Pevensey Levels and Sussex birder, occasional twitches, natural history
Very lucky to work a local patch with farmers who are wildlife and bird minded. These Glossy Ibis were found yesterday while they were lookering and still present today on Horseeye Level #UKBirding

A couple of proper pics rather than digiscopes of the 2cym RFF on Pevensey Levels this lunchtime. Not seen since about 13.30 but hopefully still around #RareBirdsUK #UKbirding

Bewicks have always held a special place in my heart. Spent some quality time with the Walland Marsh birds today. iPhone video just captures their soft chickenesque calling
