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.

Essex Bird Report 2021 .... male Pied Flycatcher

My photo of a male Pied Flycatcher at my St. Nicholas Church local patch site on 13th April 2021 has been included in the Essex Bird Report 2021 published by the Essex Birdwatching Society.

My record was one of only two of this passage migrant species for Essex during the spring of 2021.
