Another really strong set this week! Three or four of these could be a winner on another week but also it’s a worthy winner. 🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏
Eye-to-eye contact with an exotic subject wins Jeremy McClements today's Photo of the Week:

Very high tide = lots of waders on my @webs-gsmp.bsky.social count in Chichester Harbour. A glorious day but I think t-shirt weather in November is not a sign of a healthy planet! Several passers by looked through my scope (for the first time) and were blown away by the density of birds.

Superb work! 🔥
Here’s the finished Siberian Thrush drawing. Bringing it to life on paper was a great way to relieve the memories of a really special bird!

I think bluesky needs a #BirdID feed. So I built one.
To start it off, and topical to the #irishrarebirds feed, a blog post on Tundra and Taiga Bean Goose identification.

One of today’s #BirdOfTheDay themes is #fluffy.
I’ve always liked this Northern Yellow Warbler (newly split) photo I took in Wisconsin a few years ago.

Tonight was the first night of the Sound & Light show to celebrate 950 years of Chichester cathedral. I thought it was fantastic, really cool and well done. A must see if you’re in the area. #chichester

The Pec Sand & photographer is such a fun shot.
Sometimes a bird's surroundings make all the difference in creating a memorable image, as this week's Peregrine Falcon Photo of the Week winner by Paul Gerard shows:

Not surprisingly there was a smaller than usual turnout for our Chichester RSPB Group walk at Pulborough Brooks this morning, but the birds were active before the rain came. Redpolls, Redwings & Fieldfare, Ruff, Golden Plover & Peregrine amongst the highlights. And the reserve needs the rain!

The long staying Osprey at Arundel performed as requested for the Tuesday Birders this morning, at one point flying right over our heads. Two juvenile Hobbies were also on The Hanger. Redpolls, Redwing, Coal Tit, Cattle Egret and Mandarin Duck were amongst the other goodies. #birds #sussexbirds

My new tour starts in ONE WEEK! Very excited to get back out on the road with this show. To be brutally honest, sales have been lower than I would have hoped after last year's tour, but I know times are tough and there are a lot of people on tour at the moment! 1/2

It was eyes to the skies for the Chichester RSPB Group at Pagham this morning. Two Hobbies gave great & prolonged views, & Peregrine and Sparrowhawk were seen in the same airspace. 2 Green Sandpipers, 2 Snipe, female Marsh Harrier and a Fox on Ferry Pool. Lots of Stonechat activity as well.

An Osprey was a nice consolation for missing the Little Stint at Pagham North Walls late morning. And finally got a chance to connect with some of the Curlew Sandpiper influx (4). My first Brent Geese (3) of the autumn as well. A nice variety with 65 species seen.
