Single Clouded Yellow at Whaddon Trowbridge this am NFY. @BC_Wiltshire
Passage Yellow Wagtails less than annual at Whaddon Trowbridge and scarce in ones and twos, so flock of 12 in stubble today is easily my record count. Plus 2 Wheatears @WiltsBirdClub
Not a twitcher any more but I couldn't resist the Black-winged Kite only an hour from home. Always a bit distant but good flight and perched views bet Frampton and Slimbridge. Great UK lifer.
Nightjar at Whaddon Trowbridge this am. Almost unbelievable! It's amazing where Migrant birds turn up! @WiltsBirdClub @WiltsBirdNews
Surprised to find Willow Emerald Damselfly at garden pond Trowbridge this morning. A first for me! #dragonfly
Really enjoyable morning Thursley Common despite wind and rain including Woodlark Tree Pipit Dartford W Redstart with yg Cuckoo Spot Fly and even Nightjar flying low over Heath right over me late am. @SurreyBirdNews
Woodchat Shrike still Copehill Down near Chitterne Wilts this morning near parking area on B390 @RareBirdAlertUK @WiltsBirdClub @WiltsBirdNews
1st proper visit to Prawle Point for about 40 years. Pleased to see Cirl Buntings still present. Topped off with a pint in the Pigs Nose Inn. Great day out!
Good start to short break on Dartmoor with Cuckoo and Redstart showing well at Emsworthy Mire. Also nice with active House Martin colony at hotel. Weather not bad either. @DevonBirds
1st Swallow of year at Whaddon Trowbridge this am brightened up a grey day! Early as last year 1st here 13 April. @WiltsBirdClub
8 Brambling in trees along sunflower field minor road between Upton Scudamore and Old Dilton ST855485. Scarce in county this winter. @WiltsBirdNews @WiltsBirdClub
Amazing numbers birds at Send around sunflowers. Plenty Brambling amongst the countless finch flocks with constant blizzards of birds. Brilliant experience @SurreyBirdNews
Good morning at Thursley Common. 4+ Woodlark singing, Great views several Dartford Warblers and a surprising Barn Owl out late morning. Always a pleasure to visit. @SurreyBirdNews
Excellent views female Pallid Harrier this afternoon Warham Greens topping off a great few days in Norfolk.
Good morning along the By Brook, Box. Pair Dippers, Grey Wagtail and big surprise Lesser Spotted Woodpecker seen briefly but well and could not be relocated! @WiltsBirdClub @WiltsBirdNews
So sad to learn of the passing of Denis Law. My favourite all time footballer. What a player! @ManUtd
Ring-necked Duck drake still Fonthill Lake Wilts 14.00 at dam end @RareBirdAlertUK @WiltsBirdNews @WiltsBirdClub
Siberian Chiffchaff still Westbury STW and c20 Common Chiffchaff 10.45. @WiltsBirdClub @WiltsBirdNews @RareBirdAlertUK
Sound on. 🔊 We were excited to find a Night Heron flying around calling at night in audio recordings from two survey squares in Wiltshire in June 2024. This species is a recent colonist and local rarity, so it was fascinating to discover its presence in our survey area.
