Lovely young dotterel dropped in for a visit on its migration south these last two days. It seems fairly chilled and happy to rest for a while. #houndkirkmoor #sheffield

#FirstBirdIfMyDay calling lesser black backed gulls flying at sunrise from their city centre river roost over my area at 5am to the reservoirs at the south east of the city. Same yesterday but a bit later with a large orange sun as the backdrop looking like a scene from lion king

Well a member of my local bird group recorded this blackbird singing Barbie Girl this morning. And my clever friend @britishfilmstardom.bsky.social created the video below. 💕

#FirstBirdOfMyDay a leucesistic magpie on my way to survey swifts with Chet very early this am. Unfortunately it flew off onto a far roof with light behind it before could get my camera out. Never seen this before. Photo not great but general Impression

This wk I watched a male blackbird sneaking into a ring ouzel nest to feed the RO chicks. Parent ROs kept chasing it off but BB persistent and kept coming back with food when ROs left nest to forage. Strong urge to feed chicks.

Very interesting first bird yesterday. A blackbird desparate to feed ring ouzel chicks. Despite being chased away by RO parents it kept the same food for over an hour until it got a chance to pop in and feed them. He fed them 3 times during my 4 hr minitor.
