Eastern Black Restart

Eastern Black Redstart

Black-winged Kite

Bewick's Swan

Big day out in Norfolk on Monday: Started with the showy Eastern Black Redstart✅at a gloomy Sheringham, then onto Stubb Mill for Black-winged Kite✅showed well but distant over the marshes and finally to Ludham Airfield for a nice mixed herd of 19 Bewicks and 21 Whooper Swans.

A good Warwickshire birding day last week to start the year off: Showy Y-B Warbler and Siberian Chiff (intergrade) at Hurley.
An unshowy Firecrest at Brandon Marsh.
Finished off at Draycote with a 9 gull species roost, highlighted by an Adult Iceland and Adult Glaucous gull.
