Thanks Robert, am stupidly chuffed, obvs
Cheers, Dave - about time I came back out there I’d say
Many thanks, seems to have put smiles on faces
Terrific that you’ve seen it, Oli🍺😀👍
It’s not a Buff-breast at Chew (!) but you know, you take what you can get
Cheers Steve. Couldn’t help but notice you found a beautiful little Pallas’s the other day. I’m still waiting for one of those.
After a dawn raid on the Point, this little beauty was cowering in the buckthorn on my birding walk back, not far south of the Breach at Spurn. Thomas Willoughby’s brilliant pic. Bird of a lifetime. A British tick as well 😂

A drake Ring-necked Duck was at Decoy, Shapwick today, per Charlie Wootton who took nice photos
Yellow-browed and Sibe Chiff at Deerness today in the quarry garden
The reporting is even worse than I thought - I can’t find any areas in the Broads where the water quality failures are caused by storm overflows. I might be wrong but I don’t think so…
Staggeringly, this excerpt is taken from the actual report itself - completely disingenuous headlining
Red-necked Phal still, Easington lagoons, and a Garganey on Beacon Pond @birdguides.bsky.social
Grey Phal on the mud now from Stert Pt hide, Somerset @birdguides.bsky.social
Red-necked Phal with 2 Greys still at Cheddar, rather good 👌, and the former a super find for @glastobirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
Juv Red-crested Pochard at Cheddar Res dabbling with Mallard and Gadwall off the cormorant roost spit this afternoon. Curlew Sand up to 16 and Little Stint to 3.
