Garden birding list just got a whole lot better.. Half a dozen Great Black Backed Gull arrived with roughly 50 Lesser. Also a Corn Bunting on the wires
70 to 80 Crane into roost tonight and 2 Bewick's Swan as well. Pymoor - Ouse Washes
A Yellow Browed Warbler has been reported @WWTWelney this morning
Just got home from work and this is what I can hear from the front garden. 😀
On the approach to Manea this morning 50 odd Crane took off from roost on the Ouse Washes and flew over and alongside my Train for a bit and they then headed north. #Trainbirding 👌
After months of 'are we or aren't we moving'... Found home in a quieter setting. Garden bird list steadily growing. On a flightpath from the Ouse Washes to a local private nature reserve. Had a lone Barnacle Goose over. In another month I should see Whooper Swan's arriving 🙂

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
Thought i would have a peek at the Florence- Rome Direttissima line nearby, opened in 1977! Route speed is 250kmh. An ETR 1000 here almost as quick as a Turbostar!
I've been in Italy (Tuscany) almost a week. Birding initially not easy but found a few brilliant spots. A Lifer this evening which I initially thought was very rare.. A Sacred Ibis went into roost with Great Egrets! Turns out there are almost 10k of Sacred Ibis in the country..
Parked up at West Acre. Cycled upto Holme Observatory as the Icterine Warbler which was ringed in the morning was seen again.. Of course I didn't see it but a fantastic 50 mile ride 🙂
Lot's of fledged Bird's about this afternoon at RSPB Ouse Fen. Sedge and Reed Warbler's and these Bearded Tits! A female Black Necked Grebe made a brief appearance in the reeds...
Dodged the bombsite that is Black Cat roundabout and an intense battle through tonnes of roundabouts at Milton Keynes.. I made it to the Long Tailed Shrike site...Thoroughly deserved those impressive close views! Shrike species number 9 for UK ✅️
Walk around Cavenham Heath, i counted 11 Stone Curlew and a surprising Wheatear for this time of year. Alot of Birds in the dense shade and i flushed out this Tree Pipit
Another Lifer yesterday.. Perched in the splendour of St Margaret's Church in Cley... White Crowned Sparrow ✅️🤭
Some local Birding the past evening @WWTWelney as you can access Gill's Lookout. Has produced Hobby,Snipe's two Spoonbill and Ruff and just down the road near Pymoor some fledged Little Owl 😀
Got a Lifer within an easy reach Hudsonian Godwit.. Within 15mins it decided to fly east perhaps it ended up back at Stutton Mill as it couldn't be relocated
I had just found a Red Grouse and then heard a squeak near my feet and couldnt believe my luck... #Weasel This is an immature and I saw at least two in the burrow
“Onwards we ride, hawk! Onwards… INTO HELL!!!”

Understandably Train Windscreens are very tough.. This was by a Red Kite that couldn't get out the way in time..
Had a Quail sighting yesterday. Last time i saw one was off Spurn on a seawatch
I've had a Lesser Whitethroat briefly singing in my front garden this morning. 🤯
