During yesterday’s seawatch off Birling Gap this striking bird with a predominately white left wing passed. The right wing appears completely normal. I cannot recall seeing any Brent exhibit this kind of leucism/albinism before

Been a rough couple of months but this young White-tailed Eagle on Pevensey Levels this afternoon in the sunshine helped lift my mood for a bit before flying north east

Very lucky to work a local patch with farmers who are wildlife and bird minded. These Glossy Ibis were found yesterday while they were lookering and still present today on Horseeye Level

Bewicks have always held a special place in my heart. Spent some quality time with the Walland Marsh birds today. iPhone video just captures their soft chickenesque calling
