First Knot in the PBC area this year (I think) was found by @weedonsworld.bsky.social this morning on East Pit, Deeping Lakes, Lincs. Didn’t seem to hang around long, as no further sign by 9.20am @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social @justwildimages.bsky.social

Thanks for putting the news out so promptly Mark. As you say, they’ve been sparse to date, so that was most welcome!

Well the Lesser Yellowlegs relocated this afternoon, to the nearby Silt Pit, Etton, Cambs, where it showed a bit well… @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

That’s interesting Mark, as I’d presumed the same. Which photo of the Isleham bird are you using to compare? - I must admit I only recall seeing some footage from Simon Gillings which was difficult to use as a comparison.

No Redstarts or Whinchats, but a very confiding Lesser Whitethroat at Milton airfield, Cambs this morning. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Now that the tip at Tanholt is no longer processing waste, these juv Yellow-legged gulls will be prized year ticks in the PBC area. This one was found by @jrmjones.bsky.social on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs on the 17/07 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds

Rather unexpectedly, this Tawny Owl started hooting in broad daylight last weekend! A magical moment to witness. 🦉✨ More on the blog: justwildimages.blogspot.com
