Three firsts for me this week, Brown Shrike, Crossbills and Arctic Skua, the later of which was thanks to birding pals @stuttonsparrows.bsky.social, @swallowbirding.bsky.social and @esbr-essex.bsky.social from a super trip to Norfolk. Also pics of Firecrest & Kingfisher to round things out. #birding

I do like a grey wag. Nice shots Simon

Super shots Mike 👍🏻

Great shots Sam. That Phal shot in particular is ace

Nice! I hope it stays around for a bit

Hummingbird Hawk Moth from the garden this morning. #essex #Sphingidae

That Little Stint - great mate. Oh and the arctic, nice…of course

After a few distant views, the Black Terns at Abberton finally done the decent thing this morning. #essexbirding

Nice

Swallows in abundance at Abberton this week. In fact lots of things to see including Little Gulls and Little Stints - both too camera shy for me though! #essexbirding

Quick stop off to Abberton and Mersea this morning. Lovely sunrise 🌅 and then Greenshank, Ruff and Spot Fly were on offer. #essexbirding

Fabulous Andy!

Thank you 🙏🏻

First Pied Flycatcher for me for this year on Mersea. Cracker. #essexbirding

Crossed the strood for a visit to Mersea Island in Essex this morning. Lots about including Willow Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat and Sparrowhawk. #essexbirding #birding

Cheers Paul 👍🏻

Cheers Simon, and thanks for putting the word out👍🏻

This mornings Wood Sandpiper at Abberton was a great find by @simonpatient1.bsky.social. A seemingly rather hungry Yellow Wagtail popped up too. #essexbirding #birding

These were from Westlands Country Park in Colchester. You’re right about getting your eye in, once you have you’ll spot them

Always look forward to seeing Wasp Spiders. There has been a few on my local patch this year. #nature #spider

Mandarin Duck from Abberton this week. What a smart bird #essexbirding #birding

Nice

Had a morning in the Brecks, and while I saw many things with wings, not all were birds. Nice to find a Turtle Dove though! #birding
