Just been watching the Long-billed Dowitcher at Cley, my 199th bird this year. Any guesses what number 200 will be?
Against the odds and any sense of natural justice, this rusty wire supplied by Iain Hartley has yielded poop DNA. 'Eastern Stonechat' from Sanday, 7 Oct 2023 was a Siberian S. maurus. @FatPaulScholes1 @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @__BBRC
...then the long-staying Long-billed Dowitcher dropped in, right in front of the hide. Starting to look very smart now, as it moults into full breeding plumage for the first time...
The Cley dowitcher showed very well late morning today in front of Bishop Hide. Even burst into song “diddle-lee-dee….diddle-lee-dee…” Barwit dropped in and hen harrier flew through.
The Marsh Sandpiper in Hampshire showed really well on Tuesday....
OK, you’re probably getting fed up with photos of the Cley LBD…but here’s another. As it’s been around on and off for a couple of years thought it was about time I made the effort to see it (as well as being my first visit to the the Cley hides for 3-4 years 😳).
Oh my goodness we just found a #Wryneck on the fence by the sluice along Beach road at #CleyMarshes #Norfolk spotted by Deric whilst I was photographing a Whinchat!! Quick download pic to phone, unprocessed
The female Woodchat Shrike showed well at Anderby Creek roundhouse late afternoon. Cracking little bird - thanks @siddle_ho! @RareBirdAlertUK
Purple Heron on pool along St Erth Valley just SE of Relubbus then flew off SE @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK
The black kite spent much of yesterday afternoon following a tractor ploughing fields behind Kitty Down, regularly passing over my work nearby to have a good look at what I was up to! #ScillyBirds #PWC2024 🦅

Found this lovely drake Green-winged Teal at Cley NWT this morning. Initially distant at the back of Pat’s it moved around the reserve and eventually gave some better views. @NWTCleyCentre
A cool northerly breeze didn't really inspire hope that today would be something special but when John Kemp rang to say he had a Gull-billed Tern at Orosay, S Uist that all changed. We (@martgilli and I) arrived to find a happy John Kemp and 2 birds hawking the dune edge!
Exciting news for Scottish Cranes! For the first time, a colour-ringed Crane from England has been seen in Scotland. Not only that, but she seems to have paired up with a Scottish bird! Sherry was born in Somerset to parents who were released as part of the Great Crane Project.…
