Glossy Ibis Willington Wetlands this morning. I missed the influx earlier in the autumn (including 2 birds by about 30 minutes!) so it's brilliant to finally see one this year. Also 2 Marsh Harrier, 2 Cattle Egret, 2 Kingfisher & a Green Sandpiper @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #UKBirding #Birds

I love montane species and I love waders so couldn't resist going for the Burbage Moor juv Dotteral this morning. What a bird and a lifer!

A nice supporting cast of Golden Plover (over), Snipe, 2 Wheatear, 7+ Stonechat & a Merlin sparring with a Kestrel nearby @shefbirdstudy.bsky.social #UKBirding

A rare weekend off work(s) & a night away in Staithes - probably my best shore cetacean watching ever on our walk to Runswick with a single Minke & great views of c12 Bottlenose Dolphin. 2 Little Gull, 3 Sandwich Tern, Kittiwakes, Fulmars & lots of Guillemots @whalesorg.bsky.social #UKBirding

Lovely amble around @nottswildlife.bsky.social Attenborough NR this morning - 2 Common Sandpiper, 2 Caspian Gull & 8+ Snipe on the Clifton Pit the highlights with good numbers of Egrets & wildfowl. Loving the new covered platform at the back of the pit 👍 #UKBirding #Birds

Fab walk at Willington Wetlands with a top group this morning - it was a 'heron' day with a fly-by Bittern the star bird & several Great & Little Egret & Grey Heron with 2 Kingfisher, 2 Green Sandpiper, 10+ Swift, a YL Gull & lots of lovely Lapwings 😊 @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social ##UKBirding

Definitely not the best video but some nice waders at Carsington Water this morning - a superb summer plumaged Grey Plover with 3 Dunlin & a Curlew on the dam wall with a supporting cast of juvenile Med Gull & Spotted Flycatcher @derbyswildlife.bsky.social @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #UKBirding

Curlew from a short wander in the White Peak this morning - even better were 2 full grown juveniles nearby! My favourite Wheatear territory is now empty so looks like no 2nd brood this year (looking forward to March return already 🤞). Good no's of Skylark still around! #UKBirding #DerbyshireBirds

A typical summer day at #lockopark today - great to see a year best c50 Swallows (with juvs), 12 Buzzard included a min of 4 neat (but loud) juvs, a juvenile Sparrowhawk, 2 Kestrel, Oystercatcher, 3 Grey Heron, 2 GS Woodpecker, 2 Yellowhammer & 8 Mandarin #UKBirding #DerbyshireBirds #Birds

Brilliant full day tour of some great #Derbyshire sites with a fab American client today - highlights included Kingfishers, Dippers, Spotted & Pied Flycatchers, Marsh Harrier, Red Kite, Common Terns, Redshanks, juv Oycs, Woodpeckers, male Bullfinch & lots of warblers! #UKBirding #DerbyshireBirds
