Our drake Lesser Scaup was still waving to passers-by at The Mere #Ellesmere this evening before flying to the far SE end, and the heronry is starting to get noisy 🐣 #shropshirebirding #ukbirding

Cracking evening at Grindon Lough, getting superb scope views of this Black-necked Grebe in summer plumage, my first in the county for years. Credit to John Jackson for an excellent find of a top bird! @johnjackson87.bsky.social #NEBirding #UKBirding

Is it time to stop feeding the birds? Hello :)

Great piece by @katebradbury.bsky.social on the RSPB's shift towards an evidence-based policy on bird feeding; I look forward to reading the full report #UKBirding #Ornithology

Brilliant day local birding, I think I may have a new patch.
Flushed a pair of Grey Partridge, a Bittern nearly took my head off, flying so close from behind me I could hear its wings.
Masses of Blackcap, a few Whitethroats & Willow Warblers.
Ended on finding 2 Common Cranes in flight

Good to see Skylark plots in fields south of Chaddesley Woods, Worcs today. Not seen that for some time and not even sure if these are still subject to subsidies #ukbirding
