I have been in research mode for the last few days checking out my
growing list of regular haunts of species that are good to locate during tours. A Great Northern Diver is an interesting resident in the harbour at present! I thoroughly enjoy the whole process of guiding from the planning stage to
showing clients the birds and compiling a trip report. Link Dorset Bird Tours
The Heights Hotel has already booked my services for 2025 which
will also include attending next years bird fair to promote hotel and private bird tours!
On a personal note I have decided to spread my wings and start
travelling again. I have booked a self planned trip to Morocco and look forward
to winding my way across the Atlas Mountains in search of new birds! I am also
hoping to join Pete Alfrey in Bulgaria later and catch up with Pavel who runs
Bed and Birding!
Back on the home front the Farm is quiet at this time of year with
one more breeding survey to complete. It will be interesting to compare the results
with last year having had so much rain this year! I will also spend some time
walking the fields listening out for Quail!
The moth light is being put out on favourable nights and I have
logged over 60 species since I bought my own trap a few months ago!
I am still training but it is unlikely I will continue officiating
next season. I want to spend more time developing my tours and
travelling to improve my knowledge of Western Palearctic birds!
