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.

Records from my flat - night singers

During the height of summer, and not least when it is extremely hot as it is at present, there is an almost complete absence of bird activity and bird song.

However, at 4.15 a.m., I was awake and able to hear the beautiful song of a male Song Thrush and also briefly a singing Robin.

Both species have resumed singing in my local area .... see here and here.
