Tonight I decided to lie in our yet to be started porch foundations to get some 'grass' level shots of my youngster. The last pic was taken by my wife and just shows you what she has to put up with. 🤣😉🙄🦊
My cub has now been joined by a sibling so now I have 2 of the little shits terrorising around my garden. 😉👍Growing up so fast, 🩷 these little cubs. So much excitement they entertain us most evenings while we eat dinner. FYI that's the vixen that took my Action Cam. 🤬😉
Also Yellowhamer, a bird that was common around the Staines area before the reservoirs went in. Corn Buntings went the same way at Staines sadly.
Dipped Accentor but year ticked Garden Warbler, and a showy one at that, at the same site.
1/3 As a massive thank to her for allowing me in 2 look. I tidied up her garden for her. But we both agreed not too tidy, leaving the fox den area at the back & wild flowers on the left untouched. Also put water bowls out for the cubs. So lucky find it could've been anywhere. 🤞
1/2 then yesterday it rained all day, making looking for it almost impossible in her very over grown garden. So in todays sun I was out looking hard worried sick I'd just lost an expensive bit of kit through my own fault. And guess what, I found it ... how very lucky was I?
1/3 Sooo true story 2 days ago a fox ran off with my brand new DJI Action cam in it's mouth. (Yes you heard right) It was to dark to look for it in my lovely neighbours garden. Hoping the fox would do the right thing & drop it in her garden & not keep going losing forever. 😭😱🦊
Sadly, there was no sign of the Alpine Accentor this morning, but did UK tick @ruths_portraits and year tick @Briansbirding lovely seeing you both today. Blimmin birds 😭 luckily it wasn't a bird I needed for the UK.
No immediate sign of the Accentor I'm afraid, there's a bunch looking.
Beer or Alpine Accentor .... beer me thinks. 🤣🍻🍺
Shockingly bad photos of the Rough-legged Buzzard over the Collared Flycatcher site early morning. I believe it drifted out to sea later. (Was not ID'd by me, it was so high up and into the sun I wouldn't have stood a chance) @spurnbirdobs
Arriving at first light to search, then giving up & leaving. To having to turn around 20mins later...the Collared Flycatcher was a roller coaster of emotions this morning. Thankfully it did the right thing and stayed. Thanks @spurnbirdobs for arranging access to view.
Spurn: Barnie out well into the morning. Last nights rain must've seriously reduced it 's hunting overnight. @spurnbirdobs
Rough-legged Buzz fly over while we were looking at the Flycatcher. #yeartick

@sferguk We have 4 of them rampaging round the garden! Very sweet, but so destructive!
How about another Picture of Yesterday's Alpine Accentor at Pitstone Quarry. @bucksbirdclub @bucksalert @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides #BirdsSeenIn2024
@sferguk Takes too long to get to Staines whilst the Wisley mayhem is happening so don’t get there much at present.
Melodious Warbler trapped in the Moat at the Observatory
@sferguk Correct choice mate... manky dunnock innit
@sferguk @ruths_portraits Nice to see you too mate, shame the bird didn’t stick for us
@sferguk @ruths_portraits You too Shaun!! Shame not in better circumstances but can’t win ‘em all!
@sferguk @BarryWright12 @ruths_portraits @Briansbirding It sure is mind blowing! People put in hours, days, years on their patches all over the country and never find a notable species and then you've got a moss finding guy in a private quarry in landlocked county who pulls one out the bag! Amazing!
It's a weekend for big birds for me. The purple Heron this morning down at Pagham.
Up in E. Yorks with Joel - didn’t expect to actually see the singing Savi’s warbler at North Cave YWT first thing this morning @BirdGuides @NorthCaveWet
No Alpine Accentor for many of us hopefuls arriving this morning. Super frustrating! But, I’ve just proved to myself that I’m capable of doing long distance twitches solo without dying, and I am now unstoppable. 😄 And, an added bonus to see the lovely @ruths_portraits again!
@sferguk I got ID'd for a bottle of wine in Tesco earlier 😂 I'm 30 next month!
@sferguk Snap, drowning it out with some wine! I need to find a victim to share the ride with - 8 hours round trip for me is too much for me on my own! 😩
