Yellow-legged Gull
Azure-winged (Iberian) Magpie
Spotless Starling

 

[cafe birder]

black redstart, short eared owl and cettis warbler on the Clevedon (UK) day list today amongst about 75 species in total.

black redstart, short eared owl and cettis warbler on the Clevedon (UK) day list today amongst about 75 species in total.

S-e Owl takes the UK list to 99 I believe.

 

[mark clements]

To the 99 UK birds at post 42 I think I can only add Red Legged Partridge and (escapes) Bar Headed Goose (North Tuddenham, Norfolk, at 1.30 pm)

[Farnboro John]

I decided it was go, with just a band of rain mid-morning. So up and out before dawn, plodge round Hillside marsh, bird round RAF Odiham, quick whiz down the M3 to the New Forest. Eyeworth Pond, Milkham Plain, Mark Ash Wood, Blackwater (briefly) then on out to Pennington where the weather cleared. After that, just Blashford and finally a watch over Black Gutter Bottom.

103 species and 4 mammals (Grey Squirrel, Roe Deer, Common Seal and Fallow Deer).

[Trystan]

Didn’t see them on the list, although they may have been, I can add long eared owl and willow tit

 

[JWN Andrewes]

Quick skim through the thread and I think the only birds I can add are King Eider, Cattle Egret, Glaucous Gull & Common Scoter, unless any of them have already been contributed and I missed it.

EDIT - And Red Kite?

 

[Swindon Addick]

Just about warmed up after slogging round south Devon in heavy rain (morning) and gales (afternoon). Fortunately not both at the same time...

Anyway, Broadsands was pretty quiet but there were some quality birds there including these that I don't think are on the UK list yet:
Cirl Bunting
Firecrest
Great Northern Diver

 

[Gander]

Common Scoter and Red Kite are already in, but the others are new entries. :t:
