Leighton Moss

Lovely spring day at Leighton Moss over weekend. Highlights were roosting Tawny Owl Marsh Tit Bearded Tit Wood Sandpiper Grasshopper Warbler and long staying rarity Cattle Egret

Hawfinch and more

Great day out in Cumbria and Lancashire. First stop Sizergh castle for Hawfinch

Next it was Leighton Moss where we had brief views of Bearded Tit on the path to the grit trays and excellent views of Marsh Tit on the feeders.

We then went onto Heysham where we had the best views of Twite I've had in 30 years mixed in with other finches

We also had nice views of a Mediterranean Gull

We finished off at Marshside Marsh RSPB and saw a Great White Egret and the Ross's Goose that's been around for over a week

New Year's Day Norfolk

Great winter day birding in Norfolk. Bearded Tit Richardson's Canada  Goose Hen Harrier Marsh Harrier Brambling Sparrowhawk Barn Owl Eurasian White-fronted Geese Barnacle Geese being the highlights of a total list of 62 species

More Bearded Tits!

Managed to get to Leighton Moss this  morning witih Dave and didn't have to wait long for a pair of Bearded Tits to come to the grit trays. Fabulous looking birds.
