How I dipped the Horned Grebe

10,000 Birds

…or, how critical are you in twitch or dip situations? Here is one example. In the Old World, Horned (Slavonian) Grebe breeds in a wide belt stretching from Scandinavia to Kamchatka and it spends winters along sea coasts, from Japan to China and from Norway to France, plus the Adriatic and the Black Sea (west and east of the Balkans, respectively).

Bufflehead in Maine and Florida

10,000 Birds

Within one week, I saw Bufflehead over 1,200 miles apart, first in Maine, and then along the Florida Panhandle. For my post this week, I wanted to take a moment to marvel at the impressive range of this super cool species. Bufflehead are black and white ducks, the male sporting a large white patch on an otherwise black head. They breed in Canada and Alaska, but in the summer they can be found across the United States, as far south as Florida, Cuba, and into Mexico, and as far north as the Pacifi

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of December 2015)

10,000 Birds

The title of warmest year on record currently belongs to 2014 , but the crown may pass in just a few weeks to the present year. Considering how cold the area I live in usually is, this balmy December suits me fine. But I wonder how these trends are impacting every other species on Earth… yes, sometimes I can think of someone besides myself!

Australian Painted Snipe

10,000 Birds

The Australian Painted Snipe – Rostratula australis is one of the hardest shorebirds/waders to find in Australia and very little is known about them at all. In fact we never really expected to observe one around Broome at all and the first encounter could not have come at a better time. I successfully spotted a pair of Australian Painted Snipe on Grant’s birthday 24th April 2011 and I only mention the date, because that is significant to the situation.

Things I didn’t know that I didn’t know about British bees

10,000 Birds

It is probably a safe bet that readers at 10,000 Birds relish field guides irrespective of their subject. Birdie books will obviously take precedence, but a well written, lavishly illustrated guide is a thing of beauty whatever the discipline. Steve Falk gives authoritative accounts and Richard Lewington provides the detailed illustrations in the Field Guide to the Bees of Great Britain and Ireland (a British Wildlife Guide published by Bloomsbury ).
