A Black Redstart more than made up for an otherwise very quiet afternoon patch walk. #Patchworkchallenge#UKbirding

A very late afternoon visit to Morton floods with lots going on. c500 Lapwing, c200 LBBG, c40 Teal, Shelduck, c25 Shoveler and at least 17 Pintail.

AlanDawson @cholseybirder.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

So many flooded fields for the Pintail to choose from at the moment, so why not visit Cholsey for a change. #PWC2025 #UKBirding

I feared these little lovelies may have moved off patch after so much disturbance over the last week of cutting the willows right back, clearing the ditches, heavy machinery, bonfires etc. How happy was I this morning to see this.

A quick visit to Henley Road GPs to have a look at the magnificent male Smew that Ben Sheldon found yesterday along with the redhead. Although distant, and hidden for most of my time they were an absolute pleasure to see.

Very quiet day on the local patch, but the Corn Buntings are always a welcome sight. One of c15 this morning. #UKbirding

Late afternoon walk with my dog Bella with light disappearing fast, (3.30) so very pleased to stumble across a Sanderling on my patch. A first for Cholsey.

Grey Plover seems to have moved just outside of my patch now at South Morton floods,providing its the same bird of course.

AlanDawson @cholseybirder.bsky.social · 16/10/2024

Grey Plover was a nice find on my local patch today amongst c60 Golden Plover.

Awful day for birding but did find something a little different on the patch in the way of this Leucistic Black-headed Gull #ukbirding#birds

Marsh Harrier on my local patch this morning, unfortunately not a very good photo but just seeing the bird more than made up for that. #ukbirding

Cattle Egret on the patch today here in Cholsey, Oxfordshire. They’re doing really well further north of the county but this bird is only the second recorded here in Cholsey.

3 Whinchat on my local patch of Cholsey today made up for what was otherwise a very quiet day. #ukbirding #patchbirding

My first post on Bluesky and my first autumn Whinchat passing through the parish of Cholsey, Oxfordshire. #ukbirding#PWC2024#birds@patchbirding
