Very nice, well done!

Good to see you and the Kent mob yesterday - hope you have an excellent week! Good to hear the Sora showed ten minutes after we left (having previously been seen ten minutes before we arrived)!

oh, and it feels like a Nutcracker day 🙂 we”ll see!

Oh gosh, lovely notes Steve. Dungeness will miss Pete 💔

Wretched is more the word I’d use 🤨 I’ll try to find something better, shouldn’t be too difficult.

Having got to 49 species in three visits to Dunorlan’ this month I’ve not moved that total on in another two. I have seen some rubbish though and can share these with you.

Nice one indeed Neil. I’ve still only seen one at both former patches where they remain stubbornly difficult (Bough Beech and Haysden). Haysden was almost 40 years ago now! A bird we’ll never tire of stumbling across I’m sure.

Hi Kirsty, closely related of course. The faces of those who got there in time were, I should imagine, not exhibiting a cross face 😀

I wonder if this is the most understated birding post of the year. Wowser, and well done Hugh!

Sunfish must have been hungry. It presumably waved to say thank you for its breakfast.

👍🏻

I strongly urge anyone interested in wildlife to take part in the survey as a matter of urgency! It took less than 5 minutes of my time.

Big Kent Bird Migration Day. Participants enjoyed Seawatching and Vis Migging and watched a ringing demonstration at the Observatory. Thank you helpers and Peter Eerdman from KOS for the organisation.

Not sure how I managed to miss those posts, thank you!

Another Ivy Bee nesting aggregation, this time in St James' churchyard, Tunbridge Wells. There are probably about 400 individual burrows here, some so close together there's no bare ground between the heaps of spoil
