You never know what's going to turn up. 23 Crossbills and a lifer in the way of a Female Hen Harrier.

A couple of hours were spent locally today. Goosander is a new local one for me and a Pochard. Also, a controversial lifer, for me, being a Ring Necked Parakeet.

Cracking day at Snettisham today, starting with a Leucistic Oyster Catcher, then a very obliging Red Necked Phalarope. Teamed up with @mattdenial.bsky.social to find the Greater Short-toed Lark. Then nipped to see the Lesser Yellow Leg.

Had the absolute pleasure of watching @alanball101.bsky.social ringing some of the local birds at the weekend. They are a lot smaller close up.

Having seen the Pectorial Sandpiper at #rspbsnettisham last week at a distance. One popped up at #rspbfrieston, so I made my way over. Meeting @mattdenial.bsky.social on the way and we got fantastic views and perfect light and I managed this photo.

Very quiet at the minute in the trap. A couple of new visitors this time. A Garden Rose Tortrix and a Flame Carpet. That's the 3rd of each of these species.

Managed a cracking photo of a Wood Sandpiper at @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social. We need more rain as water levels are very low. But still plenty to look out for.

Reflecting over my year so far. I've been very lucky and feel grateful for what I've seen and new people I've met along the way.
Bring on the autumn.

Had an amazing time moth trapping at #Gibraltarpoint yesterday morning. Privet Hawk, and Buff Tip being my favourite. Thank you @lincswildlife.bsky.social the breakfast was amazing. Keep an eye out for the next event.
Then between the rain, managed to see my first Grasshopper Warbler.
