White-tailed Eagle wasn’t on the menu today but one heading South high over Riverside with a caravan of 3 ‘tiny’ Buzzards was a bit of a shock. Presumably one of the south coast birds? Looked like a 4/5CY #patchgold #birdsseenin2026 #surreybirds
A very wet visit today to Nutfield Marsh, but still managed to get a thirty four bird species count. Highlight would have to be my first Bullfinch of the year. @surreybirdnews.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #surreybirds
First 2 singing Chiffchaffs of the year today. Spring is springing, at last. #surreybirds
Record shots from Staines Reservoirs this morning. Lesser Scaup, Greater Scaup, Black-necked Grebe and Great Northern Diver. #birds #ukbirding #londonbirds #surreybirds
View at Newlands Corner in the Surrey Hills.
First @btobirds.bsky.social WiBS on my local transect in the Surrey Hills. Beautiful morning, lots of birds including Crossbill, Bullfinch, Firecrest, Siskin, Treecreeper & Marsh Tit. #surreybirds
I'm lucky to have had a pair of Firecrests in my Surrey garden this year, possibly even breeding. But this little beauty flew into a window & was stunned for about 10 minutes, before thankfully flying off to its mate (singing in background). What a stunner! #firecrest #gardenbirds #surreybirds #bgbw

Definitely an increasingly common bird in the Newlands Corner area of Surrey. Saw 2 flying Ravens then this one perched close to St Martha’s Church this morning. 10s of House Martins darting about above it. Lovely to see. #surreybirds #surreyhills #ravens

Popped into Thursley Common on my way home from work. Very quite birdwise, 1 Dartford Warbler & 3 Stonechats were about as good as it got #surreybirds. Several sp. of Odonata about including Black Darter, Small Red Damselfly & Keeled Skimmer, despite being overcast @britishdragonflies.bsky.social

Fabulous time yesterday guiding at Thursley Common, Surrey. Birding highlights included DARTFORD WARBLERS, TREE PIPITS, CROSSBILL, REDSTARTS, WOODLARKS, WILLOW WARBLERS and lots more. #surreybirds #birds #BirdsSeenIn2025 #wildlife
A good evenings jarring on Chobham Common (Surrey) with 5+ Nightjars either seen or heard #SurreyBirds #SurreyBirding #ukbirds #ukbirding
Late @btobirds.bsky.social BBS completed this morning at Albury Downs. Another bumper crop of birds - all heard & seen by me as well as Merlin! Who on Earth would want to ruin this wonderful habitat? #surreybirds
Wet dog walk this morning, but came across a new family of noisy Treecreepers. Babies demanding food and one gets a tasty mouthful. Lovely to see! #surreybirds #treecreepers #springwatch
Not often I see a Peregrine Falcon on my evening dog walk but just had one zooming about just above Guildford Golf clubhouse. Likely to be one of the Woking Peregrine adults hunting as it's only a short flight from there. Exciting anyway! #peregrines #surreybirds #wokingperegrines

Heard my first Cuckoo on Wednesday at Clandon Downs, but was lucky enough to see this one at Whitmoor Common this morning. #ukbirding #surreybirds
