@leicesterllama.bsky.social you and Carls guidance and finesse is the foundation for this report. All I do is mess about and tick off your proof comments off and then somehow it come together. Glad you like the end result.

#nocmigwebinar #wildlifeacoustics fun facts - my fun fact is reading Bobs chat comment stating he loves a good spectrogram...... this is clearly a joke as trailing through hours and hours of grey matter on audacity definately makes your eyes bleed....🤣🤣🤣

Eyebrook Reservoir's run of good birds continues with this smart male American Wigeon I found at the island this afternoon. The 5th site record, and the first since 2002. Loads of wildfowl there at the moment including c1300 Tufted Ducks & 400 Pochard. #VC55Birds #UKBirding

So a pretty hectic weekend. Regretting not getting migfest tickets now or planning it in. So one eye on east coast reports. I decided to stay localish till the #Sabines report from Redmire Reservoir came in. Also managed to see a spotshank on Long lane GP and 3 new Wigeon #ukbirding #vc55birds

Residing at Redmire Reservoir. A lovely location.

#ukbirding #vc55birds #crofthill still no flycatchers. Loads of flying ants. Best was C80 #housemartin / #Swallow mix. Some young #chaffinch and a pair of #chiffchaff. Nice sunset too

#ukbirding 6hrs invested dipping the #hudsoniangodwit nice #wheatear though. Strange the sighting was called while there was only 4 of us left. Guess the others on the opposite ridge saw it?? I most certainly could not pick it out. 3 main flocks to work through and so very distant.

##ukbirding @RSPBFrampton #bairdssandpiper #curlewsandpiper #wheatear wet morning on the east coast. Bairds was a welcome sight, then a fleeting view of the juvenile Temms Stint. Waders of all shapes and sizes. Then a hop to South Anston for head only views of my 2nd migrating #dotterel #birds

#WeBS #ukbirding #vc55birds #lockingtonmarsh nice morning on webs count. #Redstarts in sheep field (Rhys Dandy) and glad but sad to see the last 4 juvenile Black-headed Gulls getting ready for the off. Thanking #tarmac for their cooperation in withholding works until the colony was fledged

Eyebrook Res, Leics - 28th July 2024 and a number of county birders were heading to Eyebrook for an adult Roseate Tern found by Andy Mackay. Only the 7th county record and thankfully it stayed around for most of the afternoon. #ukbirding #vc55birds

#ukbirding #cromer #caspian #ylg Early start for a morning meet with Gull type folk at Sunny Cromer. I think we ended up 7 Caspians and at least 2 Yellow-legs. Brilliant morning. It did feel we may have left it too late, but they came eventually. Beautiful birds.

#crofthill - The Ants were out in big numbers last night. A nice Oak Bush Cricket and a ground Beetle with a thin Thorax. Birds - Juv Kestrel, Peregrine, Juv Linnets, Goldfinch, Chaffinch. Dull and dismal, definitely not Spot Fly Weather.
