@severnsidebirds.bsky.social Have I managed to find a couple of Curlew Sandpiper amongst the Shaft Beach roost? Mostly Dunlin and Ringed Plover with a couple of Turnstones.

Green Woodpecker in The Glen, New Passage and my first Wheatear of the autumn with @severnsidebirds.bsky.social
This male Kestrel at New Passage was so obliging this morning that I just had to take more photos. After he’d taken off from his nest box perch he kindly landed on the fence post and posed again! @bristolbirding.bsky.social
Snipe showing just how long its bill is in relation to its body! A Grey Heron, Linnet and Black-tailed Godwit
The New Passage female crossbill Kestrel with mate this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social
More of the male and female Common Redstart seen yesterday and today near Pilning Wetland @bristolbirding.bsky.social
Seen on my morning walk past Pilning Wetland this morning. Common Redstart in The Glen, female Kestrel, Snipe feeding with the mixed flock, Heron, Black-tailed Godwit and juvenile Goldfinch @severnsidebirds.bsky.social
Looking towards the footpath and The Glen alongside Chestle Pill at New Passage before the sea defences were raised and the glass panels installed. Those were the days @severnsidebirds.bsky.social
Can anyone identify this dragonfly for me - I’m wondering about Common Darter
@severnsidebirds.bsky.social Grey Wagtail - juvenile? On the gravel turning area you mentioned the other day by Pilning Wetland
Good views of Spoonbill and 7 L RPlover at Pilning Wetland. 3 Yellow wag on the foreshore. Thanks to @oscardewhurst.bsky.social and @matthall95.bsky.social for pointing out the Temiminck’s Stint. Nice to meet @rose-setter.bsky.social and @markcoller.bsky.social and see @aravindramesh19.bsky.social
Lucky enough to be with @severnsidebirds.bsky.social when the Spoonbill dropped in and also got some pretty awful shots of the Temminck’s Stints on Pilning Wetland
My first Sedge Warbler photo - shame about the twig, it completely spoilt all my other photos 🤦♀️ @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding
Black-winged Stilt with Black-tailed Godwit onlookers and a few more, at Pilning Wetland this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding
More images of Black-winged Stilt at Pilning Wetland this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

Some more Kestrel shots from this morning. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding
It was a Kestrel morning - saw this male near Pilning Wetland after my encounter with the pair. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding
Right time, right place - so thrilled to get these heavily cropped shots of a pair of Kestrels. Don’t think he looks too impressed that she’s not sharing! @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding
#southglosbirds nice to see you this morning and here’s my photo of a Ringed Plover and Little Ringed Plover - spot the difference!
Red Kite seen circling on the thermals above Alveston this morning #southglosbirds
Great-crested Grebes are like busses on the Severnside patch - none for 18 months, then 3 in two days! Another one at Severn Beach with @kidphotographer24.bsky.social this morning. Great to see Knot wheeling over the estuary from New Passage #ukbirding
Chiffchaff, Linnets and singing Dunnock on my walk to the pipes at Severn Beach today @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social #southglosbirds
Look at the face! 😍 I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀 It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮 Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦 #birds 🪶
Lovely to see this little flock of 5 Greenfinches at Severn Beach this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social #southglosbirds
