#patchbirding

Best morning on the patch I’ve ever had. I was really pleased to find 3 Red-crested Pochard which was a first for the site when that was eclipsed by a Great Grey Shrike! The bird only hung around for about 5 seconds but what a buzz. #PatchBirding #WiltsBirds

A nice surprise of patch today, a Russian White-fronted Goose. I've only seen this sub-species of White-front twice before and they're quite a scarce bird in Argyll so I'm very happy to have found this individual. #BirdingScotland #PatchBirding @patchbirding.bsky.social

A pair of Snow Buntings appeared in Walker Park at Girdle Ness today, finding stone and pavement to their liking. A bird that's less frequent here these days, and always a delight to see. #Birds #BirdingScotland #PatchBirding #UKWildlife

Late afternoon til dusk #patchbirding Multiple Cetti’s and water rail calling Highlights .. short eared and barn owl , peregrine, woodcock .

The male grey partridge was performing well again at the base of Tynemouth Pier this morning - it's been here for over six weeks now! #nebirding #patchbirding

Some nice birds the last few days headlined by a Richard's Pipit this morning. Just a shame it didn't stick around for others to see. A Merlin and a Black Redstart were other new additions to the patch year list! #patchbirding #birdingWales

First #patchbirding walk of November, today after work. Only has enough daylight for the Hothfield Flood Gap. c30 Fieldfares in to roost, my first anywhere this autumn, + 2 Little Egrets, Bullfinch & 3 Yellowhammers. Across rural Godinton Park, 3 Siskins with the Goldfinches & a few Redwings over.

Corvids featuring again in this week's birding in the city. You studiously count the birds on your patch - then a Buzzard flies over. 2 crows & 2 Magpies became a noisy 15 crows & 6 Magpies until the Buzzard left the scene. Patch record 53 Magpie - previously <15! #patchbirding #Leeds #BirdTrack

Two Redpoll at Wotter Pit (first patch birds of autumn) best this morning. Just 5 Wigeon at P'worthy. No other interesting wildfowl in the lower pits #patchbirding #birding #ukbirding

My first Great White Egret for the park at Weald CP today. Flew over, looked like it might stop but carried on to the north. Other highlights: Kingfisher, Siskin, Little Grebe, Raven and at least 25 Linnet feeding in a Crow Green field. #essexbirding #patchbirding
