The Eurasian Spoonbill’s bill pattern aids in detecting and capturing prey by channelling water flow and vibrations to sense movement. It also breaks up its outline, making it less visible to prey, and improves hydrodynamics for efficient foraging. RSPB RSPB England

This gorgeous BHG is a great example of the stunning beauty that can be found in the familiar. Sometimes we just need to look closer to home!

Group of local birders had a great view of a Purple Heron this morning Exminster Devon Wildlife Trust Devon Birds RSPB Exe Estuary & Darts Farm RSPB BBC Wildlife Bird Watching #purpleheron #devon #birdphotography #birdwatching #rspb #exeter

Wheatears are showing well lately. They have a characteristic 'bandit mask' (usually males) and are long distant migrants heading for Africa in the winter. Have you seen any lately?

Thanks to the local WhatsApp group we managed to be in the right place for an Osprey flyover. Looks like an unringed adult male. Stunner!! RSPB Exe Estuary & Darts Farm
