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.

Protecting Norfolk's first-ever colony of breeding European Bee-eaters

I have previously written about this summer's nesting European Bee-eaters at Trimingham in north east Norfolk .... see here, here and here.

I visited the site at the end of June 2022 .... see here.

After the successful fledging of 5 chicks from 2 nests, all the birds have now left the site to commence their return migration south.

Here is a short RSPB film telling the story of the remarkable and successful breeding of European Bee-eaters in the UK.

Slava Ukraini! …. Glory to Ukraine !
