SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

Which quarantine vulture are you?

Vultures are much maligned but they are beautiful in their own way and deserving of protection.

There are 4 species of vulture in Europe: Black Vulture (or Cinerous Vulture), Griffon Vulture, Egyptian Vulture and Lammergeier (or Bearded Vulture). I have been fortunate to see all 4 species on my trips to southern and eastern Europe.
