I've seen very few Mediterranean Gulls over the years at Cottenham Long Drove so pleased to pick up my 4th site record this evening with this 1cy @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Barra's first coal tit for 2 years has sulphur yellow cheeks & appears to be of the Irish race P.a.hibernicus. I have no experience of this race & no idea what the liklihood is of it reaching Barra. Comments welcome. @birdguides.bsky.social @rayb126.bsky.social #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK

Coal tit possibly of the Irish race P.a.hibernicus

A trip up north gave me an opportunity to look in on the Etton-Maxey elegant, leggy Lesser Yellowlegs. Lovely bird. As always thanks to the finder @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Yesterday they were mostly in a field that wasn't easily viewable but generally the new workings is best.

Brendan Doe @laziobirder.bsky.social · Aug 8

Yes lots of birds so definitely worth a visit

Hi Thomas. I'm there fairly regularly. Currently the best place is on the new workings. maps.app.goo.gl/CAtzKGC5xWdU... come in from 20p road and park in the obvious pull in to view. Currently c.700 LBBG, a few Caspian and reasonable numbers of YLG. Hopefully you can find me a 2cy Baltic Gull!
