Montagu's Harrier at Tealham Moor this evening (18 May 2026)

Barn Owl at Ham Wall RSPB. They've got some fat young judging by the amount of food they were carrying. Plus a few less Water Voles!

Crazy views of Pomarine Skua off Burnham on Sea this evening (13 May 2026).

I've tried for years to photograph Grasshopper Warbler. This one today (25 April 2026) along the Parrett Estuary.

The Dusky Warbler this morning (6 April 2026) at Boscathnoe Reservoir.

Killdeer at the beautiful Chapel Amble. We happened to be relatively nearby, which was convenient!

Chiffchaff with a classic 'pollen horn' this morning at Berrow. Bird migration often blows my tiny mind.

The Cheddar Bonaparte's Gull this morning (23 March 2026) showing its funky tail pattern.

Spotted Sandpiper at CVL this morning. Much easier with a smaller lens.

Eventually, views of the female Red-footed Falcon at Ham Wall (5 May 2025) #somersetbirding

Glaucous Gull on Thurso beach this morning (12/04/2025).

Wryneck in Kenidjack found, of course, by Emma!

Kentish Plover at Burnham-on Sea this morning (6 March 25)

Black Woodpecker near Kalmar, southern Sweden.

Lots of White-tailed Eagles around Kalmar, Southern Sweden, with several loafing around on the sea ice.

First day in Sweden, and it's cold. A random stop at a frozen lake found a big flock of mainly Taiga Bean Geese with a White-tailed Eagle causing occasional havoc!

Three Common Crane over RSPB Ham Wall at the weekend.

Kentish Plover showing relatively well on Burnham beach this morning.

Black-necked Grebe at Cheddar Reservoir this morning (25 January 2025)

On Saturday (18 January 2025) the Cornwall Booted Eagle spent lots of time perched. This gave many people a good opportunity to scope the bird.

I took far too many images! Least Sandpiper, Steart, 11 January 2025.

Least Sandpiper at WWT Steart this morning (11 January 2025). It showed much better today.

Least Sandpiper at Steart WWT this morning (4/1/2025)

Green-winged Teal at Catcott Lows this afternoon (4/1/2025)

From my archive, this is the Temminck's Stint that was present at Steart on almost the exact same date back in 2013.

Here’s a slightly sharper vid.

Some of the best very local birds in 2024, although I only found one of them! Let's hope 2025 is as good, or preferably better.

The Kentish is showing now on Stert Island, so it’s possible to do the Somerset Kentish Baikal double!

I’ve been on here a few weeks only, and so far my limited experience is worse than many, many years on the other site. A shame as I was told good things.

Merlin at RSPB Greylake during terrible Storm Bert weather on Sunday.

Kentish Plover still distantly off Burnham at lunchtime.
