  6. A pootle up the M5 to #HamWall in #Somerset with DB --- quite quiet on the reserve (both in terms of birds and people) and the highlights were a couple of species not on the 'expected' list; Cattle Egret (c15) and a Common Tern (1). #UKBirding #nature #wildlife #BirdsofMastodon

  12. Fabulous - but long - day out to see the Western Reef Heron, in south-west Wales. Great views and great company with DB, KO and AO.

    Afterwards some Chough and Puffin at the Deer Park, Lockley Lodge. #UKBirding #wales #nature #wildlife #chough #BirdsofMastodon

  17. Nothing finer than being in the hide at Bowling Green Marsh on a summer evening with no one else. Except if there's an absolutely beautiful summer plumage Spotted Redshank right in front of you. And with a great supporting 'cast' too inc. summer plumage Black-tailed Godwit, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank. Superb. #UKBirding #nature #wildlife #Devon #BirdsofMastodon

  22. 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!

  36. A fab. 6 hour trip in Lyme Bay, #Devon onboard Kelly's Hero. Highlights were great views of European Storm Petrel, a raft of at least 120 Manx Shearwater as well as a Sunfish & Gannet. Great company too.
