North Wilts Ringing Group around Swindon, Salisbury Plain & Marlborough DownsIt's wonderful how much birds and nature enhance a walk, especially bird song. This year I have learnt the song of the Lesser Whitethroat and I now hear it everywhere! I even managed a distant photo early this morning.
Today's birding highlights: a vocal Cuckoo all morning, 3 Lesser Whitethroats on patch, GWhitethroats, Reed&Sedge Warblers, Lapwings, Yellowhammers, Treecreeper, Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Ravens, Buzzard, Kestel, 2 Oystercatchers, LBB Gulls, BH Gulls, HMartin, Swallows, GWagtail
Male Cuckoo feeding on Leatherjackets again today. Bodmin moor. @CBWPS1 #birdphotography #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024 #BirdsOfTwitter #NaturePhotography #birdwatching #TwitterNatureCommunity #Birds #birdwatching #naturelovers
Toasty afternoon #patchbirding 3 Pinkies, Swift, 2 Grey Plover, 11 Whimbrel, 7 Barwit, 3 Cattle Egret, 2 Marsh Harrier, 2 Sedge, 8 Reed, Gropper, 3 Cetti’s, Spot Fly, 2 Redstart, 4 Whinchat, 10 Wheatear, 6 Yellow Wag, Channel Wag…all in t-shirt weather 😎
Other highlights on a wonderful morning walk: close views of a Kingfisher, Linnets, Grey and Pied Wagtails, Skylarks, Goldcrests, Buzzards, Ravens, Kestrels, Cormorants, Great Crested Grebes, Swallows, Song and Mistle Thrushes and 9 Mute Swans flying over
Shortened walk today but I was excited to see a Whinchat in the wet field above the Mere, where I often see Stonechats. I have never seen a Whinchat in this area before. I didn't tick the hobby as there was some uncertainty but the Swift & Whinchat mean 103 for the yr in Marbury.
A nice surprise to find this drake Garganey on Sunday morning at Salthouse. It was dabbling in the marshy grass with the Teal. Cracking bird! @NWTCleyCentre
Highlight of a damp morning was finding a drake Garganey off the Iron Road, Salthouse. My first ever Garganey find😃. Reed Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat and stunning Barwit were my other damp highlights. @NWTCleyCentre
Doddington Pool has seen less and less Wheatear and Yellow Wagtails in recent years so it was delightful to see both with my brother this morning. Others Swift Raven Grey Wagtail Common Sand Oystercatcher Peregrine Skylark Whitethroat RL Partridge @CAWOSBirding
This really is my last tweet of the day, Thanks to Rob who said that this is a Hobby. I did wonder if it was one, as it had red underneath it, but after looking at the book comparing wing shapes I talked myself out of it! That would be 102 for the year in Marbury.
@pgilman1962 @CAWOSBirding Thanks for sending message so quickly. 2nd Cuckoo for me at Mere Farm with the 1st being a juvenile in Jul 21. Shame I didn’t have more time for a better look around
Lunchtime patch walk had me hopping and a skipping as a male Yellow Wagtail showed briefly. Hopefully it will reappear in the next few visits. Lots of Swallows and Sand Martins too today. 2 Wheatear, 4 Stonechat and 2 Whitethroats back and singing were good to see. 😃
Started the day with a dip on the Purple Heron, on to Cemlyn (winters back!) and then finished off at Porth y Mor. Whimbrel 32 B Guillemot 3 Guillemot x 10 Shag 1 RT Diver 1 Oystercatcher 7 Turnstone 2 R Plover x 1 Gannet 8 S Tern 4 Thrilled with the Whimbrel @AngBirdNews
@pgilman1962 @stevesealimages Ah - missed that Phillip. Great shot Steve!!
Nice post dash post work to acre nook for two year ticks in Arctic & Sandwich Tern. Other highlights 4 Shelduck, Gadwall, Swallow, S Martins & couple Bramblings @CAWOSBirding
Ring ouzel point blank langfields..Female about too. The field with the golf ball in it 😂
Fantastic day at Carsington Water today. 49 species including Little Gull, Great Northern Diver & Redshank. #Derbyshirebirdtours
A short clip of a Hoopoe at Mansands Devon this evening. @TorbayBirders @DevonBirds
Early mornings are always best for my birding, and was really lucky to see this Hen Harrier glide across the marsh at @NWTCleyCentre last week. No one else around. My own private viewing (until now 😂)
