Feeling a bit tired this morning after finishing a split shift around midnight. However, the payback was driving 3 of my mates to wantage yesterday to see a very special and unusual visitor…🇬🇧☑️👍 @TheDetermin8or

@MHamzij @TheDetermin8or @WiltsBirdClub Jack snipe reported Langford on bird guides at 1110 today

@MHamzij @TheDetermin8or @WiltsBirdClub Hi mike where were the last two?

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

@TheDetermin8or Rinsed it this afternoon in my lunch break! Not as many up there as I thought there would be. Looks like it’s the 7th for Wiltshire and maybe first since the nineties! Great find👍

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

@TheDetermin8or Popped up at dusk, 4 green and 3 common, no sign of our American friend. May have gone to roost early….

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

Speaking of the gulls, they are going over now!!!!!!!

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

Over the last few night there have been (ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand) bh and herring gulls going north/north east over salisbury and Amesbury. Usually at dusk. Is there a gull roost at westbury or are they going up to coate or even the water park? @WiltsBirdClub

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

@MOTHIDUK I think we are on the same page, a couple more are just super worn. The little micro was on a towel on the washing line!

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

Hi Sean cam I just check these grass moths/micro cheers ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

@MOTHIDUK Cheers, I was thinking hedge rustic last night but crumbled in daylight!

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]

A few macros from last night, is this just a really dark square spot rustic, it looked Interesting in the dark but in the daylight…….cheers ⁦@MOTHIDUK⁩

[SarumBirder @Sarumbirder]
