Common Rosefinch, Martin Down, Hampshire 23/05/26 - a great find this morning by SK and showing well until early afternoon with a brief reappearance this evening. The first twitchable Rosefinch in Hampshire. @HOSbirding
Yesterday, I woke to a message from @MarkFra64259515 who had found this cracking adult White-winged Black Tern off Hill Head. It frequented the offshore feeding frenzy with a Black Tern for most of the morning at least. @HOSbirding
Nice to find an adult White Winged Black Tern off Hill Head this morning lingering around in the feeding flock. Might be an ok photo with a bit of editing 😂@HOSbirding @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides
Our first returning Turtle Dove was as captured on one of our trail cameras on the 5th May - so good to see with a sigh of relief! @SaveTurtleDoves @_BTO @HOSbirding
Honey Buzzard-adult male-white morph-New Forest Monday 11/05/26 this individual does tend to arrive earlier than most Honey’s on Forest, nice to get an early bird to settle the nerves for the season ahead, + an adult White-tailed Eagle.

American Golden Plover, Hook-with-Warsash LNR, Hampshire (01/04/26). We have been lucky with species in Hampshire for the last two years - I have seen one in both April 2025 & 2026. Although this years bird is more distant & the photo below is heavily cropped. My 6th in Hants.

Hampshire Bird Report 2024 review The latest annual report from the Hampshire Ornithological Society is as impressive as ever, says David Campbell: bit.ly/3Nv3wEe
A memorable encounter with this Great Grey Shrike over the w/end in the New Forest, watching it hunting Lizards and Beetles amongst the Gorse and then spearing them onto spikes of hawthorn.

Black-necked Grebes at Keyhaven Marsh today feasting on Caddisfly larvae. @HOSbirding @hiwwt @BirdGuides @BBCSpringwatch #grebes
A fine looking drake Ring-necked Duck eventually showed well at Fleet Pond, Hampshire mid afternoon today. @HantsIWWildlife @HOSbirding
Lovely to catch up with @SBO_Jason at Farlington Marshes, where we had a Norwegian colour-ringed Rock Pipit ‘X9Z’. Ringed at More og Romsdal, Norway in August 2020 and travelled 1434 km to overwinter at Farlington. Recorded at Farlington each winter since.
Ferruginous Duck at Brownwich Pond near Titchfield, Hants on Friday afternoon. What a handsome bird! It was with a few tufties and there was also a drake Goosander present. @HOSbirding @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK
I wouldn’t normally post such poor quality photos but a Great Shearwater as, I think, a first confirmed for Hampshire was quite an event today. Nice scope views off of Calshot but sadly too far for anything other than a couple of record shots. @HOSbirding @HantsIWWildlife
Green-winged Teal this afternoon at Langstone, Hants. It was in the sea with other wildfowl and waders, and after a while flew into the pond behind me for a bit then onto a nearby flooded field. Nice to meet @JaySee_Birding the finder. @HOSbirding @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides
We had a perfect day @titchfieldhaven Saturday. This Sanderling was colour ringed. Project response. Ringed NE Greenland (75.18298, -19.76899) 14 07 25 incubating 3 eggs. Late brood hatched 30 07 25. Seen Netherlands (Waden Sea) 22 08 25. A voyager. @HOSbirding @hantsconnect
