A perfect afternoon of local patch birding with 9 Whooper Swans seen to drop into Tyttenhanger GPs & then a Cattle Egret was found amongst the gulls. Breaks my previous local year record taking me to 154 species this year seen within 5 miles of home! #hertsbirds #londonbirds

It's been a slow but steady few months on the patch near St Albans. At the weekend, a Wigeon was new for the year. But today, I found a #patchgold Dartford Warbler. A patch tick (29 years!) and Herts rarity. Fortunately my photographer @RupertEvershed was on hand today. #PWC2025

Really sad to have to announce that Steve Blake @blakey9 passed away last night after a long battle with illness. He will be greatly missed, not least as a good friend to many, a great birder and the man behind Herts Bird News @hertsbirds #hertsbirds #londonbirds 😢

This is what Spring is all about - bumping into a couple of Whimbrel in the fields near home! Sorry @JohnPri52195972 for pilfering your patch! 😂 @Hertsbirds #Hertsbirds

Short clip of the male Garganey present with a female at Stanborough GPs this morning. If you listen carefully you can just hear its rattling display call. Lovely to see & see. @Hertsbirds #hertsbirds

Mist this morning has dropped a few Redwings and Song Thrushes into the garden. 5 Fieldfares north yesterday adds to the sense of movement. @JohnPri52195972 @Hertsbirds #hertsbirds

A few of the Rock Pipit this morning at Stanborough GPs - munching on a ladybird 🐞 in one shot! An annual visitor to the pits but always nice to find one inland. @Hertsbirds #Hertsbirds
