Portbury Wharf Reserve on the River Severn. V peaceful and calm after the madness of the M5 on a Saturday! Saw a kestrel sat on a post eating something while I was in one of the hides, which was pretty cool š #uknature #ukbirders #fungifriday

Today was a Daddy & Ada Day. We went to Tophill Low again, and had a great morning walk. Lots of birds, including a drake Smew. Probably the best British Duck and the first time I've ever seen one.
As best I can tell, it was my 200th Yorkshire Bird.
A good day.

āOn Tuesday evening, at 20.05hrs, I was taking out the rubbish, when I heard a call from south-west of the house. I froze, knowing what it was at once, but scarcely believing it.ā http://northdownsandbeyond.blogspot.com/2022/11/kwowww.html?m=1 I love Steve Galeās thoughtful reflections on #patchbirding #lowcarbonbirding #mentalhealth #ukbirders well worth browsing the archives

Quick walk around #PaullHolmeStrays this lunchtime. Very windy, so hard going. Few birds other than the waders on the mud, which a female Merlin was harassing. One small wader in particular was chased for a good 30 seconds before escaping.
Finished with yet another late Swallow!

Birding on the nursery run...
I like to take my binoculars with me when I'm on the morning nursery drop off, I was rewarded this morning with a small group of White-fronted Geese.
No camera with me, but in this awful photo (badly taken using my phone camera and binoculars!), you can just make out the white front and black barring on the nearest one.

One for UK birders: Patchwork Challenge is a newly-revived birding challenge to spot birds on a 3km patch - rarer birds are worth more points!
This is my patch for the challenge - includes #PaullHolmeStrays, mudflats and drain near Saltend, plenty of farmland, and 2 pubs.
