A nice start to the day at Needingworth gravel pits. Finally got some good Turtle Dove views @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding #lowcarbonbirding

An atmospheric morning at Needingworth gravel pits. Purring Turtle Doves, booming Bittern and a Cuckoo was quite the soundtrack to start the day. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #UKbirding

An early cycle to @rspb.bsky.social Ouse Fen this morning was rewarded with great views of the Great Reed Warbler, plus little ringed plover, common sandpiper and dunlin @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #lowcarbonbirding

A very obliging Short-eared Owl at Ouse Fen this evening. It sat in this patch of grass for around 30 mins, giving great views. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding #cambirds

Reminder to check in (and through!) every bush - you never know what might turn up. In this case a patch year tick of a pair of avocets at Needingworth quarry lakes this afternoon. Brief phone-scoped footage through heat haze and vegetation won't win any prizes. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding

Nice to see a pair of red-crested pochard among the black-headed gull colony on Barleycroft Lake this afternoon @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #UKbirding

2 spoonbill high over Needingworth gravel pits just now before heading NE. Presumably the pair who've been frequenting the washes at Earith recently. #ukbirding @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Had the first three sand martin of the year over Ouse Fen this evening @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Feeling very fortunate to see a preening bittern on my lunchtime walk today, on the gravel pits on the west side of Ouse Fen #UKbirding @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Saw a nice fox on my lunchtime walk. Turns out the fox was also on a lunch break... #FoxOfTheDay #nature @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
