A Black Redstart more than made up for an otherwise very quiet afternoon patch walk. #Patchworkchallenge#UKbirding

So many flooded fields for the Pintail to choose from at the moment, so why not visit Cholsey for a change. #PWC2025 #UKBirding

I feared these little lovelies may have moved off patch after so much disturbance over the last week of cutting the willows right back, clearing the ditches, heavy machinery, bonfires etc. How happy was I this morning to see this.

A quick visit to Henley Road GPs to have a look at the magnificent male Smew that Ben Sheldon found yesterday along with the redhead. Although distant, and hidden for most of my time they were an absolute pleasure to see.

Late afternoon walk with my dog Bella with light disappearing fast, (3.30) so very pleased to stumble across a Sanderling on my patch.
A first for Cholsey.
Grey Plover seems to have moved just outside of my patch now at South Morton floods,providing its the same bird of course.
