Rather than walking round the reservoir Phoebe Bridgers style I ran. Glad I did as it flew off just before I got there and flew past me heading north. Crane at Island Barns Res. Later seen over Richmond Park. Thanks to Darren Spragg and Dave Harris. SurreyBirdClubNews

Not the best photo but enjoyed the Colliers Wood Marsh Warbler. A brilliant find by Mark Bravery 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 SurreyBirdClubNews

wildsurrey.com/post/moth-extr… Anybody fancy an amazing week's moth trapping in Scotland this August? Still a few places available. It's going to be fantastic.

Late May usually a good time for a pulse of adult Black Terns locally. 2 this afternoon at Island Barn Reservoir. Thanks Dave Harris for the tip off. They weren’t there in the morning ….honest. SurreyBirdClubNews Surrey Bird News Surbiton Bird Club Island Barn RSC

Had a splendid day #oaremarshes. The Bonaparte’s Gull showed really well (eventually). #birdguides

St Marlo to Portsmouth…… but very much the French side. 45 Great Sheers and a single Corys

Well guess who I’ve gone to visit.

Felt very mothy last night so stuck the trap out. This Vestal was the stand out highlight. A first for my tiny suburban garden in Surbiton. Surrey Moths

Splendid views of the Osterley RB Shrike this evening. London Bird Club

Well that was a nice surprise. After two weeks flogging around Foula with little to show for it news of the Yellow Warbler at Hoswick broke as we were heading for the plane. One of my most wanted. Wonderful. Nature in Shetland BirdGuides

“Dad…..how yellow was the Yellow Warbler?” “Well daughter, it was very yellow.” Went back for seconds of the Yellow Warbler as Hoswick this morning. BirdGuides Nature in Shetland #yellow

The Island Barn Res Grey Phalarope showed beautifully this afternoon. Sadly permit only. SurreyBirdClubNews Surbiton Bird Club

Late to the very cold 🥶 party. The Heybridge Northern Waterthrush. BirdGuides

Caught up with a few Waxwing this winter. The birds in Bushy Park have been the most satisfying particularly when dropping down to a puddle to drink. London Bird Club

Sounds like it’s been a good day for the inland patch worker. No Arctic or Black Terns for me but 12 yellow wag, 2 Barwits, Greenshank, 5 Common Sand and lots of hirindines and swifts at Island Barn Res and environs. One of the wagtails. SurreyBirdClubNews Surbiton Bird Club

The local Cuckoo didn’t think much of the interloper. Soon got back to a favourite perch once it had seen it off. Walton this afternoon. Oddly no Red-backed Shrikes yet. SurreyBirdClubNews

These your lads Lee Evans (LGRE) - the official account ?

Rarely see Black Tern this well. Long Water Home Park, Hampton Court. With thanks to Rob and Thomas wildlife who I think found it (apologies if not). London Bird Club

Really enjoyed getting close up and personal to the Beachy Head Desert Wheatear this afternoon. #birdguides
