As usual, a superb days birding at RSPB Ham Wall and Shapwick Heath.

Yellow Wagtail, Corn Bunting and Skylark showing well near Marshfield, Wilts

Very close views of Reed Bunting at Herriots Bridge, Chew Valley Lake yesterday (but no sign of Osprey, sadly).

Egrets in a tree at Chew Valley Lake today. Good views of Goldeneye too.

I was amazed to stumble across circa 80 Cattle Egrets in a field near Westhay yesterday; no camera sadly, but I managed to capture a ‘Record’ shot with my phone.

A spur-of-the-moment trip to RSPB Ham Wall yesterday. They estimate around 350,000 Starlings are roosting there currently. Totally amazing.

Record shots of the White Tailed Eagle that’s been at Chew Valley Lake for the last few days. Not the greatest photos, but it was at some distance.

An interesting ‘local’ day out on the border between Wiltshire and South Gloucs. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Two twitches today; Black Redstart at Oldbury Power Station, then Glossy Ibis at Slimbridge, followed by a tour of WWT Slimbridge.

Very clear views of Jupiter this evening; you can even make out 3 of its moons.

Simple pleasures are seeing what visitors you get on your garden feeders.

Who is watching who ? 🤔

Sad news, but such an amazing read.

Today’s Gull challenge… This was taken at Stratford hide, Chew Valley lake. My initial thought was LBB gull; Safari ‘Look-up’ says GBB gull. Any thoughts ? 🤔 @bristolbirding.bsky.social

Mistle Thrush in our garden in warm afternoon light.

Several Common Gull, Lesser Black Backed and Herring Gull at Wick Quarry this afternoon. Better gull identification is my winter project. 🤔

Just setting out on my BlueSky journey. Look out for Birding related posts with a focus on South West UK. 🤓
