If you want to avoid traffic and parking issues, arrive at the beach by 9:30 a.m. during nice spring weather. It’s worth it!

Stunning - the Common Redpoll for its second day (by Mark Breaks)

Ready to go - the first Kittiwake released by Jason
Three in a box - Kittiwakes ready for release - safe and soundWednesday 31st March Comments:
It was another wild day, with driving rain and strong easterly winds. The Kittiwake saga came to a very satisfying conclusion as all eight survived the night and flew strongly out to sea at dawn. It was great work from Jason and the team, helping these birds through the night (I’m sure they would not have survived if we hadn’t intervened). The majority of our seabirds were very scarce today – it’ll be several days before we see them back again, such is the nature of the storm.
Although the seabirds were scarce – something replaced them – migrants and lots of them. The weather had grounded good numbers of common migrants with a sprinkling of rarer species including a stunning Bluethroat and an impressive nine Black Redstarts. Due to the weather (mainly the sea state), no other islands were checked but we did wonder what was out on the other islands, especially Staple Island and Brownsman…
Highlights (Inner Farne only): Long-tailed Duck 8, Goldeneye male, Lapwing adult, Snipe 3, Purple Sandpiper 60, Wood Pigeon 1 (a scarce visitor!), Dunnock 8, Rock Pipit 2 very smart summer plumage Litteralis birds lingering, Grey Wagtail west, Bluethroat (potential ‘white-spotted’), Black Redstart 9, Robin 20+, Stonechat, Wheatear 3, Song Thrush 7, Blackbird 3, Chiffchaff 5, Willow Warbler 2 (earliest ever Farnes record), Blackcap male (joint earliest ever Farnes record), Common Redpoll for second day, Chaffinch 13 and Reed Bunting.

Every second of every day, one of us makes a decision to spread our proverbial wings and travel. Usually a fair number of questions accompany that decision. Whether one is a seasoned traveler or a first-timer, sorting out the many details can be a daunting task.
Whether one is a seasoned traveler or a first-timer, sorting out the many details can be a daunting task.
Venturing out into unknown territory can throw up several roadblocks when we aren’t sure where to find the information we want and/or need. Enter Nomadic Matt and his latest e-book: Nomadic Matt’s Secrets To Successful World Travel. Weighing in at 140 pages, it may appear to be a hefty read. In reality, it is well worth the time and the $20.00USD purchase price.
About The Author:
Matt has been on the road for over three years while blogging about his travels for two (and counting). His blog earns enough to keep him in perpetual motion. His first e-book, How to Make Money with Your Travel Blog, has also aided in keeping Matt on the move. Now he’s back with his newest release.
The Review:
Nomadic Matt’s Secrets To Successful World Travel is divided into four chapters: Pre-Trip Planning, On the Road, Coming Home and Frequently Asked Questions. Each section is packed full of useful information and links to important websites. Matt has included commentary on his own travel experiences, which makes this book a very cohesive piece of work. He has addressed issues from packing lists to regional daily costs to banking to airline reservations.
Throw in the unexpected things of motivation, travel behavior and the “readjustment blues” and very few questions will be left unanswered.
Throw in the unexpected things of motivation, travel behavior and the “readjustment blues” and very few questions will be left unanswered. I think I only came up with one though can’t remember it now…
This e-book is designed for everyone – not only the “newbie” stepping out of the front door for the first time. Need a recommendation for a backpack, it’s in there. Looking to volunteer, it’s covered. Regardless of your wants/needs – you’re sure to find what you’re looking for somewhere within it’s depths. Oops, almost forgot to mention – the design work is as awesome as the information.
