This smart Black Redstart looked right at home between the boulders of Winterstoke Steps at King George Park. A welcome #PWC2026 addition having missed any early spring arrivals ebird.org/checklist/S4... #kentbirding

An Arctic Tern (#143) was a year tick past Herne Bay Downs this morning. Also 3 Raven west along the coast. @kentishplover.bsky.social #kentbirding

Another day with decent spread of species with the main highlights being the 1st big Brent movement of the autumn along with a bit of Vis-Mig, Woodlark & Tree Sparrows being scarcities, full list below on @trektellen.bsky.social @kentishplover.bsky.social #trektellen #kentbirding #birdinguk #uk

A visit to Sevenoaks Nature Reserve today got me Cetti’s Warbler, Red Kite, Wigeon, Lesser Black-backed Gull, 2 Pochard, 4 Ring-necked Parakeet, plus was nice to end my visit watching a Kingfisher feeding. @kentishplover.bsky.social @kentwildlife.bsky.social #kentbirding #birdwatching

First decent autumnal movement of Dark-bellied Brent Geese at Sandwich/Pegwell Bay @sandwichbirdobs.bsky.social. From 08.55-11.25, 1600+ N mid/offshore up channel plus coming in/N through the Thanet (300MW/100 turbine) Array in a SW breeze then after resting/reorientating 285S inshore. #KentBirding

Back to familiar territory! Decent variety at King George VI Park: the second Yellow-browed Warbler, five Firecrests and Thrushes arriving in-off. Plus first significant push of wildfowl with 687 Brent Geese amongst others ebird.org/checklist/S4... #PWC2026 #kentbirding

Get out there!
Thrushes and finches on the move currently even inland.

A decent day for counts of certain species plus a nice selection with a few goodies thrown in at North Foreland yesterday @kentishplover.bsky.social @trektellen.bsky.social #trektellen #kentbirding #birding #uk

KOS Weekly Highlights: an interesting Black Kite, a colour-ringed Hoopoe, owls in the hand and an increase in Chaffinches. See kentos.org.uk for all details. #kentbirding

3 Redwings over the garden this morning, in Doddington on the #KentDowns. #KentNature #KentBirding

On the land there was a Wheatear, a Reed Warbler, 72 Chiffchaff, two each of Firecrest and Goldcrest. Passage over the sea was quiet, but there were still plenty of birds feeding offshore including a Black Tern. Wildfowl moving past included nine Brent Goose, 10 Wigeon and five Teal. #kentbirding

Over 5000 Chaffinches in off so far today in wet conditions with lesser numbers of other common migrants arriving too. Counts to follow later. #kentbirding

On one of our recent owl catching sessions, we caught a 1cy male Barn Owl that was ringed elsewhere. Expecting it to be somewhere local, due to the fact that most don't move very far, we were surprised to find it was ringed 134km away as a chick on 23rd May near Touchen End. #kentbirding

This morning gave a little arrival but by late morning nearly everything had gone through. Totals include a Yellow-browed Warbler, 100 Chiffchaff, 24 Blackcap, 53 Song Thrush, three Redwing and a Brambling. Overhead 500 Swallow, 220 House Martin, 9 Grey Wagtail, 130 Meadow Pipit... #kentbirding

A decent morning ringing in the Trapping Area with a Yellow-browed Warbler and a Brambling the highlights. There was the first decent arrival of Song Thrushes of the autumn with at least 40 recorded. #kentbirding

Highlights over the last two days around Reculver/Minnis Bay have been a male & female bearded tit yesterday, a dartford warbler today. Plenty of chiffchaff, a few blackcap, the odd firecrest. Butterflies still on the wing, including wall brown, clouded yellow & small copper. #kentbirding
