Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 12hWe were on the seat at LS for an hour on Sunday morning. No sign of Meds, then they just started to appear all along... no idea where from unless roosting in fields at high tide.. 010
Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 13hLovely, reminds me of the Greeny in the Observers book of Birds...👍 130

Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hi Molly, thanks, like all Terriers, we tend to get our staff to pamper us... 020
Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I don't see much variation in them here. I used to catch a good few but much rarer in recent years with only this one caught this year. 010
Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What do you think about it? There's been a few recently on the coast but I remain to be convinced that they're foreign. More likely over stretched UK birds roaming out to sea and coming back on track I reckon.. 250
Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When we stay in holiday lets, the visitors book always gets a picture from me while Jane writes the text. I think it's better than praising the quality of the curtains or whatever...😁 #Birdart #Birdsketches #HolidayCottages 2271

Stewart @stewchat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Called in to see the Starling roost at Snape Maltings. About 5k arrived and did a few laps before straight to bed. Also in attendance were an adult Hobby and a juv Marsh Harrier. The show was won by a load of big Mullet in the river! #SuffolkBirding #Suffolk #Fish 0240
