Superb views of at least 2 Queen of Spain Fritillaries at Monk Sherborne this afternoon. Also 2 Clouded Yellows. Butterfly photos taken by my son Seth. Great to catch up with @garrybagnell.bsky.social
The Long-Tailed Shrike showed superbly this afternoon great to see @deansmatthew.bsky.social getting an English Tick.
The Long Tailed Shrike on the Oxfordshire side of the border wall bush yesterday early evening
At 5.40pm yesterday when it flew north over the castle I thought that’s my chance gone. 9.12am it’s back at Foryd Bay….1.25pm it’s on the list!! Get in 💪
A superb Red Necked Phalarope along the causeway at Farmoor early afternoon. Showed to a few feet but flew over F1 at 2.50pm and yet to be relocated.
Now cutting the verge isn’t it No Mow May? @rspb.bsky.social @cherwellcouncil.bsky.social
Surely shouldn’t be hedge cutting in bird breeding season? Next to Ardley ERF @rspb.bsky.social @cherwellcouncil.bsky.social
Wood Sandpiper at Bicester Wetlands this morning only the 3rd reserve record. Flew off 10.50 spooked by Sparrowhawk
My copy arrived today what a fantastic achievement I can’t wait for cosy evenings reading and dreaming.
A very productive hour and a half bash on Otmoor late afternoon produced American G P, 3 Glossy Ibis, Cuckoo, Swift and Yellow Wagtail
To often we walk past the common things in life. Stopped at Ardley to look for Yellow Wagtails and saw this very chilled lamb enjoying life
A rare visit to Farmoor this morning with it feeling like a ‘Farmoor Day’. Stunning Adult Med Gull in field opposite the garage then Little Gull and a fly through Sand Martin. The long staying Scaup still on F1.
3 sleeping Bewick’s and a poor record shot of the American Wigeon on Otmoor this afternoon
An hour at Staines late morning. Distant Lesser Scaup, Drake and Fem Scaup, B N Grebe, G N Diver and Black Red. @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Nice to see my 3rd UK Killdeer this morning. 1994 (Holyhead), 2006 (Blakeney) being the other two. Good to see @steveonhilbre.bsky.social and two of his offspring briefly too.
