Wowee! Brilliant! Do you usually see chaffinches there? I used to hear them in my garden all the time but haven't for a while now.

Had probably my best birding day yet today at Rutland water! First ever sightings of chiff chaffs, oystercatchers and Osprey!

Appreciate that they might not be all that special to most of you, but to me!!🥰🥰

I will say though, nobody ever told me how frustrating birding can be! I was looking in trees for what felt like hours trying to locate the owners of various bird song and even though they were clearly no more than 50 foot from me I barely caught sight of any at all!!😅
