A brief montage of the recently fledged kingfishers along the riverbed. Part of a local project I've been working on in the village, capturing the hidden life of this micro habitat.

All the more rewarding Nick because you are exploring your local patch and these fantastic images are the results of your patience and field craft.

The Juvenile Black Stork at rspb.bsky.social Boyton Marshes showed very well today while it foraged and fed along the dyke.

My birding highlights of a sunny afternoon walk between Kynance Cove and The Lizard, Cornwall, today were a flock of at least 10 Choughs, 2 Wheatears, Rock Pipits, Linnets and a Raven. #ukbirding

Hi Leigh.
@rspb.bsky.social Minsmere and Lakenheath Fen in Suffolk are two great reserves, as is Titchwell in Norfolk.
Cley Marshes in Norfolk is also fabulous (Norfolk Wildlife Trust).
You should see a range of passerine plus waders etc.

This Osprey youngster at Rutland Water looked close to fledging today.
Certainly lots of wing flapping flight prep going on!
It was fabulous to see the parents catching fish and feeding the chick.

Some glorious weather (at last!) for my late visit @btobirds.bsky.social Breeding Bird Survey on arable farmland in Suffolk. Yellowhammers, Skylark, Chiffchaff, Blackcaps, Chaffinch and Whitethroats were all very vocal, almost as if they were welcoming the sunshine with their song 🌞. #ukbirding

A lovely trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs today.
It was encouraging to see so many Gannets and Guillemots. #ukbirding

It was my first visit to #RSPB Ouse Fen, Cambs, over the weekend. A lovely reserve with reedbeds and pools. I had close views of the long staying Great Reed Warbler, that was constantly calling. Other highlights were a showy Grasshopper Warbler, 2 Marsh Harriers, Bittern and a Hobby. #ukbirding
