Field studies of one of the reported 3 White-rumped Sandpipers at Beacon Ponds, Spurn. A British tick and my first since seeing two in Canada in 2003. Got the clinching features but not all the detail due to the hazy conditions. Cheers Wader Quest

The Tree Sparrow breeding season was badly hit by the early harvest. It looked like they were going well, but in the end 1026 young fledged from 119 pairs at an average of 8.6. This is above average, but it's the worst breeding season for 5 years. They need a good winter now🙏

A great result!
