Beautiful start to the day - something about being somewhere before the silence is broken 😌 Lots singing at Titchfield Haven including 1+ Willow Warbler #PWC2026 #LowCarbonBirding
Stanford Reservoir - been checking this small area of ploughed field for the past 10 days in the hope of a spring Wheatear. Today was the day - scarcer in the spring in recent years so a useful addition to #PWC2026
Stanford Reservoir -
Much better today with White Wagtail, Common Sand and Osprey all new for 2026.
