@elocbirder Thanks for sharing, Mark. We've re-shared to our Insta and FB accounts, crediting you accordingly.
Keeping up with the locals @forestofbowland @Natures_Voice
Spot the whimbrel!! 4 whimbrel amongst the 103 curlew @GrimsarghWT tonight. Lovely to see the whimbrel arriving but sad to see the curlew numbers going down as they are heading off to their breeding grounds as far away as Finland 🥰. Also a Little ringed Plover in this photo too
RB Goose, Greenshank, Yellow Wagtail and c50 White Wagtail on Crossens Outer, Marshside
Morning and still present for its fourth day, the Isle of May Hoopoe :)
Had to tear myself away from the local Ring Ouzel fest this morning. 13 Wheatear in the same area.
Brilliant to see this Woodchat shrike at Tanybwlch, Aberystwyth this morning. Great find by @rosahicks_wild
I couldn't believe it when @Flickamatuta texted me earlier today with a report of his latest find - ten minutes later and I was watching it, a cracking male Pied Flycatcher in the Tawd Valley, right in the middle of town. I need a lie down! Awesome find, Mike 👍
#Swift colony saved! 🥳 And a thread that will hopefully inspire others to bring about similar conservation success stories...
A whimbrel roosting with 167 Curlew @GrimsarghWT tonight 😍 what an amazing wetland!! With @elocbirder @RichardduFeu
Todd’s Canada, Tundra Bean, 1w Euro Whitefront, 11 Eider, 3 Barnacle best of Banks Marsh this am
On my local patch this morning on the urban fringe, secured my first wheatear of the year. Other sightings included one of the Little owls and a flock of 214 Golden plover (always look forward to April when the numbers really build up here). #eastlancsbirds #waltonspire
1w Euro Whitefront (different bird from yesterday), and Hen Harrier highlights from Banks - way too windy again!
A few phonescopes from an excellent day out in the Brecks. Other highlights included singing Firecrests, Goshawk, Woodlarks and lots of Bramblings.
Nose to beak with this stunner in me #Longridge garden yesterday. Soundtrack provided by @BBC6Music #Brambling
2CY Caspian Gull roosted Fishmoor Res. Med Gull heard and an ad drake Common Scoter present, but no hoped-for Kittiwake. #Lancs
Luke hitting the ground running with our first description species of the year - a great start! With winds touching force 11 today, it might be regretting its decision...
Nice to find this Woodlark this afternoon after the rain stopped @FI_Obs . Hopefully a good precursor for the rest of the season !
7 species of wader @GrimsarghWT tonight - Curlew, Lapwing, Oystercatchers, Redshank, Dunlin Snipe and Black-tailed godwit! Wow what an amazing place!!
