Turned 23 yesterday and spent a lovely day birding and eating nice food 🎉

What a crazy year it’s been! All finished with uni, went full-time at @harbourbirds.bsky.social, and moved down to Dorset permanently🏡

Hence the silence on here!

Great few hours birding at Normandy Marsh, Hampshire last week.

Stunning views of Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint. Also Eider, Whimbrel, Bar-tailed Godwit, and great to see so many Avocet chicks! 🤩
