Record shot of one of the Great Northern Divers seen this morning at Staines Reservoir. A very smart bird in summer plumage and it was nice to watch it peering under the water checking for prey. First Yellow Wag and Swift of the year too - with @jim-rose.bsky.social.

It was warblers galore early this morning at Otmoor with @jim-rose.bsky.social. Highlights were reeling Groppers, Garden Warbler, Cuckoo, and a booming Bittern. There were Sedge Warblers all over the place and we got some cracking views later in the morning when they started to show.

Getting out in the garden this weekend? One of the best things you can do for butterflies is to let your lawn grow wild! 🌱🌼

Cuach Cores is back! 😀 November was the last time we received a signal from him before he re-appeared on 8 April in western Algeria! He is now crossing the Sahara in earnest! 🌞 This time last year, he was still in Nigeria, not arriving in Europe until the end of April. #Ornithology 🌍

Another beautiful morning at Marshside, counted 3 different Whitethroat singing along Hesketh Road, and Reed Warbler was singing again from the platform. Blackcaps, ChiffChaff, Willow Warbler, and Greenfinch! What a great time of year.

1 of 3 Med Gulls seen this afternoon amongst Black-headed Gulls, whilst walking our dog. 12,998 steps.

Early morning visits yesterday to Hesketh Out Marsh and today to Marshside, highlights were Spotted Redshank and Greenshank at HOM and my first Reed Warbler and Whitethroat of the year at Marshside. Back home in time for swimming lessons!

32 bird species recorded on a beautiful evening dog walk tonight, highlights were male Yellowhammer and Snipe. 11,334 steps.

Reconnecting and it seems like a good time to try Bluesky. Record shot of a Wheatear in a tree, taken last week.
