Drake garganey briefly on Dernford Reservoir this morning Cambs Bird Club

Turnstone, Rectory Pit, Etton, Cambs this afternoon, doing what they do. We’ve been spoilt with this species in our area this year, but always nice to see them inland Cambs Bird Club

Some more patch gold today at Grantchester, when this smart pair of Garganey dropped onto the River Cam.
Thought I'd listened to one too many recordings when I first heard the brushing-a-comb calls downriver - unexpected 109th species for the site for me Cambs Bird Club

Timed it right this morning with this party of 36 Arctic Terns at Fen Drayton Lakes Cambs Bird Club

Look at these beauties 😍
A Whinchat and a Wheatear travelling through the farm together early this morning. Initially found in the same bush it didn't take them long to find our beetle bank!

A great day birding with some year and patch ticks in the bag. Caught up with a Sandwich Tern and Barwit at RSPB Fen Drayton reserve. Wheatear, Bearded Tit, Redpoll and finally a Crane at RSPB Ouse Fen. Almost fell over a Bittern at one point too! Cambs Bird Club

Wicken Fen between downpours. A mate picked me up for a little birding yesterday. Devils Dyke provided a new lifer in a Lesser Whitethroat & the hide near Cock-Up bridge gave us a wonderfully bright Yellow Wagtail, caught in the ☀️.
Marvelous
