@Jamiewa50042387 @GlosterBirder Well done Jamie. You made a lot of birders very happy, including myself 😀 When I left there were about 40 people there but lots more on their way no doubt.

A polite reminder: birds are at their limits in the breeding season: building nests, defending territories, feeding young and also surviving.

I’m aware of people putting additional strain on some of our heathland birds and owls just for *that* special photo.

PLEASE DON’T!!

@djbevanphoto @bucksalert @bucksbirdclub Well done on re finding it David and for your excellent photo. A difficult bird to see let alone photograph!

[JimRose @JimRose]

A few birds from an enjoyable weekend at Spurn Point with @katjlee. Grey Phalarope, Spotted Flycatcher and Purple Sandpiper and Temminck's Stint. Good to see @djbevanphoto and John Bevan also.

@GaryWatton1 @bucksbirdnews @bucksbirdclub Hi Gary, great photos of the Red necked Phalarope. Is it OK if I use some of these on the Bucks Bird Club website. You will be credited. Thanks Jim

I witnessed a real tussle between this Cormorant and a large Eel yesterday on the Thames at Little Marlow. They spent most of the time struggling under water and occasionally surfaced for a second or two. I don't know how it ended but I guess it went on for some time!

@wilderchloee @HMWTBadger @SussexWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @Natures_Voice @Lucy_Lapwing Snap. Fantastic colours. 😊

The Marlow Film Studio planning application has appeared on Bucks planning portal with reference number 22/06443/FULEA.
Volunteers & hired experts are scanning through the 401(!) docs. We are also aware that there is an admin error so we are awaiting BC’s response.

@SeaninPinner @simonsbirds A fantastic place but years since I was there. I remember leaving fairly quickly as a thunderstorm rolled in but I did see the key birds first 😁

[JimRose @JimRose]

A lovely albeit distant sight of a pair of Common Cranes at Otmoor RSPB yesterday. A fantastic reserve. We also saw Bittern, Cuckoo, Hobby, Marsh Harrier, Garganey, Snipe, Redshank, Curlew and saw/heard 10 Warbler species.

This Hobby was hawking low over Marlow flood relief scheme yesterday afternoon. It was nice to see it return a couple of times as the usual sightings are rather more brief. @bucksalert @bucksbirdclub

[JimRose @JimRose]

I was out early greatest morning trying to find Grey Partridge for the Bucks Bird race team. I found a pair but they disappeared before the team arrived 🙄 However I was pleased to get nice views of this Hare. Near Little Marlow.

[JimRose @JimRose]

@LittleMarlowCP @timberstoreltd1 Well done Martin. A great job 👍

[JimRose @JimRose]

@Robbirder @JulieCuthbert1 That was quite amazing. I was just letting Rosie out in the garden before we went to bed and they were flying over. They must have been almost directly overhead as they were quite loud. I had some on the same day two years ago when there was a lot of talk about Scoter movements.

[JimRose @JimRose]

This Blue-winged Teal was found by @djbevanphoto at Marlow Low Grounds. He is having a good few months after finding the Two-barred Warbler at Spurn in October. If accepted the BW Teal will be first for Bucks.🍾
