@KCowieson @TheSeabirdGroup @JNCC_UKseabirds @RAFOSBirding @ConnieTremlett @BTO_Scotland @KittiwakeGirl Previous @RAFOSBirding exped to Orkney suggested that Tern colonies had relocated to offshore islands perhaps because of the increase in geese numbers on and around traditional breeding sites. Many geese about?

@GillBbirding RAFOS @RAFOSBirding did a Seabird Census exped there in 2018 which was great fun. The team are off to Shetland on Sunday to again do seabird monitoring and provide data for studies into HPAI.

@mothID help needed! Last night in Buckinghamshire but ID uncertain any help gratefully received.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@NickMarriner1 @LukeMarriner17 @Norfolkbirding It's a great location. I go with @RAFOSBirding and as well as routine birding we do some WeBS for @WeBS_UK surveys, record birds for flight safety around the airfield and various tasks on the Oa for the RSPB.

@KCowieson @GrahamFAppleton @WeBS_UK It's about two and a half hours from our casa but on my list of places to visit once we're settled 😎

@JohnNWells1 @CambsBirdClub @Jon_Heath_ @RAFOSBirding @rachel_lennard @KCowieson I was up at 0530 too Wellsy. Battery in smoke alarm had faded so alarm beeping every 15 seconds. Removed offending item and went back to bed! Look forward to hearing your total for the @RAFOSBirding NYD race.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@KCowieson @SteelySeabirder Or maybe us .....

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@JohnNWells1 @WeBS_UK @RAFOSBirding Our @RAFOSBirding approach is therefore hybrid with daily recording on paper backed up with internet input after the event.

@MOTHIDUK is this an Oak Processionary? Came to my actinic trap in North Bucks last night but Waring et al suggests it's rare here.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MOTHIDUK Not surprising that I didn't get that! Many thanks.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MOTHIDUK help please! this one is still eluding me - caught early June in North Bucks.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@JohnNWells1 @RAFOSBirding @KCowieson @ochillman @gannetrocks @DEBALMER Nothing to stop you organising one Wellsy!

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MOTHIDUK Many thanks I was very confused by the Rustics!

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

As usual after a night's mothing there are a few I can't get my tiny brain around any clues @MOTHIDUK or others in the mothing fraternity?

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MOTHIDUK Many thanks

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

Help .... @MOTHIDUK these 3 continue to evade my attempts to ID them - trapped in VC24 some 10 days ago - any help gratefully received by this novice 🧑‍🎓.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@lee00barber @_BTO @KneppWilding @josiethebirder @SussexEmerald Great instruction and a fabulous location. Many thanks to all the team go giving up their own time to tutor us - One of the many Whitethroat nests.

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MothIDUK Thanks

[Martin Routledge @RoutledgeMJ]

@MothIDUK three from last night in Bucks that are still giving me trouble - any help gratefully received.
