Jupiter & 3 moons still bright, a Tawny Owl hoots. Two Blackbirds silhouetted against the ice blue sky.

Lots of sounds, Wren dominating, but a chacking Fieldfare overhead the 1st to show.

Late response! Two Herring Gulls.

A Redwing, out from the Magic Tree & back into it.

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 4d

Takes me back! Such a wondrous place.

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 5d

100s of Thrushes, of 4 species piling in, along with Bramblings, Redpolls & Chaffinches. Probably the Fieldfares first to show.

Nature action: email STEVE REED m: [email protected] simply saying MANDATE SWIFT BRICKS. If you want you can email me at [email protected] for a template but that is the simple message to convey. PEOPLE POWER WORKS BUT ONLY … if enough people actually act !!

Done.
Sorry I had to do it, though, Hannah.

Featuring a Desertas petrel that stunned scientists by chasing a tropical storm (see their incredible chase mapped here!), tiny nightingales that cross the Sahara twice a year, and Bewick's swans that have changed their stopovers and diet

Swaro will probably replace it for free. They did for my bins.

Rook & Redwing crossing paths against the grey.

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 7d

I agree. And an increasingly rare bird. A good find.

Blackbirds - four continental birds briefly on the lawn. Redwings & Fieldfares coming in.

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 9d

An augury

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 9d

Redwings in the murky first light.

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 10d

And this just a few minutes ago!!!

richardhalftwo.bsky.social @richardhalftwo.bsky.social · 10d

All happening here: flocks of Redwings first, Brambling dropping in, Redpolls over, and the first Fieldfares of the Autumn!
