Another successful twitch to Heybridge for the Northern Waterthrush for most people today. Cooler weather with stronger winds saw it generally keep lower than yesterday but it stayed in the same general area and showed intermittently. EBwS Bird News BirdGuides
If twitching the Waterthrush tomorrow,please please use nearby car parks, not local streets - residential areas can’t cope with the extra vehicles especially at the weekend when more vehicles are ‘not at work’. Some roads are private. EBwS Bird News BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK
Got lucky with an hour's visit to Heybridge this afternoon - lifer no.1 of the year and well done again to Simon Wood for an amazing find! EBwS Bird News
A PLEA to every one visiting the Heybridge Northern Waterthrush - please USE NEARBY CARPARKS and not residential roads. My neighbours have been very understanding but remain concerned about this, as do I @EPWildlife BirdGuides EBwS Bird News RareBirdAlertUK
Thanks to the finder of the Northern Waterthrush Simon Wood for still making many birders very happy this morning with it still showing well by the sluice

Thanks so much to John Buchanan for the gift he dropped in today, very much appreciated-but should I use it?? Hopefully I’ll find a few more goodies in my lifetime but I suspect I won’t come close to this on the bonkers scale! EBwS Bird News BirdGuides
Wtf is wrong with people?? Three days after Skylark protection signs go up 2 signs are missing & 5 no entry barriers r vandalised! People I met today were v supportive of bird nesting season rules #wildlifecrime #priorityspecies @EPRural Colchester City Council
Return barge trip from Maldon to Colne estuary was fantastic for sunrise, sunset & big skies but quiet for birds. Highlights 5 C. Scoter, 6 Sand. Tern, a juv. Gannet, a Great Egret & 40+ Med. Gull. Also Grey & Common Seal. Thanks to Top Sail for an excellent day. Swallow Birding & Wildlife
