I had a lovely few hours yesterday morning birding around RSPB Frampton Marsh, including spoonbills, speckled redshank (with sneakily non-red shanks!), black tailed godwits and little ringed plover - as well as teal, shoveler, mallard and tufted ducks.
I usually think of Frampton as a place to go in winter, that’s certainly been changed. I might go back for one of their wader ID courses - the list above was reached in part by taking a *lot* of photos and reviewing them this morning with a couple of fieldguides and merlin to help me… (Yes, I got the spoonbills without help, thank you very much!)
Anyway, go to Frampton, see loads of cool birds (even if you can’t ID some of them on the spot), chat to friendly fellow visitors and the wonderfully welcoming reserve staff & volunteers, spend a couple of quid in the café (I rate the cheese scones), you really won’t regret it!

Quite quiet at #RSPBFrampton this morning, but saw some #Goldeneye which was nice having failed to find any when actually looking for them in December closer to home.

Here’ something different for this week’s #WednesdayWildfowl - this is a #BlackWingedStilt at #RSPBFrampton on my other recent #birding trip on 29 July. They’re faintly ridiculous, but also quite cool.

Cracking day out #birding with a friend, if a bit high carbon for my usual tastes. Three cranes (twice), a bittern in flight (twice) and up to four marsh harriers at a time at #WillowTreeFen, followed by tea and brunch at #RSPBFrampton where we saw crowds of spoonbills, avocets & black-winged stilts, plus yellow wagtail, a ruff, sandmartins, another marsh harrier, little grebes… #duck wise, mallards; pochard; teal; shelduck & a pintail…
