The last of 'my' #Swifts left this weekend - good job as they were leaving it late & there were signs 👀⬇️that they were getting a bit big for the box! Such a privilege to have them & it blows my mind that the next time the babies land it will be to raise young of their own! 🤯 @rspb.bsky.social

For today's #Crapbirdphotooftheday I bring you the best possible end to this season's #Curlew surveys for @rspbengland.bsky.social in the Forest of Bowland #ClaphamCluster - a Curlew chick being diligently guarded by a parent (out of shot!) & later taking flight 🥳❤️

Another weekend and another @rspbengland.bsky.social #Curlew productivity survey - and although numbers are starting to drop now there are definitely still a few pairs guarding young - and 1 chick seen which is a rare treat!

Highlights of this week's surveys were the discovery of an Oystercatcher nest in which a chick had started to chip it's way out of the first of three eggs, and a #Woodcock survey feat. many thousands of midges.... and an actual Woodcock @btobirds.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

Out yesterday evening almost ahead of the 🌧️ to check on a #Curlew nest on Colin's farm. Chicks have hatched, and - judging by how thoroughly I was being yelled at by two angry parents - they are alive and well 🙏 🤞 @rspbengland.bsky.social

A big fat fail to deliver for #Crapbirdphotooftheday 😢 So much is wrong with this image. I mean... it's well lit, it's fairly in focus and there's absolutely no question that this is a Goldfinch. Must try harder! 😂 @penrhynbirder.bsky.social
