@lesserspotnet.bsky.social one of two new nests found in The Blean this weekend. Three chicks in the nest but no sign of the adult female
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social parents busy this morning - at least 18 feed visits in a 50min period
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social active nest in The Blean. Too high for camera inspection equipment, but both adults (mostly the male) seem bringing food and removing faecal sacs. Distant record shot attached
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social The Blean, 11th April. He spent much of the morning flicking out wood chips and his mate popped by on a couple of occasions
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social will be interesting to see if this is the start of a nest cavity - the male in the first pic was seen pecking at it for a minute or two yesterday morning
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social took five hours to locate this little fella - The Blean, Kent, 21st March
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social male lesser spot in the early morning gloom - The Blean, Kent 7th March
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social My sites at The Blean are slow to start this year - very quiet again today, but here’s one of two birds seen this morning
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social Birds were very quiet this morning, but this male (and a female) eventually showed well. The Blean, Kent
First LSW visit for 2026 and two birds seen chasing each other. Here’s a (very poor quality) video of a female. The Blean, Kent, 31st January
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social Mum and dad together - Kent, 25th May 2025
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social A presumed unpaired male. He’s been scrapping with another male - including some spectacular mid-air tussles - on each of my last four visits
@lesserspotnet.bsky.social drumming male - Kent on Saturday morning
