Birder, Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Ah, I wondered who birded here, cool home patch - and had previously wondered where your home patch listing was based. Thank you for sharing.

Some poor pictures from my visit to Mildenhall today.

Thank you Kirsty. Gargano in April 2026 which I think you’ve done, maybe?

Quite incredible how terrible a shambles it’s been.

Very grateful we have water at all however, lots around the world haven’t.

He might not have a lotta bottle.

We’ve got lots though - another 24 litres delivered shortly today just before being advised tap water was safe to drink again 😲💦🫣🤷🏻‍♂️ #TunbridgeWells

I presume I walked past you, or you followed me round this morning!

I’ve just seen the photo of the North Uist swallow.

Surely not the same bird but the broken tail-streamer makes me wonder!

I really wish I’d got the camera out as the red throat was so obvious in crappy conditions.

I briefly thought ‘yank’ & binned it off thinking they had buffer underparts 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not guilty this time but I guess it’s just one of those grey November days.

I see mist but doubt I’d even see sea even without the ‘sea mist’ here in Tunbridge Wells, if you see what I mean 😢

Less of the young please!

Oh, I keep searching Tunbridge Wells for another yank warbler. I’m not giving up so when you release it please show it a map and tell it where to head off to…

… peak time for them round here now.
