One of the 2 Yellow-browed Warblers in gardens along Kingsdown Leas #Bockhill this morning.
The Yellow-browed Warbler that showed very briefly at Hope Point #Bockhill this morning with @jayjc01.bsky.social
We often wonder where our autumn Stonechats come from
This bird, 3-OG, has been on site for the last 2 days.
It was ringed as a juvenile at Foveran Links, south of Newburgh, Aberdeenshire on 20/7/26.
It has travelled at least 717 Km to get to #Bockhill.
A single Lapwing in-off #Bockhill this morning is not the stuff of dreams, but shows autumn is rolling on....
These 7 Cattle Egrets had been in #Bockhill airspace prior to landing in a nearby field at St. Margaret's.
Lovely words Steve
Best bird of the day #Bockhill had to wait until this evening, with Dartford Warbler on Kingsdown Rifle Butts, plus Shag.
This smart Flame Brocade from last night was only my 2nd, following one on 15 Oct 2025.
Absolute highlight of the autumn #Bockhill this morning was this pod of 8 Bottle-nosed Dolphins moving down channel.
Pick of the trap - Clifden Nonpareil.
You too, always good to actually meet people!
A 22-degree halo first thing, with plenty of Chiffchaffs, 2 Black Redstarts and 9 Greenfinch (I was hoping for green & yellow, but smaller with more stripes!).
Highlights for me #Bockhill today: Oct Hobby & 1st site record of Willow Emerald (3 in the Farm Wood).
The fabulous Crimson Speckled kicked up by @philbockhill.bsky.social during a very wet morning #Bockhill.
Bird highlights: Merlin and 19 Brambling.
Typical end of September species #Bockhill today: 16 Stonechat, increase in Meadow Pipits, Reed Bunting & late(ish) Whitethroat.
Caspian & Yellow-legged Gull at Kingsdown Rifle Butts this morning.
Haha, I wish
Remember it well. How many years?!
Pick of last night's trap: Ni Moth and 2 smart Vestal.
Convolvulus Hawk-moth the best from last night's trap. Always great to see.
