Forum post: Join Chris Packham for ORCA's I-Spy Whales Trip 'Seabird Migration' - 24th-26th September

ORCA — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:58:00 GMT

ORCA, a leading UK whale and dolphin conservation charity in association with Brittany Ferries offers you an unforgettable opportunity to sight whales and dolphins in one of the World’s most renowned whale watching locations – ‘The Bay of Biscay Triangle’. We are now delighted to announce that Chris Packham will be joining us once again as a guest guide for the 'Seabird Migration' trip on
September 24th-26th!

This time of year will see the bird migration for many land birds as they cross the Bay to head for Africa. Species such as Cory’s and Sooty Shearwaters, Storm Petrels, Skuas and gulls can be seen taking the hazardous journey. You can watch from the comfort of the deck of a large ship!

Lucky you. Did you get a photo? We'd love to see it. I don't know their range for certain but I think they make it as far west as eastern Wales

Forum post: Missing Blog Posts link to Campfield Homepage - 13th May 2013

John & Judith Rogers — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:52:00 GMT

Two more of our Blog Posts which have clearly been published to my Blog, do not appear on the Campfield Homepage under "Latest Blog Post"!

Further to this, for a while now, all the blue links on our Home Page, link to the same files i.e. 'latest blog posts' instead of 'latest forum' and 'latest photos'. Could you kindly look at this issue too?

Can you help again?

Kind regards,

Judith Rogers

Reduce photo proportionally to pixel size to 1536 on the long edge. This is a good size for emails and posting to the web. You won't loose quality and it will enable fast uploading.

Forum post: Re: Magpies attacking blackbird nests

aiki — Fri, 03 May 2013 13:14:00 GMT

Yes, as Lolly says, Magpies and other corvids will predate any nest they find. It is upsetting to see, but it is part of our natural ecology. On average, a Blackbird pair has three broods of about five chicks a year, a high productivity which helps offset inevitable high losses to predators. If a nest is predated, the pair will hopefully learn from experience and make their next nest in a more concealed place. Blackbirds as a whole must be doing something right - since 1995 their population has increased by 23% in the UK, while Magpie numbers are slightly down over the same period.

The most useful thing that gardeners can do to improve the odds of Blackbirds nesting successfully is to ensure there are plenty of good nest-sites, in the form of really dense scrubby bushes and thickets.

Hi Rosemary welcome to the community

It's good to hear you're getting Siskin and Redpoll we would love to see photos if they hang around.

I've had three Redpolls and the odd Siskin for the last few days yet i hardly saw any when we had the Snow.

aiki — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:22:00 GMT

Yes, there are feral Black Swans (escapees from wildfowl collections) at a few places in the UK now, some of which are breeding. It is very possible the species will become fully naturalised in the wild here, as have various other exotic wildfowl species such as Egyptian Goose, Mandarin and Red-crested Pochard.
