Common crossbills

Common crossbills

Most things overshadowed by the penduline tit found yesterday, but there was a trickle of #vismig yesterday from aust. Frustrating was a probable Richard’s pipit that went over calling NE but I couldn’t get on the bird. Few groups of crossbills were nice! #ukbirding

Penduline tit

Having dipped the Severnside patch penduline by literal minutes yesterday I was delighted to see it was still there this morning! Patch mega! #ukbirding #patchbirding

Firecrest

Black redstart

Odd couple of days on Severnside - 2 black reds around along with a very late 1w common redstart, a firecrest today plus a little stint, and a whinchat seen yesterday! @severnsidebirds.bsky.social #ukbirding

Bearded Tit, pilning wetland

Goosander

Dark bellied Brent

Common redstart

Few bits and pieces of interest on the Severnside patch the last few days - best was a male bearded bit briefly at the wetland this morning along with an odd goosander, also in the last few days a db Brent and a late common redstart (still present today) at Severn beach #ukbirding

Mourning Dove

Eurasian Hoopoe

American (buff-bellied) Pipit

Spotted Sandpiper

Decent (!) day 1 on Scilly with a clean up job on Agnes - mourning dove present and correct, plus absurdly showy hoopoe, American pipit, spot sand and lap bunt. Not a bad start with @matthall95.bsky.social @oscardewhurst.bsky.social #ukbirding

Missed a patch ybw yesterday but there has been a little wader turnover on pilning wetland the last few days, 2 smart juv little stints this morning were new along with 8 juv curlew sands #ukbirding

A brief patch foray today with @matthall95.bsky.social and @oscardewhurst.bsky.social produced a few birds - glossy ibis still around briefly, 2+ curlew sand, 2 golden plover, grey plover, 2 wheatear, vismigging crossbills and increasing numbers of wildfowl. Missed the spotshank #ukbirding

Another big kittiwake day on the Severn today - 1300+ NE over the whole day with intermittent coverage, I had 830+ this afternoon, plus 58 db brents sat on the river at Severn beach and my first 2 grey plover of the spring #ukbirding @severnsidebirds.bsky.social

One swallow and 3 sand martin through Severnside airspace this morning. 5 LRP, 2 Jack snipe present on butts but not really viewable from sea wall #ukbirding

Absolutely. Fucking. Loved. Reading. This. 😍

My 5 year old made this a few months ago telling me we were going to win a trophy this season. Yesterday he got to go to school proud as punch with his toon top under his uniform and his teacher just let him wear it all day. Thank you Eddie and the lads, words can’t express what Sunday meant #NUFC

2 hawfinches over 0850 and landed in a tree briefly on great brockeridge just off falcondale road before flying off towards the downs!!! Not hallucinating after yesterday’s shenanigans i promise! 🖤🤍🖤🤍 @bristolbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Absolutely wild day. Well deserved and cannot believe it. Hasn’t sunk in. Emotions all over the place!

Difficult to see how this afternoon could have gone any worse tbh #NUFC

Absolutely brain dead stuff from Gordon. Peak nufc. Pope last time, Gordon this time. We are not allowed nice things…#NUFC

That isak pen is comedy on a rewatch. Sels chipped on his line 😂 The sels we used to know and think was shite 😂 #NUFC

Textbook stuff. Fan base giving Jacob pelters and then he promptly thighs one in 😂 #NUFC

YOUR CARABAO CUP FINALISTS 😍

All just fell into place. What a performance. I need to make sure I stay humble 😂

Is this what haaland meant when he said stay humble…😂 🎣 #NUFC

Least sandpiper still at steart from quantock hide. Taken me a while to find some time to go see it, glad it stuck around this long! @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding
