Doing the tourist bit at Sete Citades today and delighted to find an endemic! 3 São Miguel Goldcrest (R.r. azoricus) in the lakeside trees. Call more piercing than our Goldcrest, a bit more Firecrest like. Also found a drake Ring-necked Duck, no idea if it has been seen previously?

@dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social A not so good video of the Goldeneye at Longham Lakes this afternoon of the 6th October 2025. I'M wondering whether this is an eclipse male, though I did not see any round white patch forming at the base of the bill.
