Two cool waders at RSPB Middleton this morning. A couple of Sanderling showing on Jubilee wetlands when a smart Little Stint walked into view! Also Common Ringed Plover, Bittern and lots of Avocet chicks 👍 @westmidbirdclub.bsky.social @staffsbirdnews.bsky.social - worth getting a soaking for! ☺️👍🌧️

Hooded Merganser (fem) at Alvecote Pools, Warwickshire today. Fully-winged, wary and scoffing voraciously all day. It also doesn’t appear to carry any leg rings. #peakybirders #patchbirding #localpatch #ukbirding 🪶

A relatively quiet morning at Waxham, with the exception of a side-by-side view of the Glaucous and Iceland Gulls off Waxham Sands Campsite. A single White Wagtail was also of note on the campsite turf.

Hume’s warbler was found on Saturday 17th January. Over a month of visits I obtained many call recordings (which I compared to sonographs of Hume’s) video and a few decent pictures of it (this isn’t one of them) so that I could send it of to the BBRC. Lovely experience of a tricky warbler.

Shustoke Res - Little Tern? at the east end. Small, quiet, restless flickering flight style, constantly dipping to the water. The question mark is observer unfamiliarity with the species, but I don't know what else it can be.
