Lifer Alert and only 20 mins from home! Leach's Storm-Petrel at Slaynes Lane this morning. Amazing to watch it in flight (harassed by the Black-headed Gulls) and see the size comparison. Safe travels LSP #nottsbirding #ukbirding

A lifer for #SuperSeabirdSunday!
A Leach's Storm-Petrel was found at Idle Washlands, Nottinghamshire today.
Very windy making sea like conditions with the waves on the lake. The Leach's seemed right at home.

Incredible! Leach’s Petrel - a bird that lives in the open ocean for most of the year, feeding beyond the edge of the continental shelf of Europe - 40+ miles inland at Misson, Notts this morning. Wow, wow, wow. A knock-out bird. #lifer #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026 #birds #nottsbirding

A pair of Red-crested Pochards were nice to see at Kilvington, we don't get them locally very often. Good increase in wildfowl plus 10 Whoopers and 2 GWEgrets flying. Felt 'birdy' today. #nottsbirding #ukbirding

Not counting the 3 or 4 Quail I heard today - but obviously didn’t see - this Caspian Gull was bird #224 of the year. #birds #gulls #nottsbirding

Saw 2 Wood Sandpipers this evening, along with my first Cuckoo of the year, at Langford Lowfields. The Whimbrel disappeared, as normal when I turn up.. also the missed Channel Wag. #nottsbirding #birds #woodsandpiper

Dipped on a Garganey pair yesterday at Kenfig NNR after a helicopter flushed them into the reedbed, so it was nice to get this drake a lot closer to home this evening. Also added Common Sandpiper to the year and saw 20+ Yellow Wags! #birds #garganey #nottsbirding

It’s been a couple of years since I’ve come across one locally, so a Channel Wagtail amongst 11+ Yellow Wags and 15+ White Wags was the highlight of a visit to Langford Lowfields this morning. Also a Whimbrel thru N, 2 Dunlin, 1 Common Sand, 1 Greenshank #ukbirding #birds #nottsbirding

Absolutely love a Yellowhammer. My Grandad - who got me into birding when I was a boy - used to do an impression of their song, which I will never forget. Red-listed and in decline. #birds #yellowhammer #nottsbirding
