Rescuing seabirds is becoming a bit of a habit for you. Good man. 👌😊

Beautiful Dunlin.
Long-billed timy wader. Varying shades of brown, buff and white mottled upper body that is cryptically camouflaged. Pale under parts all supported on lengthy dark legs. It’s having a paddle along the tide line.

Thank you, the relief is palpable. Now knowing what makes that noise means I can resume camping in the woods again.

I followed a Pipit along a beach on southern tip of Llyn Peninsular today. It was always 1 sand groyne ahead of me (50 metres). Consequently, I only had a rear view. Initially I thought Rock Pipit, but looking at the supercilium on my sharpest photo, is it? Any ID opinion much appreciated.

The fact that until I saw its obscured head, I thought you’d got a Kakapo, says much about my own ID skills!

Morning dog-walk sighting before the clouds rolled in. I frequently see Red Kites nowadays, usually soaring. This bird was off upwards as soon as I stopped and unbagged my camera.
Red Kite, grey head, yellow eye, yellow upper bill with fiercely hooked graphite grey lower bill and rufous body with brown dabbled wing markings, It has landed on a dead branch and is framed by a cloudless blue sky.

Elation and melancholy: They’ll be off soon and I wonder if any will come back next year. 🪶
