Female Bearded Tit still present yesterday exactly 2 months after it appeared. 2 Siskin with Goldfinch flock and Jay new for me. Only 6 of the regular 8 Curlews this morning. #birding #birdinguk

It’s been pleasing to see sketching practice paying off lately. My buildings and landscapes are beginning to look just a little more convincing 😅
So I thought I’d better try and begin learning to sketch figures and animals

Moors #uptonwarren this morning. Generally quiet, c250 Linnet and 40 Stock Dove to bird crop. 2 Water Rail, low numbers of Teal, Shoveler and Tufted Duck but Pochard numbers increased to 8. A single female Goosander quite lethargic, hopefully not due to bird flu.
#introduction My third go on this platform! Twitter refugee. Will be posting about sightings on my patch and local wildlife friendly farm. The only photos will be of dodgy record shots! #birding #birdinguk #uptonwarren

Thanks to all 18 work party crew for today at MOORS #uptonwarren. Pollarding willows, creating habitat piles from brash, also linked gaps in bramble/hawthorn hedge with brash to minimise unwanted incursion (humans) & improve scrub. Also repaired stock fence. 👍 @susiannamaud@twitter.com 🍰
