Nice! Easily aged as a 1st winter female from pics.

Rescued the odd Great-crested Grebe when I worked at Radipole that landed on the car park after heavy rain. No doubt they thought it was a lake and got stuck. Ringed one of them and saw it for quite a long time afterwards hanging around on the lake.

White-throated Sparrow record from 2009 wasn't that far away from Calshot really and also there was the Spanish Sparrow, also in Calshot in 2012. Both accepted I'm assuming.

Hope you pick up a few UK ringed Chiffs considering the numbers ringed this autumn!

Take Swifts. Their numbers have plummeted by 68% in just 28 years.

We're proud to stand with @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social in calling for Swift bricks. Nesting spaces built into new homes would give these remarkable birds a future.

Amendment 245: simple fix, huge impact. Surely a no-brainer?

Bit of interest elsewhere on the farm though with a flyover Great White Egret (!) and more expected was a Black Redstart around some of the farm buildings. Couple of Teal on one of the small was also noteworthy.
