Popped over to the stunning Long-tailed Shrike with @scoopwibbler - what a cool bird! Like an evil Wheatear

It spent a bit of time down on the floor grabbing crickets, generally having a lovely time I think.

Spotted this really brown kite between burnham and Uphill, first of all thought it was the marsh harrier until it banked and I saw the forked tail.felt a bit silly thinking maybe it was a Black Kite, but there’s now one knocking about very near by. Any thoughts on the pics below?

Heritage hobby box rip, a lot to work through and a lot of fun to rip. Snagged the base rookies, but anything in here looking decent? /77 James Wood, /99 Jesus Luzardo and a buyback Pat Kelly the hits I reckon. @CardPurchaser

One for the Gull fans, an absolutely belting Slender-billed Gull soaking up the Portuguese sun. Only saw this one, on its own on a salt pan that was full of water, lovely!

Chuffed to see the Cheddar Red Necked Grebe today. Battling the choppy conditions it seemed to be perfectly happy!

Frustrating time at Burnham looking for the Kentish, finally got eyes on a group of 6 Plovers and they flushed, will never know if it was amongst them. This lone Grey Plover was a nice find though.
