Buttermere full of birds yesterday, including tonnes of Pied Flycatchers checking out nest sites and Dippers along the streams. Also Hawfinch, Redstarts, Osprey, and Wood Warbler. #UKBirding #CumbriaBirding ##LakeDistrict

Todd's Canada Goose with Svalbard Barnacle Geese on a shimmering Solway merse. Typically skinny-necked and dingy-breasted

Another day, another Todd's Canada. Fortunately amongst one of the closer flocks of shimmering Solway Barnies, NE of Esk Boathouse just now #cumbriabirding #alwaysgoosing

Beautiful dawn visit to my local patch, Park End Moss NT, no Chiffchaff, but plenty to look at. 2 Cettis wbr, loads of Grey heron eating the frogs, and 4 flocks of Pinks high north. #cumbriabirding #cumbriabirds

Great morning on Park End Moss with a male Hen Harrier swooping through on the blustery NE wind, GWE, Kingfisher, 6 spring Curlew N and 2 Redshank (boring, but first ones I've had on the pool). #Cumbriabirding #ukbirding
