A mini Rutland Water has formed in a field just outside our village. A flock of 150 - 200 lapwing was there yesterday, along with the heron, gulls and a tree full of fieldfares. All gone today.  Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust @LROSbirds BTO The British Nature Guide RSPB rutlandonline

Today in our field a lone fieldfare. The photos don't do him justice; he really was magnificent. Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust @LROSbirds BTO The British Nature Guide BBC Springwatch RSPB Team4Nature rutlandonline #gardenbirds #wildlife #wildbirds #birds #wildbirdsuk #britishbirds

A very handsome new visitor to the field today. He's ringed - I wonder where he came from? Very appreciative of the sunflower seeds. Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust @LROSbirds BTO The British Nature Guide BBC Springwatch RSPB Team4Nature rutlandonline #wildbirds #wildbirdsuk #britishbirds

I never knew #buzzards came in a pale version until this chap moved in. Meet Buzz Light....He's looking for a mate I think as spends much of the day flying around the field yelling. Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust @LROSbirds BTO The British Nature Guide RSPB Team4Nature rutlandonline

5.30am visit to Rutland Water Nature Reserve I went to every hide! Zoomed over to Lagoon 3 from Mallard on @Lufbrabirder promise of barred tailed godwits. Godwits gone. Nice to meet Steve though (he lives up to his name) 🙂 @LROSbirds rutlandonline
