A stop off on my way to the Lake District at Belmont Reservoir (Lancashire) for the juvenile male Pallid Harrier. Turned up just after it reappeared, though a bit distant #BOCshot #LancsBirding #ukrarity #ukrarebird @ukraritiesdaybyday.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social

A brief stop back at Herriotts Pool, Chew Valley Lake, after work for the juvenile Lesser Yellowlegs. Bonus of 5 Spoonbills visible on the other side of the road feeding on main lake #somersetbirds #ukrarebird #ukrarity @somersetbirds.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social

An evening at Salisbury Plain, Everleigh (Wiltshire) for the juvenile Pallid Harrier. Took a bit of finding but seen well a couple of times. Also 15+ Clouded Yellows still about #ukrarity #ukrarebird #ukbirding @btoengland.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social
