Parabolic mic, and field recorder packed away in the shed while we have a few days of bad weather. It's still picking up bird calls! #Defiant

Nocturnal Migration looks to have bumped up a notch last night over North Baddesley, with increase in Redwing and Song Thrush numbers. Moorhen a strangely regular occurrence overnight.

1 Raspberry Pi, a Zoom H1 and an Audiomoth, and 3 days of cursing.
But I now have a permanent Bird call monitor / bat detector running.
Pretty sure the Sp.Fly is false. It did pick up a bone fide Firecrest though.
Looks like a Noctule slipped past with the Pipistrelle (20khz).

Very little in the moth trap this morning, and the home-made battery LEDs don't seem to be making it until the morning, so no chance of going a little further afield just yet.
A Great Prominent on the house wall is always a fairly impressive sight though

Keyhaven and Pennington Marshes this morning. Picked out a Bar-tailed Godwit amongst Black-tailed Godwits. Plenty of Mediterranean Gulls flying East, at least 100. Plus an Osprey overhead flying North with fish. Also, 3 Sanderling.

High on numbers around Pennington, but not much out of the ordinary. The day was highlighted by some very close encounters, first with a Roe Deer just a few metres off the path, then later a Brent Goose on the footpath at Fishtail Lagoon. 9 Spoonbill, and a few Med Gulls flying over.

My first outing of 2025. Paid too much attention to the weather forecast instead of the tide tables, and missed Slavonian, Red-Necked Grebe and Lesser Yellowlegs in Lymington marsh area!
Did get a few photos of regular winter birds in the area, and my first Winter Heliotrope flower. #HantsBirds

Farmland birding near Dunbridge, Test Valley. The area had a good spell last winter with Corn Bunting, Brambling, and Goosander, but my weekend walk was low on quality. Yellowhammers seen briefly and a flock of 28 Skylark was ok. Managed pics of Linnets, Raven, and Reed Bunting.

#SouthernWater water outage affecting 70k people for 2 days now. Luckily just 2 of us home, and we had a small supply of bottled water.
Watering cans filled from the nearby stream for toilet flushing purposes. Where is the resilience? 1 failure should not wipe out water to 70k people.

Radford's Flame Shoulder the highlight of a moth trap set up at the coast near New Milton Hampshire, on Friday 4th October, 2024. Not a lot else, but this was high on my "most wanted list"!

A nice morning getting closer photos of some of the Ringed Plovers roosting at Calshot. Involved crawling over shingle, but no birds were flushed. Until a walker passed thru the flock a few minutes later. Oh well.

Still relatively quiet around Keyhaven, Pennington and Normandy. Nothing really noteworthy, but a nice bright morning for photos.

Everything's Gone Green! RSPB Pagham Harbour earlier this week, with Green Woodpecker and Emperor Dragonfly the most photogenic subjects. A Firecrest and Spotted Fly in the churchyard were more elusive, while Med Gull and Whimbrel were more distant. #UKBirding

Bright and sunny bank holiday on the Hampshire coast. Just the routine species around, but some showing well for pics, in particular Dunlin, Little Egret and Spoonbill.
