@severnsidebirds.bsky.social Grey Wagtail - juvenile? On the gravel turning area you mentioned the other day by Pilning Wetland

The second Painted Lady I’ve seen this spring.

An obliging Barn Swallow

@severnsidebirds.bsky.social is this a Barnacle Goose? In the Pill, New Passage just now

Good views of Spoonbill and 7 L RPlover at Pilning Wetland. 3 Yellow wag on the foreshore. Thanks to @oscardewhurst.bsky.social and @matthall95.bsky.social for pointing out the Temiminck’s Stint. Nice to meet @rose-setter.bsky.social and @markcoller.bsky.social and see @aravindramesh19.bsky.social

Lucky enough to be with @severnsidebirds.bsky.social when the Spoonbill dropped in and also got some pretty awful shots of the Temminck’s Stints on Pilning Wetland

My first Sedge Warbler photo - shame about the twig, it completely spoilt all my other photos 🤦‍♀️ @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

Black-winged Stilt with Black-tailed Godwit onlookers and a few more, at Pilning Wetland this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

More images of Black-winged Stilt at Pilning Wetland this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

Some more Kestrel shots from this morning. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

It was a Kestrel morning - saw this male near Pilning Wetland after my encounter with the pair. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

Right time, right place - so thrilled to get these heavily cropped shots of a pair of Kestrels. Don’t think he looks too impressed that she’s not sharing! @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

#southglosbirds nice to see you this morning and here’s my photo of a Ringed Plover and Little Ringed Plover - spot the difference!

A pair of Gadwall at the pipes, Severn Beach @severnsidebirds.bsky.social

Red Kite seen circling on the thermals above Alveston this morning #southglosbirds

Great-crested Grebes are like busses on the Severnside patch - none for 18 months, then 3 in two days! Another one at Severn Beach with @kidphotographer24.bsky.social this morning. Great to see Knot wheeling over the estuary from New Passage #ukbirding

Chiffchaff, Linnets and singing Dunnock on my walk to the pipes at Severn Beach today @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social #southglosbirds

Look at the face! 😍 I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀 It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮 Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦 #birds 🪶

Lovely to see this little flock of 5 Greenfinches at Severn Beach this morning @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social #southglosbirds

My best attempts at photographing the Hooded Merganser on Pilning Wetland. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social #southglosbirds

@andy-1963.bsky.social @severnsidebirds.bsky.social these are the best two photos, what do you think?

Red squirrel on the Isle of Wight

@severnsidebirds.bsky.social 8 White-fronted Geese on Northwick Wharf plus 41 Greylag and 4 Shoveler on Northwick Wharf flash

The White Fronted Geese having a well earned rest mid-morning New Passage

Black-tailed Godwits coming into roost on Northwick Wharf this afternoon

Black-tailed Godwits above Greylag and Canada Geese at New Passage this afternoon

Help please! Male or female Kestrel?

@severnsidebirds.bsky.social what is this small duck with the Wigeon please?

So many Meadow Pipits and Robins between New Passage and Severn Beach

Common Sandpiper in reflective mood on Pilning Wetland

Glossy Ibis and Grey Heron.. WWT Slimbridge last weekend.. #ukbirding #Slimbridge

Buzzard on rocks at ‘the bubble’, Shaft Rocks, Severn Beach this morning and was still there 40 mins later, but had moved to post @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social

At Severn Beach today male eclipse Wigeon, Blackcap (can’t tell if it’s male or female but I suspect female) 2 male Stonechats and, I think a male Reed Bunting. Also 6 Little Egrets with 2 Grey Herons, 3 Wheatears, 9 Turnstones with 2 Ringed Plovers

A Grey Plover at Severn Beach this morning and the Turnstones were on Shaft Beach again. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social

Spotted Flycatcher at pipes end of Severn Beach, Wheatear and Little Egret on Severn Beach salt marsh and my first Turnstones of the autumn at Shaft Beach roost - approx 20 of them. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social

A Curlew Sandpiper behind the Dunlin and a possible half-hidden CS at New Passage - please correct me if I’m wrong!

@severnsidebirds.bsky.social is this a Whinchat? I have never seen one before. It was on the rocks at New Passage this morning with a Wheatear. I thought it was a strange juvenile Wheatear until I looked at it properly at home!

My first Wheatear of the autumn Severn Beach

Love the sounds of the estuary on a quiet autumn morning - wigeon, redshank, curlew and of course, the Canada Geese - New Passage
