Nice to find this Garganey pair this morning whilst looking for the Slav Grebe #SwillingtonIngs

Piezodorus lituratus

The first new insect of the year for @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I at the weekend.

Several Gorse Shieldbugs out and about in the warmth on the errr... gorse at @rspb.bsky.social St. Aidan's.

Slavonian Grebe still present in main channel of western reedbed #SwillingtonIngs

Circus cyaneus

Didn’t expect to find a Hen Harrier when I suggested a few steps around @rspb.bsky.social St Aidan’s to Sarah yesterday afternoon!

A quality year tick too.
