It didn’t look like that when we saw it! 🌚

... sorry, just seen Brett's reply but for future birds, the short pencil line in the supercilium above the eye is almost diagnostic... rarely seen in Yell

Hi Andy, that is a Cirl Bunting...

I hope you think it was time well invested Gav and thank you for sorting that Greenland Repoll out... we completely fluffed it. 👍

Great stuff...

Looks just like the sketch in my notebook!

That's good, I was worried the 'fags' might have got him... please pass on my regards when you see him next..

I seem to remember we travelled up with Dick Reader... is he still with us?

Seen this Dave... @westcoastbirds.bsky.social

It wouldn't surprise me... you're on a roll over there.

Well in those days we were both working and we had to wait until the weekend... I think we travelled up on the Saturday and the bird showed rather well!!

Not everywhere... the Swannery birds seem to stay local or fly east... we see very few and have none so far this year!

Hi Mark, bird on the left is the CR Baltic Gull I had at West Bexington two years ago. Bird on the right I saw here this spring. If anything with tiny white tips to primaries and small mirror on P10 it looks a better bird.. just no ring!

Ours was late morning Martin, just after 11.00am but still there when we left 30 minutes later.

Team Saga score again... 👍💪

Whooper Swans 🙄
