2x Red Admirals and several Green-veined Whites out at RSPB Worth Marshes this morning. #KentNature @savebutterflies.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social #UKButterflies @kentfieldclub.bsky.social

2x Spotted Redshanks at RSPB Worth Marshes this morning. One in full regalia (not that you can tell from these images - which look like Monet's impressionism!). #KentBirding @rspb.bsky.social @kentishplover.bsky.social

Female Northern Wheatear at Brands Hatch this afternoon - south of Druids Bend, near Southbank. Beware of one-way traffic moving 'quite fast' if you go looking for it in the morning... @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding @brandshatch.bsky.social

Nice selection in Ashdown Forest this morning, including: Redstart, Cuckoo, Tree Pipit, Crossbill, Woodlark, Goshawk, Stonechat, etc. @sussexornitholo.bsky.social #SussexBirding

4 of 6 Wheatear found in East Malling this morning (M Puxley), and still present this evening - possibly the biggest single herd for the patch. @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding #PWC2026

A fun day with 12+ Yellow Wags (Scotney Pit) and 2x Ring Ousels (West Kent) - all good stuff! #KentBirding @kentishplover.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

Patch Gold, if perhaps not patch mega, with Whitethroat (m) and not one, not three, but two Stonechats (m&f) at East Malling this lunchtime - proper adrenaline stuff for this site! #KentBirding @kentishplover.bsky.social

Rhyzobius forestieri - my first micro-ladybird. Found at East Malling today by @sejarnold.bsky.social @kentfieldclub.bsky.social @ukladybirds.bsky.social #KentNature

A few migrants in the @dungenessbirdobs.bsky.social area today with Sedge Warblers showing a little better than the Swallow and Sandwich Tern. A few Common Scoter passing through. @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding

The Marsh Frogs at Dungeness have realised Spring has arrived - just... As soon as the sun appears so did these vocal #amphibians #KentNature

Osprey and Wheatear at (or from!) Motney Hill this evening - fun watching the Osprey attempt a few dives before catching tea (fish again!). @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding

Pair of Roe Deer at East Malling yesterday evening. #KentNature

Short-eared Owl on the Isle of Sheppey this evening - its fair to say we surprised each other! A Merlin five minutes later was a little too fast for me... @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding

Still good numbers of Brambling (8+) and Fieldfare (100+) at East Malling this lunchtime - they'll doubtless all be off soon! #KentBirding @kentishplover.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #BirdMigration

2x Wheatear (M&F) at Dungeness this morning (near the lifeboat station). @dungenessbirdobs.bsky.social @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding @andyappleton.bsky.social

Raven cronking overhead at Bough Beech, this morning - impressive beasts! #KentBirding @kentishplover.bsky.social #ukbirding @btobirds.bsky.social

Still several Brambling in the orchards at East Malling at lunchtime, inc some approaching full breeding plumage. #KentBirding

Red-necked Grebe at dusk off Tankerton. Distant...one of the first times birding that I've had to worry about issues with the curvature of planet Earth (pic taken from up the shingle bank). @kentishplover.bsky.social #KentBirding @rarebirder.bsky.social

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A fabulous photo Rachel of a very smart bird!

2w Iceland Gull at Worth Marshes this afternoon. Record shot as bird at a considerable distance..in poor light..in windy conditions..and any other excuses I can muster. @kentishplover.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #kentbirding #sbbot

I have no problems with the original shout - a striking bird. It was the second non GBHG i've set out for...seem to remember the first was a LBBG.

Last minute decision to go to Suffolk today... Got as far as Minsmere before news further north diverted us to the RSPB reserve. Siskin, a black Adder, lots of Marsh Harriers and a Little Stint were the highlights. Can't win 'em all. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #ukbirding

#GullsoftheWP

Well done Frank - a fabulous find!

Spring is springing! My first proper summer migrants...in the form of 4+ Sand Martin and 2 LRP at Sevenoaks KWT this evening in the fading light. @kentishplover.bsky.social @kentwildlife.bsky.social #KentBirding

A little extra Crossbill action this morning - always high in the trees, but the super smart male did his bit to impress. @kentishplover.bsky.social #kentbirding @btobirds.bsky.social

#KentNature

4-6+ Harbour Porpoise off Dunge this afternoon in very calm condition - always nice to see. @kentfieldclub.bsky.social @dungenessbirdobs.bsky.social @marinemammalogy.bsky.social @mammalsociety.bsky.social

My thoughts entirely…! Was just about to say the same.
