Was pleased to get my first self-found Garganey this morning (4 of them!) (Bubbenhall) but too distant for photo. Also lovely looking female Smew (Bubbenhall) and a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (RSPB Middleton Lakes) after work, my first in quite a few years @westmidbirdclub.bsky.social

A 5-day break to Poland with the family produced 37 species. 3 lifers for me were Black Woodpecker, Crested Tit & Short-toed Treecreeper. 5 Dipper together were nice to see. Also the very localised Tatra Chamois high up on the mountains!
