After the Peregrine vs LTSkua battle I went home, made a coffee and settled down to see if a heavy shower had dropped anything into the back garden. Bingo! First garden record of Redstart! #ukbirding

2/2 Though the LTS had a noticeably smaller wingspan, it completely out-manouvered the Peregrine during the chase, not surprising considering the Peg was probably at least 3 times heavier! The Peg tried to reclaim it’s breakfast from the surface, eventually giving up! 1-0 to the LTS!

1/2 This am seawatch highlight was a Peregrine hunting a wader 500m out, it takes the prey but from nowhere a Long-tailed skua appears and pursues the Peregrine! LTS forces the Peregrine to drop the prey but instead of claiming its prize the LTS just continues nonchalantly on it's way! #ukbirding

Titchwell Marsh RSPB still busy with waders today. 22 species when I left with quite a few commoner species missing from that total. From the beach: 2 summer RTDiver, 2 common buzzards in/off and osprey. Hobby over Volunteer Marsh. 😀

Thanks for the info, I’ve now managed to post the topic in the community.

In addition to trouble signing into the desktop site (given up on), I can’t work out how to make a post on the community site. So here’s my question. Is it possible to change the colours on app soundscapes from barely contrasting purple on black to easily seen black on white? #BWPUC

Agree with everything you say. I can usually ‘get by’ with techy stuff but not with #BWPUC
Could do with a simple guide explaining how best to interact with it. ‘BWPUC for Dummies’ …like me 😂

It lets me sign in (apparently successfully) but then as soon as I try to interact with the site, it asks me to sign in again but rejects very same password I’ve just used or create to a new account.

I have so many issues and frustrations with my #BWPUC I’m on the point of throwing it in the bin! Let’s start with the very basics,how do I sign in to the desktop site and stay signed in?
