Enjoy birding, mostly in the Midlands with regular jaunts to East Anglia!
The Dotterel showed really well, if distantly, at Cefn Cadlan, Glamorgan earlier this week with Wheatear, Skylarks & Meadow Pipits enhancing the experience. #UKbirding #birdingWales

It was worth the 'joy' of the A14 to see the Spotted Sandpiper at Grafham Water today. Lifer for me!🤩
Also, Whinchat, Wheatear & Common Sandpiper close by.

Good to see the male Ring Ouzel still at Burton Hastings (13/4), when I eventually found the right sheep field!🙂 #warksbirds #ukbirding @birdingcentral.bsky.social

First ever trip to Abberton Reservoir on 30th. Lots to see &, although missed some reported birds, it was a great day birding. My highlights Slavonian & BN Grebe, Gt White-fronted Goose, Black-tailed Godwit, Green Sandpiper, smart Grey Wagtail & a plethora of pochard! #ukbirding #essexbirding

Enjoyable couple of hours birding in the lanes around Shenton this p.m. Highlights for me a Brambling with a flock of Chaffinch, plus Yellowhammer, Greenfinch, GS & Green Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Fieldfare, Redwing, Jay & a Kestrel on an unexpected perch! #vc55birds #ukbirding

Sadly birding cut short as fog descended on Rutland Water, but luckily not before seeing the Red-necked Grebe & Great Northern Diver near the dam. Also a gorgeous group of Goldeneye with some males already doing their head flinging thing - how I envy those flexible necks 😀 #ukbirding #vc55birds

Great to see Velvet Scoter so close at Grimsbury Reservoir, Oxon! #ukbirding

Scanning the area from upstairs window this a.m. when to my amazement a hawfinch landed in a nearby tree top. Stayed less than a minute before flying SE so no chance to get camera which, of course, was downstairs! #warksbirds #ukbirding
