Amazing to see the worm this barwit got actually inside it's bill. !!. Also to see how the barwits bill curves upward. Spot redshank looks a bit gangly out of mud & water I don't normally see all its leg length. 22 cattle egret,1 greenshank & 4 pintail also seen at Otter NR. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.

Shame, really is mate you and your blogs help me and others I know.

leonwr.bsky.social @leonwr.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

To be honest mate although we love your blogs if it's just numbers you are after then it's not helping you.But turn it another way & think if my blog helps only 1 person get into birding or out of that bad place they are in then it was worth it.But main thing for you is get out in nature & love it

Popped over seaton wetlands this morning to see if wryneck was still about but no sign. No osprey= no osprey hunters so could get into tower hide 😲 for a change but was quiet from there, island hide was great for reflections & had nice close up of these 2 Curlew sandpipers. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.

Also a phone snap of a SEO nr stantaway farm.Someone once told me no point taking pics of knot as they are boring. I disagree. This 1 was at seaton wetlands this morning. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.

Great blog as ever mate. You are getting up and personal to some quality birds lately. Well deserved as well all the effort you put in. It beats them being a blob on the horizon ! 😂.

Nice one Carl. The extra benefit of having a camera with a bird like that. Probably no chance with digi scope pics I take.

A few birds starting to move at last though I've not been out much. But nice to see a autumn wheatear and a distant little stint at Otter NR, Redshank looked good in the sun and a returning knot. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.
