Birdwatching in London โ€“ The birds I saw and heard

I recently visited London with my huge microphone and camera to see what birds I could find. The last time I visited was in 2004 and it rained every day. This time I got lucky with sunshine!

This blog posts shows where I went to see birds and how it was for bird photography and audio recording.

A casual birdwatcher’s visit to Spain and Portugal

I recently returned from a pleasant vacation to Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. Our travel style is very unstructured and involves lots of on-foot exploration with visits to historical landmarks.

Birding isnโ€™t our main reason for travel but we looked for birds everywhere we went and visited a few spots specifically to see them.
