A good fall of Spotted Flycatcher on the Great Orme this morning with at least 12 birds on the headland. A Cuckoo was a good record on the patch while a Tree Pipit, Sedge Warbler and 2 Wheatears were also on the move. Several Brown Argus and Grayling on the wing too. #ukbirding #birdingwales
Wood Warbler are beautiful summer migrants and seem to be holding their own in the Conwy Valley. @penrhynbirder.bsky.social has been surveying the population over the past few years and finding some fascinating trends, while @birdsandbikes.bsky.social ringing dedication is impressive #birdingwales
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! ☺️👍🌧️

What a bird! A successful work break twitch for this stunning Spotted Sandpiper with @owenparsons.bsky.social at Earlswood Lakes, Warwickshire. Sanderling, Wigeon and several Common Tern too. Good to meet some friendly local birders ☺️👍 @westmidbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding #warksbirding
A great day with @owenparsons.bsky.social , starting with a Wood Warbler survey in the Conwy Valley. Good views had of this iconic species along with Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts, Cuckoos and Tawny Owl. Then taking part in the Pensychnant Biodoversity Quiz day. Great fun and learning! #birdingwales
It might be raining but this nice Caspian Tern at Blithfield Reservoir makes it all worthwhile! Still present in Blithe Bay at 11am b m#ukbirding #rarebirdsuk @westmidbirdclub.bsky.social @staffsbirdnews.bsky.social
