Classic Black Redstart - on a construction site. One of 3 enjoying Waterbeach Barracks housing development today. Miraculously, I saw one immediately! A welcome change of form from my usual Restart dipping 😅 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding

Another good #patch trip joined by @noahbai-123.bsky.social and others. 2 Black Redstarts still present, as well as 2 Bitterns, both showing well. Remarkable for such a small area of reeds #PWC26 #Birds #BirdSky #Nature #Wildlife #Photography

Migfest was as enjoyable as ever this year and nice to be able to catch up with everyone as well as see some birds. Some of my personal highlights were Sooty Shearwater, Little Stint, Curlew Sandpipers and migrating Pink-footed Geese on Sunday. @david-walsh.bsky.social @lucasnature.bsky.social

After what seems to have been a very poor autumn for them locally it was a surprise to see a Garganey at the Cambridge Research Park today - only my second patch record @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

#Migfest was a blast as always, and an honour to be a finalist of MGSYB. Too many people and birds to mention, so my top 3: SEOs hunting, male Black Red and some very obliging Sanderling, latter 2 down the point #BirdSky #Birds #Photography #Nature #Wildlife #UkBirding @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social

Nice to see a few waders on patch over the last couple days, there usually isn't much mud here in autumn so the drought has certainly had an impact #PWC26 #birding #photography #nature #wildlife #birds @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

It was brilliant to spend time with @david-walsh.bsky.social looking for dragonflies after seconds of the Hudsonian Godwit. We saw five species of damselfly including many White-legged Damselflies, a lifer!
