Not a great day for number of species, but 8 Raven set a new site max for me. @BirdTrack @HantsCS
We've had regular sightings of Golden Plover in flight recently, with numbers up to 20 (library photo-Steve Payce). In contrast, the 4 Spoonbills on the scrapes over the last few days have resembled 4 statues, with very little movement! @HantsCS @HOSbirding #birdwatchingUK
Waves testing the sea defences at #LepeCP this morning. A Sparrowhawk tried hiding behind the timbers whilst stalking Turnstones, at times waves broke over her head, no TTs caught though. @HOSbirding @HantsCS
After yesterday's wind, a flat calm sea this morning, 7 Eider, 8 Common Scoter, Gt. N & Red-t.Divers, 2 Slav. Grebe & 2 Shag, a lot for #LepeCP. @HOSbirding @HantsCS
Not a great shot but this is Mediterranean Gull: Red PERU, a new one for me, ringed in Poland seen on this morning's visit to #LepeCP. 55spp in 76mins for @BirdTrack @HOSbirding @HantsCS
2 Spoonbills are back again today, and one of them actually moved! (Photo - Ken Martin). Other highlights: Goosander, Water Rail, Marsh Harrier, 2 Ravens, Nuthatch, 14 Snipe, 2 Egyptian Geese & a Barnacle Goose @HantsCS @HOSbirding #birdwatchingUK
Blackthorn in full bloom this morning at #LepeCP. 51spp in 75mins for @BirdTrack with Lapwing displaying and later a pair of Marsh Harrier doing display flight at another site, is winter really over? @HOSbirding @HantsCS
I tried to get in a single frame the contrast between woodland on Pitt Down @HantsCS and West Wood @ForestryEngland, the latter here an even-aged beech plantation. There is a stark contrast with the bordering arable fields, but plantations and arable crops can be monocultures.
Just 37spp in 103mins at #LepeCP in difficult conditions this morning for @BirdTrack. A colour-ringed Oystercatcher, ad Pale-bellied Brent & ad White-tailed Eagle which flew across to IoW were the highlights. @HOSbirding @HantsCS
At least one of our residents is thriving in all this damp weather! The Scarlet Elf Cup fungus is a brilliant splash of colour on a grey day (photo-David Hunt). Sightings include: Merlin, Firecrest, Spoonbill, Goosander, 3 Marsh Harriers & 6 Eider offshore @HantsCS @HOSbirding
Bridge St/Posbrook floods at Titchfield around lunchtime delivered 52 spp in 85mins for @BirdTrack. 2 Glossy Ibis (mostly hiding in rushes) and the fine drake Ferruginous Duck were NFY. @HOSbirding @HantsCS @titchfieldhaven

Highlights today: Siskin (photo-Russell Tofts), Avocet, Med. Gull, Marsh Harrier, Red Kite, Curlew, plus Sanderling on the shore @HantsCS @HOSbirding #birdwatchingUK
34spp in 63min visit to #LepeCP for @BirdTrack was pretty good in wind gusting to 45 knots and 1m storm surge limiting access to many areas. No seabirds over the choppy Solent. @HOSbirding @HantsCS
