Excellent video Rich and a nice way to feedback to comment - I may just nick that idea for myself!! Bravo!! Incidentally, Ali and I took a holiday in Lanzarote in June and we were amazed to see the white egrets, in pairs, walking in and out of shops, bold as you like and many of them throughout the island. Is that a migratory stop over? Indigenous or ? Thanks

@@HeliShed Hi Mick! Thanks for your comments. Iv’e not been to Lanzarote but there is a big colony of Cattle Egrets there so maybe that’s what you got? I’ve seen photos of them in car parks and on cars so maybe they’re getting brave and doing some shopping. 🤣🤣🤣

As a Brit, who has done Canada coast to coast, Alaska, the Eastern Seaboard and most of Europe, I wonder how you feel when you see a rare bird in Blighty, that you had seen elsewhere. I just returned from North Norfolk, where they delighted in Great White Egrets (previously seen in Hungary and Wales), Cattle Egrets and Spoonbills (both seen previously in Portugal). I also went birding in Madeira, and the local guide got immensely excited. We dashed across the island at breakneck speed, to see a first for the island. With high hopes of some rarity, all I could see was a humble Chaffinch. Exactly, he replied, the first ever Chaffinch on Madeira. I did not have the heart to tell him I have four in my back garden here in London.

Hi Rich, would you go for the Rare Bird Alert SMS messages and website or the full package. Thanks in advance.

@S2SBirda 9 ай бұрын

Hi Peter, I use BirdGuides but I guess whatever system suites your budget. I know your fairly new to birding and it’s not a bad idea to have one of these alerts but there is much to explore and get to grips with for you than chasing rarity. If used wisely these are great resources for what’s about but my advice would be to go explore and discover. There are so many discoveries out there for you, spring birds and passage birds soon to arrive, heathland, farmland, sea and estuary plus the wonderful seabird colonies to visit. Seeing rare birds is wonderful and you can do both but remember to put time in and continue to familiarise yourself with what’s common and local and most of all enjoy your journey. Hope that helps.

@peterlittle6651 9 ай бұрын
