Hmmmm….. 🤬🤬

First post on Bluesky so just checking the quality of some images that I took at Slimbridge last week! #birds #slimbridge #rook #bewickswan #mallard #siskin #wildlife #photography

Hi Claire. This is a Mediterranean Gull 👍🏻

Also have a look at the bare features around the great Cormorant’s face. Pygmy will be all black as in yours.

Yes, definitely. Compare the bills with great cormorant and you’ll see that this one is much shorter. Pity you didn’t photograph it alongside another bird as you’d have seen the size difference too. Hope it’s a new bird for you! 🤞

Hi! This is a Pygmy Cormorant! 👍🏻

Is it because of avian flu? They must know there are sick birds and abandon the area because of it?

Looks like a Dunlin Calidris alpina

I’ve found the woodcock but no idea where the snipe is! 🤣

Represents 42nd species for the year and 88th species for the garden! Nice little tick that I’ve been after for a while. Didn’t expect it today.

Won’t win any images with this pic but Woodcock over the Sedgley garden this afternoon at 15:50 heading east towards Turls Hill Woodland. Nice garden tick!
