Out failing to record #Nightjars for the @btobirds.bsky.social #HeathlandBirdSurvey in #Suffolk this evening. Girls being good fluffy assistants while we stopped to listen to the baby Tawnies. We #HeardAnOwl (or several) but were #ZeroHeroes on the target species front! @hughhanmer.bsky.social

What a morning to be out surveying Woodlark for the #HeathlandBirdSurvey!
Took me to places I've not been in Dorset & even got me a bonus Goshawk in full display mode.
Still time to sign up and plenty of squares still available in Dorset.

Just done my first #BTO #HeathlandBirdSurvey for #Woodlark on a priority square in SW Surrey

A lovely day, lots of bluebell and ramsom foliage peeking through.

No woodlarks seen or heard, and no heathland. Hopefully better luck on my next square which has more suitable-looking habitat.

I've just registered with @btobirds.bsky.social to contribute to their #HeathlandBirdSurvey.
Check out the Survey if you're a UK birder.
