Red backed shrike video

bird, Canvey, EssexBy Neil-UKWildlifeNovember 25, 20131 Comment

Here is a video from back in September of the Juvenile red backed shrike that stayed for a few days at West Canvey Marshes. This was the only day with good weather I could get over to see it, early one morning. It was sat in a bush so I put the Pentax Q on…

Red backed shrike eats migrant hawker dragonfly

bird, EssexBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 8, 20131 Comment

As regular readers know, I spent some time last week photographing a red backed shrike. The juvenile bird was around for a few days and was sometimes seen feeding. One foggy morning I was waiting for the fog to clear and it dived into a bush and caught something. It was a migrant hawker dragonfly!…

I’ve been visiting the local red backed shrike and had another go this morning. These are best I managed. (please note Bowers Marsh is not yet open top the public)

Red backed shrike on Bowers Marsh

bird, Essex, RSPB Bowers MarshBy Neil-UKWildlifeSeptember 1, 2013Leave a comment

I heard today that there was a red backed shrike locally, but I could not go anywhere till 5.30pm. Luckily my friend Dave was available to show me where it was and took me to see it. The light was awful at 6.45pm when it eventually showed for us, the sort of conditions where having…

Intermediate pine borer Buprestid Beetle Chalcophora intermedia, woodchat shrike + giant centipede

beetles, bird, Greece, insect, Kefalonia, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 29, 2012Leave a comment

On the same trip to Argostoli as my last post, I also explored the small wooded area around the visitor centre there (which isn’t advertised anywhere for some reason!?). As I walked along the path a beetle the size of a stag beetle flew right past me, which I have to admit gave me quite…

Argostoli, Kefalonia: yellow legged gull, woodchat shrike and loggerhead turtle

bird, Greece, gull, Kefalonia, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeMay 5, 20125 Comments

On my visit to Kefalonia 2 years ago I spent a half day in the capital Argostoli. In the harbour there were a number of yellow legged gulls. Walking along the shore path I came across the first shrike I had ever seen, a woodchat shrike. The harbour is famous for the tame loggerhead turtle.…

Southern grey shrike and atlantic lizard

bird, Lanzarote, ReptileBy Neil-UKWildlifeOctober 9, 20112 Comments

Some more photos from Lanzarote.  Walking along the seafront path in Puerto del Carmen I could here a loud and unfamiliar call coming from a bush.  I had a look around the bush and there, less than 50cm from the ground and a couple of metres in front of me was a southern grey shrike.…
