It is very apparent to patch birders in the east that the numbers, distribution and migration patterns of several winter visitors are rapidly changing as the climate warms. They don’t get talked about much though. 🤷♂️ 1/2

Went for a second viewing of the Lesser Scaup on Saturday at Rushden. Wasn't expecting to see a bonus redhead Smew on the lake opposite. Seemed to have gone by the next day #northantsbirds #birds #ukbirding

Saw my first Smew in 1972 aged 12 and was sufficiently smitten to make my own.

Smew, Smew, Barnacle Goose, Blackbird, Dipper and Chough.
Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Smew!
A rare and late winter visitor, these small, striking birds are a treat to spot on UK lakes.
Males sport a 'panda-like' black-and-white plumage, while females show off a chestnut cap.
Keep an eye out for these stylish divers! 😍

A trip out to Leics & Northants - the AGP showed well and there were a nice couple of redhead Smew. The afternoon finished with brief distant views of the rather elusive Lesser scaup at Ditchford GPs. #Birding #Twitching
