Welcome to the world little ones. This young Avocet, freshly hatched, hasn't quite got control over its feet yet.
Thanks to @Seatonbirder for the news of this Garganey at Black hole marsh, Seaton, Devon today.
14sec video clip of yesterday’s Blue-headed Wagtail at Sennen, Cornwall. Proper little Bobby Dazzler in the late evening sunshine. Found by @raoulhumph
The neck of it… This morning’s Great White Egret at Marazion Marsh, Cornwall. The last bird reported here was 21st April, so I’m assuming this is a new one in. The blackish bill colour and narrow green around the rear of the eye look very similar to the recent Walmsley bird.…
Fantastic video from one of our Osprey nest locations of a bird circling over the shoreline. It was observed fishing and feeding on the riverbank pines. It probably won’t stay for long, but we hope it remembers the location and saw the nest, you never know, it may return!
Between showers we walked the breakwater at Brixham. Purple Sandpipers looking summery, they will soon be flying north to breed. Bluish white showing off the speckles on their undersides.
‘Hardcore’ seawatching today from the seated shelter at Shoalstone. None of this comfortable Berry Head stuff. 0905-1205hrs 1 Balearic Shearwater, 2 Great skua, 1 Common Swift, 3 Puffin, 1 GN Diver, 5 Common Scoter, numerous Auks and Manx Shearwater Yesterday joined by this -
A nice trip down memory Lane. The UK's second Grey Catbird at Treeve Moor, Sennen gave some stunning views. Can you believe this was back in 2018! Pete Walsh's brilliant footage captures the species namesake call as well. Sound up.
Wheatear close to the sea watch at Berry Head where Mark Darlaston spotted this beautifully spooned Pomarine Skua some way off and a dozen or so Manx Shearwaters also flying south.
At least 3 of the wintering #PurpleSandpipers remain at Hope's Nose, Devon. Their developing summer plumage provided very good camouflage this morning. They'll be off north soon. @TorbayBirders @wildlife_devon @DevonBirds
The Woodchat Shrike at Gwynver, Sennen is still present this morning. (8th day). It’s considered to be a first summer female and one of five that have occurred this Spring in Cornwall.
Wonderful views today of a #PurpleHeron at Devon's Beesands Ley. This strikingly colourful bird became more confiding as the late afternoon progressed. A species I have struggled to connect with in the past. Well done again today @BuxtonBirder. 👍 @wildlife_devon @DevonBirds
Our friend come to see us again this evening 😊 @ChrisGPackham
Standard affair at Sharkham Point today. Resident breeders all seem to be there now, Whitethroat not so many. Blue tit sounded odd.
Another Woodchat Shrike was found on the 21st April at Kenidjack, Cornwall at Wheal Owles. This is the old mine above the allotments. This is my third Woodchat of the Spring and a rewarding find for Sam Williams. No less than five Woodchats have now been found this Spring! (see…
