@johnbuchanan.bsky.socialThe influx of Quail has continued strongly over the last month. The latest weekly reporting rate of 2% is the highest recorded since BirdTrack began in 2004! #ukbirding
Show PostAtrocious weather for penultimate work party at Ironworks Meadow, Heybridge this morning with rain and sleet and a cold SE. 13 tough souls carried on regardless and removed scrub from reedbed, nest box maintenance, bramble removal and litter picking. A Kingfisher was heard.
Show PostI've been trying to get this old Knot with faded flag read all season- finally brought it to book in the last of the light this eve as it pottered about in the godwit roost behind the Co-op. Turns out it is my old mucker LUP ringed as a 3CY+ in 2009. So now in at least its 20th year. #ornithology

Show Post3/ 25th & 26th Jan. Neither day really got light and the SE breeze was bitter. Titchwell on 25th produced Firecrest, Scaup, Barney Geese and Scarlet Elfcap whilst a wander around Holme Dunes on 26th produced a lone Little Gull and a Red-necked Grebe, although the camera struggled in the half light.
