Despite the windy conditions today the @MiltonCountryPk Yellow-browed Warbler showed really well along with 4+ Chiffchaff @CambsBirdClub @GobirdmadLister #patchbirding #lowcarbonbirding #LocalBigYear

Great gull session at the Research Park today with @Duerdenc1. At least 10 Caspian Gulls and over 20 colour-rings read but a shame the Long Drove Glaucous Gulls are reluctant to drop in @CambsBirdClub

There have been no confirmed records of Rough-legged Buzzard in Cambs since 2019 and no Great Grey Shrike since winter 2021/22

Disappearing winter birds: no records of any Iceland Gull, Rough-legged Buzzard, Great Grey Shrike and remarkably no Smew so far this winter in Cambridgeshire @CambsBirdClub

What can you give to a river that needs everything? This Christmas I decided to give my river the gift of life, in the form of willows trees. I headed out on the River Roding in my canoe, from sunrise to sunset on the shortest day of the year, to see if I could hand harvest &

A brute 1cy argentatus Herring Gull at the Research Park this morning @CambsBirdClub

Glaucous Gull and Shore Larks on the beach at Old Hunstanton in some rare sunshine on Saturday

Little Auk at Grafham Water today. First seen off Mander car park before it drifted into Valley Creek and onto the shoreline, then it was sadly taken by a Red Kite. All over in about 20 mins from when I first saw it @CambsBirdClub

1500 pink footed geese feeding ⁦@WWTWelney⁩ on lady fen. Birds reacting to less sugar beet grown in Norfolk this year? Would be lovely if they became regular in the Fens again
