About Me

Hi! I'm Henry and I'm 13 years old. I live in Denbighshire, North Wales. I have a passion for Animals, Birds, Wildlife, Nature and Photography. I have started this blog to share some amazing wildlife! Hopefully I can educate some people on wildlife and learn some new stuff myself!

I'm lucky enough to live in a rural village with loads of wildlife on my doorstep! I like taking my dog, Max, for a walk and taking some photos whilst I'm out. I also enjoy taking pictures of my pet Tortoise, Turbo.

    Henry, my wife, "Della" introduced you to the Black Oyster Catchers here in Pebble Beach, California today. She was so pleased to make this introduction and to share with you the little BLOY chick that was hatched about 40 days ago. The chick will likely fledge VERY soon. You have a great and respected interest in wildlife. Continue to pursue this interest and enjoy the wonders of Nature. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to meet you. Roger

Waxwings

Image
Recently there have been waxwings in our local Aldi car park and I wanted to see them for myself to get a good photo. Waxwings are birds that winter in this country and travel here from Scandinavia. According to the Wildlife Trust, sometimes only 100 or so Waxwings come to the UK, but other years they come in their thousands and this is known as an irruption. I would would say this year must be an irruption year as they seem to have be spotted all over the country. Rowan berries are their favourite food, so supermarket car parks are always a good place to spot them (Not were I usually go to do my birdwatching!). These are the first ever Waxwings I have seen and it was an unforgettable experience. We arrived at the Aldi car park at about 8am (ish), just as we arrived, we saw someone driving off and thought maybe we were just out of luck and the Waxwings had moved on. At first we didn't see anything except a bush with quite a few berries, but a few moments later a flock of about 20 b

Spurn Bird Observatory Migfest 2023

 Last weekend we went to Spurn to attend Migfest for the 2nd year in a row. I was full of excitement and couldn't wait to see what we could find! It was a long 4 hour drive from school to Welwick but it was worth it. The air bnb was nice and had a hot tub, which was a bonus!  One of the things we did was go on a Unimog trip to The Point at Spurn. That trip held loads of amazing species like Merlins, Reed Bunting and Pied Wagtails. Also we briefly saw a Roe Deer! On the Sunday morning, I attended 2 Young Birder Activities, which were bird ringing and a youth walk. At the bird ringing, we got lucky! We ringed a Pied Flycatcher (my first ever one to see!), Goldcrest, Blackcap, Willow Warbler and Meadow Pipit. What a lovely variety! On the walk we were lucky enough to see a lot of nice species, including Water Rail, Golden Plover, Spoonbill, Little Grebe and Marsh Harrier. It was nice to go for a walk with other keen young birders. I also got a Rare Bird Alert account for free as I was

BTO Bird Camp Wales 2023 Part 1

 Recently I attended the 2023 BTO Bird Camp for Wales for the 2nd year in a row. A lot of the friends I met last year like Deri, Tyler, Gabe, Finn and more were there but there were also some new faces. We arrived at the same bunkhouse as last year and waited for everyone to arrive. After that we set up our rooms. I was sharing with Deri, Tyler and Finn. After setting up we headed to the yard and played a game to learn each others names. We had to throw a ball to someone and say their name. I think I was better at throwing than remembering everyone's names! For dinner we had a very nice chilli made by the BTO volunteers with guacamole and nachos. We then set some camp rules that everyone agreed on and signed it. That stayed on the wall for the rest of bird camp. Next up was the evening activity, Bat walk. Bob and Annie, the experts who were there last year did it with us and also another man (I told you I'm hopeless at names!), who was a bat expert, came along just for this act
