Anyone able to id this bee?
Red Legged Partridge in Tankerton this afternoon! Think it was a red legged and not a Chukar
Red Kite over Tankerton at 3pm this afternoon
My trip to the forests of Southern Normandy and the Eure was rounded off yesterday by a fleeting glimpse of a Crested Tit flitting around high in one of the tall pines in the garden.
Did see a Black a few years ago in the Solonge region but never seen a Middle Spotted Woodpecker
Merlin bird app Id has been pretty good for me, but I only report spots rather than sound ids. Given that, I am getting better at recognising song through the app. Green and Greater spotted woodpeckers definitely heard. Black and Middle Spotted via Merlin this week - possible!
Today short perimeter of the forest walk didn’t show much - glimpse of a hawfinch in flight, two crows mobbing a buzzard, a blackcap singing nearby + a young family of 6/7 swallows sweeping the crops for insects. Best spot though was a melodious warbler thru the kitchen window!!
Pleased to see a family of short toed tree creepers, 5-6 hawfinches in flight and one sitting proud atop a branch and a delightful little spotted flycatcher showing well, all from the confines of the cottage we have rented in lower Normandy
@andyswalecliffe this little beauty seemed to like my garden this morning!
Garden first and lifetime first my own little wryneck this morning! Wow super happy!
Lovely large Jersey Tiger Moth perusing my herb bed and cucumber plants and beans this evening. Beautiful zebra upper wing markings with vibrant orange below.
Have I just seen a white tailed eagle high high in the sky over Tankerton? Large bird very high identification very difficult
@andyswalecliffe @riversideros @alextomo @DrAlexFord @ChrisSmee1 @kjbailes @SOSWhitstable And with more housing and more sewage heading our way the system will remain unable to cope. It’s a huge crime against wildlife that is being committed by the developers and our local authorities and utility companies.
Oh and several swifts around Hook Norton Church
Great trip to the Cotswolds at the weekend. Buzzards aplenty and Red Kites. One RK almost fell out of tree in front of us. Pair of Red Legged Partridges on verge of the drive. Hedgerow growth lush so spotting hard. Merlin id app helped id Marsh Tit and Willow Warbler songs.
@SOSWhitstable Same most of yesterday along shoreline between Whitstable and Hampton. And still they get away with it and still thousands of new homes being built in the district. Infrastructure needs major investment BEFORE new developments started or allowed, Regulators need to get a grip.
Blustery walk along the coast today from Tankerton to Birchington. Quite a few terns battling the breeze close to shore groups of swallows and housemartins along the top. Pleased to see numbers of sandmartins along the beltinge/reculver bit. Skylarks and a first wheatear of year
Probably behind the curve here but first Swallow of the year seen skimming the slopes and two Great Crested Grebes off of the Yacht Club in breeding plumage. Lovely to see.
