Great to find this presumed arctica Dunlin ssp with @estherumsey18 on the tack piece at Slimbridge yesterday. Cracking bird, textbook arctica and good to be able to compare it directly to schinzii. Also Arctic Tern, Yellow wag & Barwit. #glosbirds @GlosBirds @slimbridge_wild
At least 2 Bar-tailed Godwit migrating north over my house in Herefordshire last night at 22:02. Heard calling 4 times. Garden✅️@HerefsBirds @BirdGuides #nocmig #PWC2024
Great visit to @WWTSlimbridge today, had incredible views of Spotted Redshank, Mediterranean Gull and Greenshank. Great to see @_Birder1, @RufusWildlife and @estherumsey18.
Very happy to stumble across this cracking male Ring Ouzel on North Hill (Malvern Hills) this afternoon. Also at least 2 Willow Warbler singing and a flock of 5 Swallow through South. Local spring birding at its best! @WorcsBirding #PWC2024 #WorcsBirds @BirdGuides

Pied flycatcher, comm redstart, dipper, grey wag, willow warbler, garden warbler, tree pipit.
Seems to be quite a few Whinchat out on Salisbury Plain this year!
A Bee-eater flew south calling over Balephuil #Tiree yesterday evening at 20.25hrs - no sign of it since despite much searching - my first here in 23 years! @PatchBirding @BirdGuides
Siberian Stonechat showing well in Gorse Field just south of @FlamboroughBird lighthouse at 12.40 at least.
This Wood Warbler is just one of a few that have been on the island the few days. Full round up on the blog this evening! Photo: @George_NRBO
Collared Flycatcher still present in north field #Spurnbirds @RareBirdAlertUK
Another ridiculous day on @FI_Obs with new arrivals coming in after yesterdays fall. Wood Warblers on the cliffs with the flycatchers and Redstarts and Wrynecks in the crofts. My highlight was life ticking Bluethroat on census then catching one late afternoon! What amazing birds!
I managed to record a reeling Savi’s Warbler in a small wetland in Co.Louth near the Monaghan border. Was tricky to record as location is close to a busy road so had to compile the noise free songs. Not a bird I ever expected to record locally, amazing find by @BMcCloskey_98
Clifton Pits & environs; a good start to the #WestMidsAllDayer 68 species at 9.20; highlights, Whimbrel, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Wigeon, 3 Teal, Shoveler, 2 Wheatear, pair of Stonechat and Nightingale singing. Still a few regulars to catch up with.
Ship assisted European Robin in the Amazon! inaturalist.org/observations/1…
When a possible Woodchat Shrike became a definite when this flicked up on to the brambles in front of us! A new species for @RSPBRainham reserve. Made even better by seeing Little Tern on the Thames before hand. Still in a state of shock! Absolute🔥🔥🔥 #londonbirds
Highlight of a day traipsing the Lizard with @FinleyHutchins2 @Sibthorpia @LukeStoppard was spotting this lovely male Whinchat hopping between brambles, surely one of the best looking migrants, and a fairly scarce bird in spring here. Thanks @Joenkirst for this fantastic shot!
An impressive overland passage of Arctic Terns was experienced in parts of England last week, with multiple sites treated to triple-figure counts of the species: bit.ly/44lrB4z
A day to remember, with a male Collared Flycatcher caught and ringed in Kew this morning, then being seen regularly in North Field through rest of the day. A slight increase in other migrant species also, namely Pied Flycatcher with six seen. Daily log: trektellen.nl/count/view/285…
Savi’s found by @BMcCloskey_98 in Louth (just) yesterday, a spin down this evening with @BirdmanNi and after a long stand we were so lucky to get such a great view of it. Tony’s BOC shot taken in tricky light conditions says it all.
Two and a half hours in and I'm on a personal total of 53 species for #TeamGrimley. First vegan roll of the day just consumed. #MayTheFourth be with all teams #WestMidsAllDayer
Our first Garden Warbler for the year and a very close shave for that fly ! @DevonBirds @dartmoornpa
What a cracker singing & very active earlier today between the rain showers ….

Some very nice summer visitors finally arriving today. Male Whinchat at the stunning Windmill Farm reserve, Lizard and a Garganey and Yellow Wagtail at Marazion. Also saw first Hobby of the year and several Swifts. (Yellow wag pics by Russell Hamilton.) Thanks Joe Jones for…
