    It was a grey, wet day on the 11th. of January, and I didn’t have much time. So I decided to take the car for a short trip to some sites around local lake. It felt a bit like cheating my Low Carbon Birding efforts, but I needed to get out of my rut. The…

    A very rainy and windy morning. It was my chance to go birding today, but with the weather this bad I gave up. Without a camera or recorder, in dark, cold and wet weather doesn’t make too much sense. In stead, I started to look at the number of birds found in the various locations…

    Went for a walk with the children today, through the forest to the local lake and back, 5,5 km – it took us 2 hours. I was allowed to record a Goldcrest in the forest – but according to the children it clearly wasn’t supposed to be a bird trip. I am still trying out…
