Went for a 2nd visit to Eastleach, the Long-tailed Shrike was on form, much better views were had this time.

Western Reef Heron, thankfully pulled it back after missing out on it two weeks ago in north Wales. Took a trip to Sandy Haven, Pembrokeshire, and didn't disappoint🥳

Excellent twitch to Goonhilly Down with @karleburford.bsky.social for the Lesser Kestrel, didn't look too promising travelling Bristol to Cornwall in the fog, but the bird didn't disappoint😊

Ok, only too me on the wing bars, there looked a lot more grey within them, but ultimately it's you call😊👍🏻

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

My rather crude attempt at a comparison shot, I personally would say two different Birds

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Morning Chris, so I've been through the pic's not got any closed tail shots, soz

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Bonapart's Gull from Saturday at Cheddar Res, nothing new, but had time to edit this morning. @somersetbirds.bsky.social

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Agreed, think this is something @bsky.app potential need to look into, as it's a bit of a let down

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

Anyone else noticed that the photo quality on Bluesky often doesn't do the photo justice, slightly out of focus? I have seen it myself.

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Possibly Chris, but won't be able to show you those until tomorrow/Monday as I am away from home now

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

1st Green Sandpiper of the year for me at Herons Green CVL this morning, thankfully didn't take the ridiculous time it took last year😊 @bristolbirding.bsky.social

Ross's Gull at Newlyn Harbour on Saturday, brilliant showing by this small Gull.

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Yes, I can imagine they are like any other waterfowl, will eventually get used to humans and start to become tame

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Yep, good bird, well done on the find and thankfully it hung around for me to get there😊 And at least it didn't arrive in some park coming to bread👍🏻 Good Luck

Bri Thompson @bri-thompson.bsky.social · 28/01/2026
