This Semipalmated Sandpiper at Trolla was a bit of an education in wader ID. Pics of the palmations in better light this morning were a help! A first island record for @NRonBirdObs !

Over the past few weeks the team has made great progress locating eleven Corn Bunting nests. As part of our project monitoring nests across multiple sites, we hope to elucidate which habitats and management practices support the highest breeding productivity.

3 more juvenile Bearded Tits were caught amongst the 250+ birds at Oxwich Marsh, Gower today. That’s now 5 young birds of this newly arrived species ringed. Hopefully they will establish themselves here after a 30+ year absence 🤞. #BirdRinging #GowerBirds #BeardedTit

This female Redstart was a lovely surprise on a farm on the Downs today. They don't breed nearby so she is our first southward bound bird of the 'Autumn'. People always go mad when I say that but birders consider southward migration as Autumn migration - yes I know it's June!

1/several What started as a normal Saturday morning, began for Ezra quite early (0430!!) as he finished his penultimate breeding bird survey of the year, and the later, the staff all saying goodbye to our guests from last week, and getting ready to clean the Lodge.

Yesterday’s session at Minsmere saw 54 birds processed, with the majority being this year’s juveniles, including our first juvenile Sedge Warblers. We also enjoyed the fresh emergence of Purple Hairstreak butterflies. Thanks to @vikingoptical for their continued support.

One of Britain's scarcest and most localised breeding waders, the Wood Sandpiper, with recently hatched young in a remote Highland peatland. (Young photographed briefly for record purposes only. Located alongside a Schedule 1 licence holder and @BirderSouth.)

To the silly sausage who reported me to the police for taking birds out of nests! Please read the header description - licensed bird ringer! So here is a lovely brood of Buzzards we ringed yesterday. And of course we put them back in the nest! I need to keep posting to educate.

Brief views of a Nightingale in Bewan garden were confirmed as a Common when it was later trapped and ringed. My first in the UK!

It has begun! The Corn Bunting breeding season is underway with two nests located yesterday containing eggs. For the next two months our team will be spending most mornings and evenings locating and monitoring Corn Bunting nests for the @_BTO nest record scheme.
