Fantastic day in the recording area yesterday, with the highlights being a Wryneck and a Golden Oriole, plus a Woodlark, a southbound Spoonbill and the first of year Pied Flycatcher were amongst a decent fall of migrants, including 93 Wheatears Daily log: trektellen.nl/count/view/285…

The Mandarin has flegded, was again lucky enough to capture most of the fledging on trailcam. They certainly do come into the world with a thud! 18 days earlier than last year, 10 from 11 fledged, last year was 9 from 10. @DorsetBirdClub @_BTO @BBCSpringwatch
this new male nightingale has taken up terroitry and shows rather well at bromhey rspb.
A varied day out in Kent with @BarryWright12 and @garynhoward. Highlights included 3 species of Skua, Whimbrel, Nightingale, Garden Warbler, Turtle dove, Red Kite, Hobby, Hairy Dragonfly and at least 6 stunning Downy Emeralds.
Excellent session at @RSPBRainham with three year ticks: Arctic Tern, Swift & Whimbrel. Also Little Gull, Corn Bunting, Bearded Tit, Barwit, Yellow Wagtail, LRP, Greenshank, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Common Sandpiper & Wheatear #londonbirds
Arctic Tern left Common Tern right on the buoys at Ferry Lagoon, @RSPBEngland Fen Drayton this morning. The annual exercise of getting my eye in with distant birds. Inspired by Tom's tweet: x.com/tomhines10/sta…

Wheatear close to the sea watch at Berry Head where Mark Darlaston spotted this beautifully spooned Pomarine Skua some way off and a dozen or so Manx Shearwaters also flying south.

Singing male Common Redstart. We spent a good hour watching it catch flies in mid air, feeding on the forest floor and even flirt with a female that showed up. Forest of Dean this afternoon. @Natures_Voice
Today we explored some amazing riverine oak forest in Strobawski Landscape Park, a habitat long gone from UK. Seasonal & permanent water, majestic trees, lots of Beaver activity and teeming with insects (mosquitoes!). But also Wood Warblers, flycatchers, thrushes etc 1/n
🧵 One significant improvement - they stopped mowing this park area next to the river Allier which I filmed yesterday, this afternoon it was alive with hirundines feeding on all the insects attracted to the uncut meadow

We’ve visited #Moulins #France for many years in Spring but I’ve never heard #GoldenOrioles & #Nightingales singing together The work done by the local municipality is nothing short of incredible Too much to list here but suffice to say I’m in paradise right now (sound on)
One of the highlights of Cyprus was watching Alpine Swifts chase each other over the sea whilst Eleonora’s Falcons soared around the cliffs below. Pleased to have captured this image of three of the swifts chasing each other, almost looks like a composite image!
A European Nightjar that had been ringed in Estonia ended up being eaten by humans in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to conservationists: bit.ly/3UzC5Kw
An guessing you’re going to see a lot of these🙂. Lots of familiar faces and with a bit of patience bird showed well. Plenty of other good birds including Redstart, Black Redstart (a cracking male), Garganey, Cattle Egrets and Spoonbills. Still didn’t feel like summer though!

A few from last night’s trap. Eyed Hawk-moth, Great Prominent, Green Carpet + Muslin. Pale Prominent.
A rattling Lesser Whitethroat, a cronking Raven and a sunrise made for a pleasant pre-work walk today.
My 31st year surveying this square in Thetford Forest for @BBS_birds Cuckoo, Tree Pipit, Yellowhammer and a good mix of warblers. Perfect morning for it.
Common Tern - another full-fat year-tick from Staines... Didn't find any Arctic in the melley as they had evidently b*ggered off with the Little Gulls... Note to self: Must arrive earlier next time.
Lucky to see and exceptionally lucky to get the shot. @RSPBDungeness
A evening stroll on the patch produced my 1st Cuckoo & 3 Swift of the year #londonbirds
An arrival of common migrants @spurnbirdobs today, bolstered by this Wryneck in Kilnsea, which was still obliging well into the evening. Thanks to @msabirder for allowing access @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides
A good if often a wet and windy week that saw the arrival of some superb birds Temminck`s stint,whinchat,Turtle dove,Cuckoo ,Grasshopper warbler and several others added to our years birds seen list now standing at 187 .
A few other bits from South Kent today with @dartfordtrapper and @garynhoward
Meeting in Surrey today, so I visited a part of my newly adopted ad-hoc patch beforehand. Highlight being 2 hawfinch. Other highlights were cuckoo, garden wabler and 7 willow warblers.
A varied day out in Kent with @BarryWright12 and @garynhoward. Highlights included 3 species of Skua, Whimbrel, Nightingale, Garden Warbler, Turtle dove, Red Kite, Hobby, Hairy Dragonfly and at least 6 stunning Downy Emeralds.
Nightingale singing on the outskirts of Canterbury today, what a sound.
Beautiful ‘hepatic’ morph Cuckoo ringed last weekend on Antikythera, Greece.
After Osprey yesterday another garden tick today. A Ring Ouzel found and photographed by Tracy, as is normal in our house!
It’s amazing what happens when you just sit on the grass near the bird feeders. Yes you guessed it, a wet arse! 2 of the 10 Bramblings in the garden today and really tame female Siskin. Mid Yell.
