CommentsBirders, Deployed
The AOS is delighted to be featured in the February edition of Bird Watching magazine in Amanda Tuke’s 30-Minute Birder column in which our Hon Sec, Maj Richard Seargent, talks about some his birding experiences whilst on deployment.
The article also features stories from our sister service organisations, the RNBWS and the RAFOS.
If you’re not a Bird Watching subscriber then be sure to pick up your copy, which is out now!
CommentsSomerset Levels
Another great field day with a joint AOS/RNBWS trip to the Somerset Levels on Saturday 5 February which included Shapwick Heath, Greylake, Westhay, Ham Wall and other sites in and around the Avalon Marshes. At least 60 species were seen as a group with the undoubted highlight being the Baikal Teal (a vagrant from Eastern Russia and Asia) at Greylake; a lifer for most of us.
Other notables included Tundra Bean Goose, a drake Ring-necked Duck (a vagrant from North America), Cattle Egret and Great Egret. One lucky observer had a Merlin over at Shapwick.
Not much photography was going on in the group so nothing spectacular to show you.
Thirteen members attended in total, including four from the Royal Navy.
