Yes, found one there on Saturday so all good.

I’ve been foraging for a local Rock Pipit of late Uncle John, so not had the pleasure. Looks a cracker though…..you had some decent views.

Some of the best images I’ve seen of it, Mark.

You’ve done this before haven’t you! Super shots Mark.

Rainy day paint project- here's three bandits doing a backlit autumnal thing earlier in the week. #Birdart

Superb as usual Ed. Love the lighting.

The Lesser Yellowlegs was still showing well in the gloomy conditions on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs this morning @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

First Knot in the PBC area this year (I think) was found by @weedonsworld.bsky.social this morning on East Pit, Deeping Lakes, Lincs. Didn’t seem to hang around long, as no further sign by 9.20am @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social @justwildimages.bsky.social

Likewise Mark. Looking forward to seeing some of your images from the day.

Superb images Mike.

Thanks for putting the news out so promptly Mark. As you say, they’ve been sparse to date, so that was most welcome!

The beautiful Lesser Yellowlegs from North America, in north Cambridgeshire this week. See justwildimages.blogspot.com

Well the Lesser Yellowlegs relocated this afternoon, to the nearby Silt Pit, Etton, Cambs, where it showed a bit well… @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

That’s interesting Mark, as I’d presumed the same. Which photo of the Isleham bird are you using to compare? - I must admit I only recall seeing some footage from Simon Gillings which was difficult to use as a comparison.

Local birding royalty Hugh Wright, came up with the goods again, finding this Lesser Yellowlegs on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs. Still present this morning. @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

Another bit of footage of the superb Wood Sandpiper at Bainton Pits, Cambs this afternoon @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

No Redstarts or Whinchats, but a very confiding Lesser Whitethroat at Milton airfield, Cambs this morning. @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

The Wood Sandpiper was still showing ridiculously well at one of the Bainton Pits, Cambs early afternoon. @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social

The face has it all. Super sketch Thomas.

This Black-necked grebe, found by local birder John Rimes, was fairly obliging this afternoon on the main lake at Deeping Lakes LNR, Lincs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirds

Now that the tip at Tanholt is no longer processing waste, these juv Yellow-legged gulls will be prized year ticks in the PBC area. This one was found by @jrmjones.bsky.social on Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs on the 17/07 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds

Rather unexpectedly, this Tawny Owl started hooting in broad daylight last weekend! A magical moment to witness. 🦉✨ More on the blog: justwildimages.blogspot.com

Fantastic image, Will.

Cheers Paul. I was always a big R Millington admirer with his scraper board masterpieces!

Thanks very much Phil.

Thanks Elaine.

My take on the Collared Pratincole, RSPB Frampton. Difficult conditions as the bird on both days I went, was always fairly distant & hunkered down due to the wind. So I put on paper, in biro, what I could see…. #ukbirds @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social

Super shots Dawn. Sounded like the hide was literally rocking from outside! Can’t believe it was Sept 2021 when we last spoke!

Another PBC year tick early this morning, after Hugh Wright found this Turnstone on Martin Pit, Etton, Cambs. Bird was reported as still present at 08:08hrs @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds
