I was fortunate enough to find this White-winged Tern at Pig Jaw Pit, Etton, Cambs on Tuesday, before it was relocated an hour later by @jrmjones on his patch at Wader Pit, Baston/Langtoft, Lincs @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #birds #ukbirds

Caspian Gulls are rare commodities in the PBC area now, so it was nice to find my second juv bird of the year, through the heat haze on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs this afternoon @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #ukbirds #birds

Redstart movement through the Peterborough area so far this year, has been very slow. So this (presumed) 1cy fem, found yesterday morning by local birder John Rimes, on his Greatford Cut, Lincs patch was very welcome. #birds #ukbirds @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

This moulting adult Black Tern (found by Hugh Wright), spent most of yesterday (14/07) over Pig Jaw Pit, Etton, Cambs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #birds #ukbirds

This superb Squacco Heron is showing superbly well, in and around Crowland, Lincs. Has apparently been entertaining the local fisherman here since the 31/05 @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukrarebirds #birds

This superb Purple Heron, found by Hugh Wright early morning of yesterday, had relocated to the Etton-Maxey reserve, Cambs, where it gave brief glimpses before being lost to view at 5:10pm @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Not often we get views of Crossbill like this in the PBC area. Southey Wood, Cambs, consistently the most reliable place to see them, but can still be fairly elusive @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #birds #ukbirds

Wood Sandpiper on East Pit, Deeping Lakes, Lincs, found this morning by @justwildimages.bsky.social was very obliging, still present at 1705hrs on islands in front of first screen @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #ukbirds #ukrarebirds

Located some Great Bustards whilst visiting the Salisbury Plains, Wiltshire, yesterday. Superb birds, that will hopefully become a self-sustaining population one day #birds #ukbirds

Would have been disrespectful not to post anything of the superb Killdeer, seen with @corpustydickie.bsky.social yesterday down in Ripley, Hants. @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #birds #ukrarebirds

The Great-tailed Grackle did its best to overshadow the distant views of the Killdeer that myself & @corpustydickie.bsky.social enjoyed this morning in Hampshire @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #ukbirds #rarebirds

The Woodlark that’s keeping company with upwards of 65 Skylark at Ferry Meadows, P’boro, Cambs, isn’t an easy bird to see, but it occasionally gives itself up when the flock relocates to the field south of the railway @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @csmbs.bsky.social #ukbirds

The Snow Goose, originally found by @jrmjones.bsky.social left its Deeping Lakes East Pit roost at 0855hrs this morning, heading off to feed on the surrounding frozen fields. @justwildimages.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #rarebirds #ukbirds

The adult Drake Ferruginous Duck was back at Langtoft West End, Lincs this morning, after a period of absence, though true to recent form, remained fairly distant @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirds #rarebirds

Getting fairly decent views of the Dusky Warbler at Brancaster wasn’t too difficult yesterday afternoon, but capturing any sort of image of it was! #birds #rarebirds @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social

I was rather pleased to have found a Firecrest yesterday at Titchwell RSPB, so you can imagine my reaction when it was joined by 3 other roving individuals, feeding yards from the Fen Trail boardwalk @rspb.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #birds

The Yellow-browed Warbler at Ferry Meadows, P’boro, Cambs, was calling regularly, but gave only brief glimpses during the time I was present today, last showing for me at 12:50hrs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds #birds

Much like the Baird’s at Rutland, this juv Pectoral Sandpiper is providing some decent views at Hollowell Reservoir, Northants @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social

The Lesser Yellowlegs continues to entertain at Etton, Cambs, feeding along the south shore of Pig Jaw pit last night @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

The Lesser Yellowlegs was still showing well in the gloomy conditions on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs this morning @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

First Knot in the PBC area this year (I think) was found by @weedonsworld.bsky.social this morning on East Pit, Deeping Lakes, Lincs. Didn’t seem to hang around long, as no further sign by 9.20am @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social @justwildimages.bsky.social

Well the Lesser Yellowlegs relocated this afternoon, to the nearby Silt Pit, Etton, Cambs, where it showed a bit well… @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Local birding royalty Hugh Wright, came up with the goods again, finding this Lesser Yellowlegs on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs. Still present this morning. @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Another bit of footage of the superb Wood Sandpiper at Bainton Pits, Cambs this afternoon @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

No Redstarts or Whinchats, but a very confiding Lesser Whitethroat at Milton airfield, Cambs this morning. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

The Wood Sandpiper was still showing ridiculously well at one of the Bainton Pits, Cambs early afternoon. @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

This Black-necked grebe, found by local birder John Rimes, was fairly obliging this afternoon on the main lake at Deeping Lakes LNR, Lincs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirds

Now that the tip at Tanholt is no longer processing waste, these juv Yellow-legged gulls will be prized year ticks in the PBC area. This one was found by @jrmjones.bsky.social on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs on the 17/07 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds

My take on the Collared Pratincole, RSPB Frampton. Difficult conditions as the bird on both days I went, was always fairly distant & hunkered down due to the wind. So I put on paper, in biro, what I could see…. #ukbirds @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social

Another PBC year tick early this morning, after Hugh Wright found this Turnstone on Martin Pit, Etton, Cambs. Bird was reported as still present at 08:08hrs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds
