Nipped over to Eyebrook Reservoir this morning to have a look at an American Golden Plover found by @leicesterllama.bsky.social Showed well, though distantly from the Rutland side.
Good to see @davidearlgray.bsky.social and @tcartz.bsky.social Great find Andy #VC55 #LROS

Screen grabs from last night's session at the tip. No brilliant but good bird to watch and compare with the extremely similar Tufties.

So a pretty hectic weekend. Regretting not getting migfest tickets now or planning it in. So one eye on east coast reports. I decided to stay localish till the #Sabines report from Redmire Reservoir came in. Also managed to see a spotshank on Long lane GP and 3 new Wigeon #ukbirding #vc55birds

Meet South Notts Ringer Kevin tonight to hopefully gain even more data from Lockington Quarry site. It was really good to chat and plan the future and found a pair of RC Pochards as a bonus.

#ukbirding #vc55birds #crofthill still no flycatchers. Loads of flying ants. Best was C80 #housemartin / #Swallow mix. Some young #chaffinch and a pair of #chiffchaff. Nice sunset too

#ukbirding 6hrs invested dipping the #hudsoniangodwit nice #wheatear though. Strange the sighting was called while there was only 4 of us left. Guess the others on the opposite ridge saw it?? I most certainly could not pick it out. 3 main flocks to work through and so very distant.

##ukbirding @RSPBFrampton #bairdssandpiper #curlewsandpiper #wheatear wet morning on the east coast. Bairds was a welcome sight, then a fleeting view of the juvenile Temms Stint. Waders of all shapes and sizes. Then a hop to South Anston for head only views of my 2nd migrating #dotterel #birds
