I think I’ve just had a Temminck’s over Netherton hill/Hampton st 00.35
Just the one call. A bit Swift like but got that wader twang 🤷‍♂️ listening to the noc flight calls on xeno sounds good @andyshawbirds1 @craig_round

@andyshawbirds1 @craig_round Redstart on Netherton hill

[Todd chater @ChaterTodd]

@andyshawbirds1 @WestMidBirdClub @pmandrews1973 The Sibe that I picked up on the 6th appears to still be around. Saw the bird in the opposite corner where it immediately stood out. Again silent but same jiz like it’s not used to people.
Where it had started its winter moult around its face 3 weeks ago it’s now moulting breast

@groughgruff I’m in my winter plumage. Must have a shave the weekend 😆

[Todd chater @ChaterTodd]

Rouzels showing well all afternoon to 16.45. Nice to meet Sparrow Hawk et al from Oxford way and get them on the birds which were a bit skitty at one point with birders circling the paddocks. But patience paid off at a distance

[Todd chater @ChaterTodd]

@groughgruff That’s right. I knew your face but couldn’t place it

[Todd chater @ChaterTodd]

@groughgruff Yes same two birds. Think you put me on the yesterday when I arrived. They certainly looked scruffier yesterday. Wind might have played a part.
