Crazy selection of waders on Queen Adelaide Pit, Ely just now. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #UKBirding
A great morning on #patch began with finding a Pied Fly, my 2nd of the autumn here, followed by my 2nd ever patch Osprey spotted by @jonheath.bsky.social #PWC26 #Birding #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #BirdSky @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
Quick hour at Dernford Reservoir. Two Temmincks Stints on eastern side and Wood Sand in NW corner @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
Adult Osprey straight through Grafham Water this morning was the highlight of almost 7 hours. Wood Sand, Turnstone, 4cy Caspian Gull, Little Stint and my first autumn Meadow Pipit were other notables @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding
Mud, mud, glorious mud - Isleham Wash finally looking really attractive, after so many dry months. It was lightly raining this afternoon, so surely it would be heaving with Waders, right? Not right. Flushed a Green Sandpiper as I poked my head over the bank. That’s it. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
My 14th species of wader for the day at Grafham Water was this smashing Red-necked Phal (found by Matthew Rodgers this evening). My 4th here but first since 2019 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding
6 hrs at Grafham Water this AM. 87 species (inc 13 wader sp). Highlights; flock of 8 Spotted Redshanks (my largest count ever here - excuse the photo quality!), Wood Sand, Redstart, Whinchat, Caspian Gull, Little Stimt, 14 Greenshank @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding
@cambsbirdclub.bsky.social Juv Black Tern (fairly distant) from dam/tower at Grafham Water - in flight with Common Terns + gulls. Little Stint + 1 Turnstone remain on dam #UKBirding
Turnstones on the move through Grafham Water today. 26 in/out early AM (found by Richard Patient, smashing the site record count of 17); then 7 more this evening (seen by myself), plus the juv which has been present a few days @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @wadertales.bsky.social #ukbirding
Flood it, and they will come. Isleham Wash looking very promising, for the first time in many months. Just a Greenshank and Common Sandpiper, also the first returning Teal, but looking good for the future. Will try and visit more frequently now. #CambsBirds @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
Grafham Water looking low,but it seems the Waders aren't bothered.A nice small mix with a Little Stint thrown in.But best of all was getting an alert for Black Tern at the otherside.It 'terns' out there were 14 Juvenilie dancing above the water.An absolute joy to watch 🙂 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
Little Stint, Turnstone, 4cy Caspian Gull along Grafham dam early AM @birdguides.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding

Nice to be back at the Ouse Washes today. A few Ruff, Snipe and Crane at Cadbury hide but really enjoyed the visitor centre garden with 26 species just from the bench! Spotted Flycatcher didn't seem to mind me for company as it snapped up flies @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding
Nice of 2 Greenshank to drop in for 5 mins this morning, site ✅ but my 5th and 6th patch birds. A flock of 200 Goldfinches surprised me cycling home! #PWC26 #BirdSky #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #Birding @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
