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
A quieter week #patchbirding, although 2 year ticks with GWE and Spot Fly. A handsome drake Wigeon and Lesser Whitethroats have also kept me entertained. #BirdSky #PWC26 #Birding #Nature #Photography #Wildlife #Birds
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
My first #patch Wheatear of the autumn was a nice surprise on an otherwise quiet morning @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #BirdSky #PWC26 #Nature #Photography #Wildlife #UKBirding

Some good #nocmig birds over my Cambs garden in the past week, including Dunlin, Whimbrel, LRP and Barn Owl @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #birds #sound #birding
Great to catch up with @david-walsh.bsky.social in Suffolk today. Hudsonian Godwit and White-legged Damselflies were both new for me and seen fairly well, Wasp Spiders cool to see as always. #birds #photography #nature #birding #wildlife
Nice to see a few waders on patch over the last couple days, there usually isn't much mud here in autumn so the drought has certainly had an impact #PWC26 #birding #photography #nature #wildlife #birds @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
