-04-14T15:02:00.003-07:002017-04-14T15:02:25.303-07:00Moths 2017 Feb- April <br />
It has been a great start to the year with some lovely moths are first Macro of the year was Pale Brindled Beauty at the end of Feb and Oak Beauty at the start of March.<br />
My first lifer of the year came on the 12th March a lovely Small Quaker and then the night after a lifer for Me and Dave Grey Shoulder-knot stunning moth and one Dave had always wanted :)<br />
Quite a few Common Quakers too which was nice so much bigger than Small Quaker and differently marked.<br />
Another Lifer for me on the 17th of March Early Grey one I had been hoping for and also a Clouded Drab only my second ever one and my last one being very worn so was over the moon to get another one, we also ended up getting another one a few days later we have also had quite a few Small Quakers in March and also in March and start of April we had lot's more Early Grey moths about 10 altogether and 10+ Hebrew Characters and Two Early Thorns in April.<br />
On the 9th of April another lifer Lunar Marbled Brown beautiful moth and one I was puzzled by had to search in my moth book lol was a first for Dave's garden and we had a Lesser Swallow Prominent only my second ever one my last one was on a moth night last year so this one was even better to get it in Dave's garden :)<br />
We had are first Flame Shoulder of the year on 11th of April.<br />
What a cracking year so far and it's only April I can't wait to see what's to come in the following months this is why I love mothing so much you just never know what you might get it's just so exciting :)<br />

We had a great day at Cannock Chase with the Emperor Moth Lure we had never used a lure before so didn't know what to expect but it worked a beauty we had only been there ten mints before we had one fly to us and we hadn't even got the lure out of my bag then lol<br />
We ended up with 20+ stunning males, out of this world and a lifer for both of us and has become my fav moth never seen anything so beautiful :)<br />

Was a nice surprise when Dave got a text to say there was Waxwings at Marsh Lane Nature Reserve, I was not expecting to see anymore this year, I was very excited just love these birds could never get fed up with them, there so beautiful.<br />
We headed over to the Marsh Lane the waxwings were high up in the trees but lovely to see them and hear them again, they came lower down giving a chance for some record shots :)<br />
Then they flew off high whilst we were there, it's sad this is most likely my last Waxwings of the year, I have enjoyed them so much this year fingers crossed next year will be a Waxwing year too :)<br />

Really has been a fantastic month not only with the Waxwings round the corner from Swanshurst but also with the Iceland on Swanshurst and an added bonus with a Yellow-legged Gull :)<br />
The Iceland Gull is still present as I write this, he has been there now about five weeks amazing to have such a stunning Gull locally, I have made quite a few visits can't resist him, Dave also came to see him but he gave us quite a wait and the weather was very dull but he came in giving nice views for Dave and he got some record shots but I still think there better than record shots lol<br />
I have really struggled with this bird it's either to dull or to bright, strangely the Iceland Gull seems to love the sun he stays there more regular in the nicer weather but is always right in the sunlight which is very difficult with a white bird lol<br />
After having just a fly by on one visit and no show on a couple of occasions the last time I went he spent the whole morning there again enjoying the sun rays, but I was very lucky that he flew on the fields and landed I quickly rushed round there the Iceland Gull seems quite relaxed with people but I knew if the other Gulls flew he would follow, so I took my time just taking small steps to get close then sat down took a few photos then shuffled to gradually get closer was totally worth the effort as I got my best shot so far, lighting still too bright but much better than on the water I was over the moon, love this Gull :) When he fly's it's like a ghost flying by, beautiful.<br />

Also there was 1st winter Yellow-legged Gull which caused some controversy with people reporting it as a Caspian Gull but it really did not stand out as being a Caspian but there was lot's of people adamant that it was Caspian. Dave sent me on a mission to get a photo of the underwing this was easier said than done lol Took me over three hours but I got there in the end lol and the Underwing helped to confirm Yellow-legged Gull as it is two toned wheareas if it was Caspian it would be more completely white/lighter.</div>

I have spent quite a few hours at Windemere Road, Moseley over the past 4 weeks with the Waxwings so nice to have them just a ten minute drive down the road and local to me had to make the most of them, I got addicted just love them you can hear them as you walk up the road that sound just fills me with joy and warmth, such beautiful amazing birds at the highest count there was 52 but they did start to dwindle down in numbers the last week, I have loved every second of watching them, photographing them has been tricky as every time they land on the berry trees the Mistle Thrush chases them off lol so funny to watch and also lighting is very dark when there in the trees but had some super views and the last day I was there some of the Waxwings came down to a puddle to drink water the first time I had ever seen them on the ground a great feeling to watch them :)<br />
They really have brightened up the past month, felt like crying when they left was so strange when I went to check if they were still there and no sign was to silent without them :(<br />
Hopefully we will have another Waxwing year again soon maybe next year !!! lol<br />

The past couple of weekends have been spent locally with the Tundra Bean Geese still being present on Seeswood Pool Dave's local patch we have spent quite a bit of time there it's not every day you get 4 Tundra Bean Geese just down the road, I have fallen in love with these Geese there so pretty elegant looking, has been a pleasure to get so many lovely views :) Photographing them has been hard work as they do move about from on the water, to the field on the road and the back field, but they did come much closer on a couple of occasions so have managed a few shots :)<br />
Also so had nice views of Egyptian Geese there stunning Geese.<br />

We were also extremely lucky with the Greenland White-fronted Goose at Middleton Lakes at the back of the canal in field, we got there and Dave got straight onto him was quite distant at that point we were getting a few record shots then we walked down a bit then the Geese starting walking up and Dave joked and said now it would bevgood if the Greenland could come as close as the Canada Geese not expecting in a million years it would happen lol but then the Greenland starting walking closer and closer towards us this was just amazing even though a subspecies Greenland White-fronted are very rare Geese so to have one this close and my first ever one was an honour such a lovely Goose and does really stick out love the thick dark barring on his belly :) </div>

With news coming through on Twitter from a Tommy D who had 18 Little Egrets in the roost at Old Mill Pool official name Bamptons Pool this was a new West Midlands county record, I had to get down there and see them, so the following night I headed down there I got there far to early there was only one when I got there then six which is when I headed back to the car to change my shoes so that I would be ready to speed of to work, when I got back a Des Jennings was there I said how many he said 13 wow this was already the most I had ever seen there, as we both stood there more and more joined with the final couple coming in when it was almost completely dark, this made the total up to 18 was over the moon to see all 18 of them an amazing feeling, I was so excited a couple of years back when I had one here so to see 18 was overwhelming just astonishing how Little Egret numbers have increased, will be exciting now to see if we get any more than 18 over the next weeks :) <br />
Des Jennings got a nice shot of 10 of 18 little egrets, Thank you to Des for letting me use his photo on my blog :)<br />

With news coming through last week of an Iceland Gull at Swanshurst Park which is just around the corner from Trittiford. I decided to head over there on Wednesday afternoon I had been putting it off because didn't feel right going without Dave but he told me not to be silly and go for it. <br />
Think I picked the worst day with lighting as dull as dishwater, but as soon as I got there the Iceland Gull was there really is so striking he was over the other side of the pool and the other birders didn't seem to want to try and get closer but a nice birder let me look through his scope which was lovely and he did come a little closer when he landed on the fields, I was just so happy to see him I love my gulls and so nice to have an Iceland Gull near by and I had nice prolonged views for an hour before it flew off high, hopefully if the weather picks up this weekend Me and Dave will go for it :)<br />
An added bonus was a Yellow-legged Gull, which had been reported as a Caspian but Dave said as soon as he looked at a photo of it that it looks like Yellow-legged Gull and then that was confirmed but the Gull ID page on facebook :) <br />

We headed down to Lincolnshire today The River Witham for the White-billed Diver that had been there a week now and had been showing amazingly well and rare to get one inland. <br />
We both really wanted to see him but I still struggled to get out of bed but so glad I did, after a long walk up The River to find him it was worth it such an amazing beautiful bird and stunning bird, felt honoured to see him, I love him :)<br />
Lighting was so bright with the sun shining to bright we all struggled and even though the bird was showing so well, still too distant for my camera to do this bird justice but I'm happy to of seen him and have some record shots :) <br />
Was such an amazing day and we got to see Dean and Alicia and there dog Rebel such a beautiful dog he put a big smile on my face. Was so nice catching up with Dean and Alicia too :) <br />
Hopefully if the Diver is still there next weekend and a little cloud cover we will go back :) <br />
Big thank you to Dave for getting my ass out of bed lmao <br />

An excellent day Saturday we decided to stay local and we went for a walk then walked round Seeswood Pool Dave's Local Patch, so glad we did there was a high number of Greylag Geese so Dave decided to count them as he was counting he said Pink feet I went wow I was over the moon something different I tried getting a record shot but then everything flew up and flew into a back field we decided to go and have look as soon as Dave set eyes on them again he shouted there Tundra Bean Geese they have orange legs this was such a good record for Seeswood and Warwickshire just an amazing feeling being with Dave when he found them a very special moment. <br />
Such beautiful geese to distant for photographs managed a blurry shot lol we headed home and Dave went back up with his camera and to met other birders he got a much better shot. <br />
Then on Monday with reports saying they were still there we both headed back up, getting much better views still distant for photos but I got a record shot and loved watching them, so exciting them being on Seeswood :) Dave is such an amazing birder I wouldn't of had a clue lol <br />

Had a few nice trips too Trittiford the Mandarin Duck is still present although she keeps hiding from me lol Had much better views of a female Goosander at Trittiford still too distant for my camera but managed a better record shot. <br />
The Little Egrets have been amazing on The River giving lovely views and my closest photos still want better though lol <br />
Also the past couple of trips I have had very showy Kingfishers with two chasing each other up and down The River and the one even landed next to me on the post at the Bridge I was gobsmacked never been this close to a kingfisher I felt all emotional I couldn't even take a photo I froze lol But I did get a photo of the one in the trees but more distant but the sun was shining which helped. <br />
Also there's Five Male Pochards which are always nice to see :) <br />

Finally caught up with the amazing Blue Rock Thrush when it first turned up before Xmas I never went with Dave because i'm not keen on twitches and Dave thought there would be a lot of people there and I don't like crowds, but it turns out it wasn't that bad so I was gutted I didn't go was my own fault for letting my anxieties get the better of me, this was such a beautiful bird just something about him I couldn't stop thinking about him I had this itch I just really wanted to see him.<br />
The past few months I have lost my mojo for birding I think a mixture of not liking crowds and the waiting about and the cold, but after having a few days staying in and Dave going birding if i'm honest I drove myself crazy I was bored out of my brains all I wanted to do now is get out there and see birds, with me nagging Dave a little about seeing the Blue Rock Thrush lol We waited for a less busy time when people would be back at work and headed down there today, we saw the Blue Rock Thrush straightaway quite distant high up on a chimney but nice views through bins then we waited and he flew into the tree over someones garden in Fishers close giving lovely views then dropped down onto the roof of the shed but the hedge in the way but managed to get a record shot before he dropped down into the garden we couldn't see him then.<br />
We then waited about an hour but the bird didn't come out of the garden, we were both freezing so we decided to leave as it was dull anyway and the bird likes sunshine so we knew we could be waiting along time and I was more than happy with the views I had and my record shot I was over the moon to see him such a beauty with that blue color which did show up when we first got there with it being slightly brighter then :) I love him.<br />
A massive thank you to Dave for taking me i'm so grateful, Iv'e got my Birding mojo back lol My birding skills and knowledge will never be good but I enjoy the birds and that's all that matters to me is enjoying it :)<br />
No one is sure whether this bird will be accepted as a wild bird as they don't really migrate and saying its the wrong time of year and showing signs of a captive bird but to me the bird looked in very good condition but i'm far from an expert lol and to be honest I don't care as far as i'm concerned I have seen a Blue Rock Thrush in the wild :)<br />

A great start to the New year with New Years day just staying locally as bad weather and Dave not feeling too good, so we just got a few common year ticks but then late afternoon a report of a Waxwing came through in Hinckley which is just down the road so we checked it out but couldn't see him so we headed home but the next morning on the 2nd the report came through again with better directions so we headed over there and saw the Waxwing straightaway high up in the tree on the roundabout we waited and he flew into the berry trees near us the sun shining on him this was my best ever views I was over the moon :)<br />
The next day 19 was reported so we headed there after Stow-on-the-Wold and there they were in the tree on the island more had joined there was 23 now this just amazed me how just yesterday there was 1 now 23 lol I got to hear them call such a distinctive call and a few of them flew to the berry tree near us giving more nice views no photos today as weather was very dull.<br />
Been a brilliant couple of days I love Waxwings just hoping now we will get them in Warwickshire :)<br />
