Getting a bit crazy now! Just found this cracking Kentish Plover giving great views at the Carnsew Pool high tide roost (Hayle)! 4 find ticks in 4 days 🤯

Totalled up the Wilson’s reported off Cornwall in July. 103!. Nice to get in on the action with @Hull17Matt today with 1 off PG. Also Black Tern, Cory’s, Balearic, 4 Sooty, 63 Stormy 615-11 @CBWPS1.

Another week, another crap pic. Caspian Tern again currently from Estuary Tower 1105 @slimbridge_wild

Not that you’d know from pic but nice to see my first juv YLG of the year. Not many signs of new waders in the rain, but still managed 11 Com and 11 Green Sands, 9 Blackwit across Blagdon & CVL 🍂

A lovely evening cycle around Badminton area (NE Avon) made much better by my 3rd Quail singing away and some showy Little Owls nearby ☀️ @bristolbirding

1s male Desert Wheatear, Keynsham. Occasional sub song too.

Didn’t expect the Eastville Pink-foot to be the second best bird I saw in Bristol this week!

Top afternoon y’day on Salisbury Plain. 7 Stone-curlew, 5 Grey Partridge, 3 Whinchat, 5 Yellow Wag and Corn Buntings everywhere. All very rare or non-existent breeders in Cornwall!

Slimbridge White-spotted Bluethroat showing really well today, both sides of the hide. My first time for it, but gather it’s not always that easy! @slimbridge_wild

Fairly quiet bank holiday, but nice to catch up with my fourth Bonaparte’s Gull on my old patch in the last two years, seemingly commoner than Ring-billeds now @CBWPS1

Not many better ways to spend a Spring afternoon than listening to Wood Warblers. 5 in a short walk in the Quantocks this afternoon, where an okay population still persists @Hull17Matt

Super cool to see this Spot Fly head past me at eye level, gain height and begin to cross the Bristol Channel before bottling it and diving back down to the edge of Sand Point this morning. Also Yellow Wag, 2 Tree Pipit, 42 Swift over @bristolbirding

Amazing evening at Goldcliff. Broad-billed was as good as I hoped, my first spring Wood Sand seemingly dropped in for 10 mins at 7pm, plus 25 Greenshank, 3 Ruff, some stunning Godwits, Green-winged Teal and 2 Lesser throat!

The cracking start to the Spring continues with Savi’s Warbler reeling & showing fairly well at Mz this evening. 3rd pasty tick of the year already! @CBWPS1

Glorious, still evening on Severnside with some migrants. Reed & Sedge W, 3 Whitethroat, 97 Barwit (55 v high NE), 14 Whimbrel, 2 Yellow Wag (one of which flava x iberiae type), J Snipe. Y’day morning Yellow Wag & 260 Mipit over, Gropper, Brent @bristolbirding

Cornwall county rarities in the first 8 days of April 2024 (left) and this year (right). Shows what some nice Southeasterlies can do! And it doesn’t include all the Hoopoes and the Accentor!

@FrankHawkins1 @BobBosisto @CBWPS1 Ends at 50 seconds, not sure where the extra minutes came from.

@FrankHawkins1 @BobBosisto @CBWPS1.

Mixed Willow/Chiff singer at Kenidjack today, second in as many years. Of the phrases it did. c60% mixed song, c30% pure Chiff and c10% pure Willow. Looks-wise a bit in-betweeny too

Kenidjack: Blue-headed type Wag low North, 3 Ring Ouzel, 5 Black Redstart, 11 Willow Warbler, 14 Chiff. Botallack: 2 Black Red, c50 Wheatear, House Martin @CBWPS1.

Rather nice start to a Friday 😃 @CBWPS1
