Oystercatcher Green A22, originally ringed @LaneMarsh on 13/06/2019, has just been spotted 90km away in Whixall (16/02/2026).
Six years on and still telling a story, one set of colour rings at a time. 💚

✨ Barn Owls are just magical!
Last night on Packington Estates, Solihull we re-caught a ringed bird, turns out it was one we’d ringed as a chick just 2km away @LaneMarsh in 2023. 💫 Wonderful to see it thriving and staying local! 🦉💛 #BarnOwl

Fantastic news! A Nightjar was ringed at @LaneMarsh last night, just a stone’s throw from Birmingham Airport ✈️. That makes 6 in 4 years, all juveniles, highlighting a clear migration route for these elusive birds 🌙🪶. #Nightjar #BirdMigration

A long awaited Warks VC38 tick for me at Marsh Lane NR. Not moved so fast in a while. Not even had coffee yet. Roseate Tern found by Glen Giles, his fifth Reserve first.

Pine martens caught on camera playing on children's swingset in Ardnamurchan, Scotland. The owner of the video, Les Humphreys, tells us this is a nightly occurence in his garden.

Sitting on the edge of Kroga geo @FI_Obs when I noticed brown blobs on the beach. A closer look revealed at least five Woodcock! Autumn migration on islands is just unbeatable.

I know this is daft but I really hate the formulation "another vote for x species" when discussing bird identification. As a birding political scientist, I really must insist that the logic of majoritarian democratic politics cannot and should not be transposed to bird ID.

Avian Influenza is killing large numbers of Black-headed Gulls at inland and coastal breeding colonies across central and northern England, prompting fears among scientists that a new wave of the disease could be building bit.ly/42ZIkbD

So thats what the new scrapes look like at @LaneMarsh from a birds eye view👍
Scrapes are great wetland features - they create habitats for birds and water-loving invertebrates, and reduce flood risk.

A slightly larger image of the juv Little Stint at @LaneMarsh apparently the first for 2 or 3 years. The high wind and torrential rain made it difficult for digiscoping. I picked the bird up flying low across the Railway pool almost certainly brought down by the adverse weather👍

Stunning morning @LaneMarsh with good numbers of young warblers and Sand Martin ringed, along with this stunning Kingfisher. What an absolute privilege to be able to ring and monitor this species.
