An awesome day out at @ElmleyNNR yday with 64 species seen; highlights were over 70 swifts moving north with their iconic screams and an extremely close Short eared Owl on the track (1 of 5 seen). Other sightings included cuckoo, sandwich tern and 7+ cattle egret. @BirdGuides
🗣️ It’s World Curlew Day! This iconic wetland species faces huge challenges - like habitat loss, predation and flooding. Here’s what we’re doing to give vulnerable curlew chicks a fighting chance 👇💚 #WorldCurlewDay
Busy this #WorldCurlewDay, preparing for the arrival of 2024’s Curlew eggs, part of The Lowland Curlew Recovery Project. We hope birds reared & fledged here will be site faithful, returning to breed in the vast habitat of mudflats, saltmarsh & wet grassland at Elmley & Swale NNR

Elmley nature reserve will be closed this weekend, Sat 20th & Sun 21st April, to complete critical maintenance works delayed due to the bad weather. The Reserve will reopen on Wed 24th April as normal. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, thank you for your understanding.
Just 4 places remaining for our Dawn Chorus walk at Great Comp Garden with wildlife expert @SimonGinnaw this Saturday 20th April at 5am! Book online at: greatcompgarden.co.uk/dawn-chorus-wa… #DawnChorus #RSPB #birdsong @RSPBNews #Spring
Wonderful report today of booming numbers of bitterns (sorry!) across our wetlands. Very pleased Elmley now has several pairs and some obliging individuals across the Reserve #conservationsuccess @RSPBNews @WWTworldwide

Look out for the dazzling Green Hairstreak (Callophrys rubi) 💚 They are now on the wing with the first butterfly spotted on the 24th March in Cumbria, about a week earlier than the usual first sighting. Follow the first sightings as they happen 👉 butrfli.es/47pkQyC
REDSHANK ALERT! A Redshank is not ... ... as charismatic as a #Curlew ... ... as lush as a #Lapwing or ... ... as graceful as a #Greenshank ... BUT next time you see one, please spare it a second glance - and thought. The species is in trouble - thread 1/11 #ornithology
Still a couple of weeks to this years first breeding bird survey but nesting is well underway. Especially conspicuous are the Lapwing sitting for 3-4 wks on open nest. Expecting to see first chicks around 2wk of April. Lapwing have several strategies to protect their nests 1/5
We've recently caught c2,000 Siskins in S Staffs as part of a major influx, but where from? Clues came with controlling 3 ringed birds: from Czech Republic, Germany & Poland. No doubt many others are also from Central Europe. Anyone experiencing the same? tinyurl.com/46tfcwww
Job alert! There’s an exciting opportunity to join BTO as Youth Engagement Manager. 😀 Discover more and apply 👉 bit.ly/YEManager Closing date for applications: 10 April
Do you find tree ID a tall ALDER? Do WILLOWS make YEW weep? If so, SPRUCE up your efforts with this PLUM new tree guide. The commonest species CHERRY picked. Makes it OSIER. Glad to be of SERVICE. @JB_Publishing @WoodlandTrust @gailashton
What an amazing job opportunity for a keen birder!
New in #BirdStudy UK Little Terns feed their chicks mostly (82%) sandeels & small herrings/sprats, so colonies are vulnerable to climate change affecting the distribution & quality of these fish. Chick diet in UK Little Terns: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #OpenAccess @_BTO
Fishermen in Vardø are building their own Kittiwake hotels 😊👌 Old fish boxes stacked on top of a storage container. So cool to see the care for nature when many other coastal communities are trying to scare the Kittiwakes away or prevent them from settling. Vardø win ✊
Geese looking a bit worried out in front of Wellmarsh hide this morning, a quick scan revealed a juvenile white tailed eagle have its breakfast of goose.

Canterbury's newest art mural is taking flight thanks to @AtmStreetart! Spot the White-spotted Sable Moth and the Heath Fritillary Butterfly. Both are rare species in the UK that need particular woodland wildflowers to ensure their survival in nearby Blean Woods.

So it’s the time of year for finding, recording and enjoying rare breeding birds, but we must remember to put their welfare first! Here’s some advice from RBBP Secretary @Mark_A_Eaton, and there’s a blog here tinyurl.com/RBBPsafe [1/2]

Nightingale singing on the outskirts of Canterbury today, what a sound.
Eurasian Bittern today. At @ElmleyNNR
Green-winged Orchids in full flower at Marden Meadow, Kent. Always a great spectacle with plenty of colour variations offering extra interest.
An awesome day out at @ElmleyNNR yday with 64 species seen; highlights were over 70 swifts moving north with their iconic screams and an extremely close Short eared Owl on the track (1 of 5 seen). Other sightings included cuckoo, sandwich tern and 7+ cattle egret. @BirdGuides
Advancing rain front, Already more than 25 mm overnight. @SwaleWeather @CloudAppSoc
The Swallows have arrived on mass today, definitely brightening a rather dull, damp and blustery day. Wonderful to have them zip past so close and hear their high pitched liquid chattering.
Summer Walkway due to open @WWTSlimbridge and the White-spotted Bluethroat has returned to the reserve. #GlosBirds wwt.org.uk/wetland-centre…
Woodland management 2/3 years ago has had a dramatic impact on a local Early Purple Orchid patch, probably 200/300 where there were 50 or less. Presumably impact of greater light. #EarthDay2024 #trees #orchids @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @KentWildlife
This, and finds like it within inland counties like Surrey, show no matter where you bird, finding scarce & rare birds can happen anywhere. Whilst the 'hit rate' might be less cf coastal areas, it provides hope - from young to old - to those who love finding 'their own' birds.
LITTLE CRAKE on Papercourt this morning - last seen five mins ago trying to relocate @SurreyBirdNews @BirdGuides
Happy World Curlew Day! Love them, protect them, celebrate them. 💚 @CurlewAction 📷 Andrew McAlister

Watching the drake Ferruginous Duck at Whetsted, listening to Nightingales & Cuckoo, then some flowers, then some Chub! Nice way to spend an afternoon😊 (Harvey’s Best Bitter)
A quick evening walk turned up more than expected this evening - two Purple Herons at Winchester SF. Photo was taken five minutes after sunset, just after I found them! @HOSbirding
The Greatstone Hoopoe finding all sorts of grubs in the dunes this afternoon. Many thanks to Steff D'Agorne for finding and getting news out promptly.
Chuffed to bits with these (cropped) images of the Hoopoe at Greatstone Dunes (Kent) . It showed very well despite being flushed by walkers several times a real treat for both me and a first (UK) for Nicky
Wow! The Hoopoe in the dunes at Greatstone this morning is a wee stunner! Well worth the pre-breakfast effort. @KentishPlover @LeeEvansBirding #birding #Hoopoe
