Lovely wander round my patch this morning - little grebe on the pond, flyover by a couple of little egrets, heard my first cuckoo of the year and a visit from a sparrowhawk too :-)

Auf geht es zum Birding Treffen mit Freunden in die Dahlener Heide. In den Bildern versteckt sich ein komplettes Field Recording Set mit Parabolspiegel, Klamotten für 3 Tage und ein Fernglas. Frei nach dem Motto jedes Rad ist ein Lastenrad.

Excellent day at WWT London Wetland Centre yesterday. Local moaned there “wasn’t much about” while I was thrilled by the variety showing well. So what if peewits were the only waders in evidence and while there were many other herons the bittern didn’t show? Familiarity breeds contempt I guess.
Good views of sandmartins going in and out of their holes, a little egret stirring the water to fish, and photographing a kingfisher, were highlights.
Being unable to get photos to upload from my computer is annoying, so here’s a photo of my camera showing one of the photos of a kingfisher…#LowCarbonBirding #UrbanBirding #BirdsSeenIn2026 #Birding #BirdPhotography #Kingfisher #AlcedoAtthis #NotADuck

Birding walk this morning (new hat working well) and I failed to think of getting my camera out for the deer, but here are some hares, a red kite and a fieldfare. None of which are ducks.

Nice crisply cold fake commute this morning. Not too many automobiles, a beautiful flyover of seven geese, a close bare-eyed view of a handsome carrion crow… half an hour and I head off to donate platelets, always a worthwhile way to use up half a day of annual leave.

Today’s #WeekendWaterbird is a #GreatWhiteEgret on an urban pond, spotted on my morning walk. In England. Who would’ve imagined it?!

Barn owl again on my morning walk, in the same place, today… and this time I had my pocket bins on me :-)
Flap-flying about a lot, rather than gently gliding as I’ve normally seen before, though definitely still hunting.
Ideas for possible reasons -
warm still day makes gliding harder/impractical?
young/inexperienced bird?
lots of car noise interferes with the listening done when gliding, while flapping lets it cover more ground while predominantly eyeballing for prey?
flapping is more fun?#BarnOwl #TytoAlba #LowCarbonBirding #Birding #BirdsSeenIn2025

I may have skipped #TwoDuckTuesday yesterday, but I do have a pair of #TuftedDucks for today’s #WednesdayWaterbirds

The #WednesdayWaterbird is a #Gadwall, so that makes it the #DuckOfTheDay.
She’s etiher thinking about how pretty she is, or plotting nefarious deeds, and I know which my money is on.
-
Refollowing people is going to be a pain… I guess we’d better have some ducks in the meantime, and then I can reintroduce myself having shifted servers…
This #FiveDuckFriday we have four #TuftedDucks and more importantly a majestic #Shoveler, which is the #DuckOfTheDay

Getting ready to pop out for a dawn visit to my patch. The Met office and BBC say it is -5 or -6 Celsius with wind chill.
This shows that I… -
Looking at the forecast, I may be having second thoughts about my plan to start the new year the right way with a #LowCarbonBirding walk to and around my patch tomorrow morning!
-
Now I've logged off for Christmas, I just wanted to post that I had a brilliant birdwatch this morning down on my patch (the ducks are back!), with a lovely Mistle Thrush and a possible Redpoll... and saw a Great White Egret during my walk home again!

Fancypants new camera. It does a lot of zoom - the #Starlings and #CollaredDove are in both photos!
They are #NotDucks.

This is an extra duck to help anyone who wants distracting today. #DuckOfTheDay #Quack

Okay, where’s the other half of #TwoDuckTuesday? It is like you aren’t even trying!

The #MondayMallard is the first duck on my new phone. Can you tell the difference?

Even photographing through a telescope it can be hard to tell if the #DuckOfTheDay is a #TuftedDuck or a #Pochard when they are this #CameraShy... help please?

This #ThreeDuckThursday I've been awake since about 0400, so you can have some #DozingDucks from last year today.

Woke up at 0400. Again. At 0530 decided to get up and walk down to my patch for some birding. 40 minutes of things not-quite-going-right, phone and watch both uncharged, field guide not in bins bag, water bottle hiding, etc etc. Pushed through, opened the front door and discovered it is raining stair-rods and I some how haven't noticed. 0610 decided it was time to give up and read at book!

#FourDuckFriday seems a bit lacklustre today. Sorry about that.

Congratulations, this handsome chap is the #MayDayMallard, not just your #DuckOfTheDay but if you’re in the UK the #FirstDuckOfSummer!
A slightly #SuspiciousSwan is trying to sneak up on it by the look of things though...(Summer has begun in May since time immemorial, and Midsummer Day is in the middle of it, so please don’t reply to “educate" me about “meteorological” or “astrological” summer!)
