Just been sent these from my grandson working in San Francisco. No experience of US birding but is this an Acorn Woodpecker?

Dusky Warbler still in the willows at Boscathnoe Reservoir but very elusive. #cornwallbirding

No sign of the Kumlien's I presume?

Little Gull still on the estuary from Lelant Saltings. Probably viewable from the causeway. #cornwallbirds

Little and Iceland Gull both on the estuary at Hayle from Lelanr Saltings. #cornwallbirding

After several failed attempts in the past we finally added Ross's Gull to our list. Gave great views on the roof of LIDL at Newlyn and in flight. Several quick walks between the harbour and LIDL paid off.

Hoping it stays until tomorrow.

Brimstone just flew through our Somerset garden. Spring is springing!

Decent views of the Spotted Redshank from VP1, Ham Wall. Kudos to the young birder from Birds of Poole Harbour who found it at the back in of the pool. Also: Redpoll, Treecreeper NFY. Large flock of Siskins, at least 8 Great Egrets (very active), Firecrest seen by others. #somersetbirds

Plenty of Bittern "throat clearing" at Shapwick this morning. We spent another happy hour (failing) to find the American Wigeon among the flock.
Nice yaffling Green Woodpecker and Egyptian Geese nfy. #somersetbirding

All fine her!

Lovely picture..

Loving the new "handle" and thumbnail....it's a very good likeness.
