Too hot to bird at the moment! Non-birding highlight was getting great views of a Bottlenose Dolphin which has inexplicably chosen to linger off of Canvey Island in the Thames Estuary last weekend. Excellent photos can be seen on the Southend Ornithological Group (SOG) website.
Surfbirds has just added a cool feature that allows birders to upload videos. I haven't used the video option on my CoolPix that much, but have added a few 'videoscoped' movies from my time in the US. The quality isn't great, but they show some pretty cool behaviour including 'spinning' Wilson's Phalaropes, lekking Sage Grouse, and a pair of Pied-billed Grebes feeding young. They can be found on this page - enjoy!
