This male Kestrel at New Passage was so obliging this morning that I just had to take more photos. After he’d taken off from his nest box perch he kindly landed on the fence post and posed again! @bristolbirding.bsky.social

Good views of Spoonbill and 7 L RPlover at Pilning Wetland. 3 Yellow wag on the foreshore. Thanks to @oscardewhurst.bsky.social and @matthall95.bsky.social for pointing out the Temiminck’s Stint. Nice to meet @rose-setter.bsky.social and @markcoller.bsky.social and see @aravindramesh19.bsky.social

Lucky enough to be with @severnsidebirds.bsky.social when the Spoonbill dropped in and also got some pretty awful shots of the Temminck’s Stints on Pilning Wetland

Right time, right place - so thrilled to get these heavily cropped shots of a pair of Kestrels. Don’t think he looks too impressed that she’s not sharing! @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @andy-1963.bsky.social #southglosbirds #bristolbirding

Great-crested Grebes are like busses on the Severnside patch - none for 18 months, then 3 in two days! Another one at Severn Beach with @kidphotographer24.bsky.social this morning. Great to see Knot wheeling over the estuary from New Passage #ukbirding

Look at the face! 😍 I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀 It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮 Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦 #birds 🪶
