November, Lamington National Park - a highland ridge of pristine rainforest. These are some of the birds that call it home.
A celebration of birding and natural history, generally within a 10 mile radius of Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, UK. It would be great if you wanted to share your Ely 10 birding news, experiences, photos, art and video through this blog. Please contact hairyfolkster@gmail.com with your post or to join the authorship, I'll get you on the list quicker than a fly over Alpine Swift.

Going Dutch
A short video of a weekend birding trip to the Netherlands - just over an hour from Ely to Harwich, a relaxing cruise over the North Sea and the delights of winter birding in the Lowlands lie ahead. This trip did have the exceptional draw of a drake Spectacles Eider off Texel. A fantastic looking bird that each of us have always wanted to see but never thought we'd have the opportunity. The bird met all our expectations and we returned to some favourite spots to enjoy the spectacle of geese, eagles and Dutch winter birding.
