@DaveMo57 @merseabirder Looks like a typo in the link above? Should be https://t.co/QNaLtOosZF (blogspot, rather than blogpost)

@greateranglia Thanks for coming back to me. I checked again yesterday evening and everything was back to normal.

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@greateranglia why are there no advance single tickets available from Colchester to/from London Liv St on Fri 19/6 or next week? Is this a bug, or a change? Looking to travel around typical 9-5 commuter hours, can only see day return at £70.30. Usually c £45-50 with 2 singles.

@BakerBoySOG @EBwSTweets Thanks for sharing, Paul - am already in contact with the EBR team about this, hoping the app will make their lives easier (eg to extract Metropolitan Essex records from eBird London data).

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

A very rare post for me here, for UK County Recorders interested in cleaning and extracting data from eBird. I've recently updated and rehosted the app from a couple years ago, and it now maps records to Watsonian boundaries. You can now find it here: https://t.co/P3ePfF4Dug

@GJecology @paul33606 You timed it well! The last few weeks have pulled in a pretty decent selection of birds, and then the weather today was good for viewing. Almost warm in the sunshine at times... which is a rarity for Abberton in itself!

Beckton Sewage Works a.m: Pairs of Common Buzzards and Sparrowhawk, Black Redstart, Common Sandpiper, 30+ Chiffchaff, Wigeon(rare here), 2 Rock Pipit and rather bizarrely a wintering Common Whitethroat. #londonbirds @EssexBirdNews

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@BakerBoySOG So sorry to hear the news, Paul. Have donated and will be thinking of you all.

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@JLowenWildlife @beardybirder @iPterodroma I'm very glad you did - absolutely superb bird!

@porthkillier @LondonBirdClub That's really sad to hear - Sean was always great company and an excellent, knowledgeable birder. Gone too soon.

@suffolkbirder @harris_sjh Is that a pair of Swarrwoofskis he's got there there? #illGetMyCoat

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@birdphotos007 @EssexBirdNews What's the argument for it _not_ being the same returning bird from last winter, and the Netherlands since then ? This feels like the most likely scenario.

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@Luscinia61 I was pretty surprised when 4 PBBrents went underneath us at PG yesterday morning too! Feels incredibly early for them to be back, but gather some have returned to Anglesey as well.

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@MJ_McKee @MwallacepgP Brilliant!! Well done for the lengthy video recording. So pleased both groups got it, recorded it, identified it independently - perfect. Gutted I missed the dancing and waving afterwards though! 😉

Hey #raptor #birdmigration fanatics! Over the past months I've added to eBird what's now almost 3,500 photos of raptors in flight from 4 years at @BatumiRaptors — Most photos are aged/sexed, so you can filter down to specific plumages (and more). Enjoy!

@YellowShriker @EssexBirdNews @EssexWildlife @BTO_EssexNE Very nice! I had no idea that little patch of habitat existed, either - another spot to check out.

[David Bradnum @dbradnum]

@lizardschwartz @DarylRhymes It's not going anywhere in a hurry this time, Amy - has basically no primaries at the moment!
