A decent number of swallows and house martins feeding up before their long journey south at WWT Steart this morning.

@wwtworldwide.bsky.social @somersetbirds.bsky.social #wwtsteart. Passage wheatear female stocking up at Otterhampton marsh.

Thanks Roger, no wonder I could see differences.

@rogermusgrove.bsky.social @hurlstone.bsky.social @creechsm.bsky.social . Found in my garden this morning, Can either of you confirm the ID please. I can see slight differences with the Brown Argos...

Whiskered Tern at Durleigh reservoir. Improved light = better shots of the popular rare visitor.
Passing Osprey had a short stay while shooting the tern.

Very distant record shots taken in hazy conditions

My brief view was just in time to catch the lit moon before the earth's shadow covered it.

Awoke early and had to check to see the rare moment in time. Taken at 06.10am 12/03/2025 #moon

Thanks Roger, I thought they might bee, 😁😉

@rogermusgrove.bsky.social @creechsm.bsky.social The best day so far in 2025 and the bees are out enjoying some winter nectar from my Mahonia hedgerow. Bee ID help would be appreciated please!

@rogermusgrove.bsky.social @creechsm.bsky.social @hurlstone.bsky.social #steart Bumped into this super barn owl as it was about to catch his evening meal. It caught and ate this ST vole within a couple of minutes.
What better way could there be to open my #bluesky account.
