A few photos from Spurn, taken on 9/7/2026 when the heat haze made taking photos of birds more than 5 meters away very challenging.
Well worth getting up for the sunrise over Flamborough Head on the 9th July 2026
Bitterns this morning at WWT Slimbridge #WWTSlimbridgeSighting #Glosbirds #ukbirding
Good to see at least 2 of the Kestrels that fledged on the 20/6 are still around and looking good. #ukbirding
Spent the morning in the shade of my house, photographing whatever turned up. #ukbirding
Not one but two newly fledged Kestrel's on my Kitchen roof this morning 😀
Paid a long overdue visit to Skomer Island yesterday. Watching the Puffins go about their business just made me smile. @birdsinwales.bsky.social @skomerisland.bsky.social @wtsww.bsky.social #ukbirding #birds

I had a stroll around Crab Tree Hill and down to Drybrook station, in the Forest of Dean, this morning. Lots of Chiffchaff, Willow Warblers and Stonechats; however, in the 3 hours I was there, I only came across one Wood Warbler. #Glosbirds

Pictures taken yesterday at Cleeve Hill, no Ring Ouzles!!, and Coombe Hill Meadows.
My first Reed and Sedge Warblers of the year @wwtsightings.bsky.social yesterday, along with a Common Sandpiper. LRP and a Bean Goose. The swimming Grass Snake was a great addition to the day list. @wwtworldwide.bsky.social #ukbirding
This morning I visited Bodenham lakes, Herefordshire, in the hope of seeing the long-staying Ring-necked duck. While always distant, I did manage a few shots. #herefordbirds #UKbirding
