A short wander around Lamplighters Marsh NR (Bristol) this morning. Several Common Darter dragonfly about, but too agile for photos today! Speckled Wood and Small White butterfly about too. Nice to see a Curlew on the edge of the Avon as the tide was falling. (06.10.25) #avonbirds #ukwildlife

A Buzzard, a large bird of prey (brown with white markings), stood in a field

A Buzzard in a field near Stoney Littleton, a short drive from Bath, hunting for earthworms. Yep, Buzzards love eating worms, they take far less effort than catching a rabbit.

A flock of 20 Glossy Ibis flew into Herriots Pool for a while for a wash and brush up before flying high and heading to Herons Bay. So uplifting to see and watch, amazing to see such a large flock of Ibis in the UK. #avonbirds

A few pictures of the lovely Leach’s Storm Petrel, at Cheddar reservoir y’day. Gale forced winds blew this bird inland.
