Decent morning on patch in Enfield with 1 Whinchat (my first of autumn), 1 Yellow Wagtail over and another Spotted Flycatcher. 34sp. Total London Bird Club Red_Birder #londonbirds #lowcarbonbirding




Just finished a walk on the patch, when I spot a Marsh Harrier drifting slowly high W over Oakwood Station at 11am, my first London record away from RSPB Rainham Marshes a rush to get the camera back out the bag! #Londonbirds London Bird Club BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK


Euro Bee-eater that zipped over my head in Spain at Lagunas de Camino Colorado this summer and caught a Swallowtail, wonderful to catch small flocks passing through on migration. Inglorious Bustards



Brilliant at KGV 2day w/ GDH56 . Long awaited Londonโ with Osprey that hung around for 10mins before heading E. Also Com Redstart, 5 Wheatear, c.500+ H Martin, Wigeon, RC Pochard, 6 Com Sand, 2 Raven, Red Kite, Kestrel, Peregrine & Sprawk 20+ Chiff BirdGuides London Bird Club


Does anyone know if these kinds of winds are likely to produce anything new on the east coast later this week? British Birding Weather Vogeltrekinfo


You can imagine my surprise when I uttered the words, "that's a Gannet" to GDH56 when I spotted this Juv flying S over KGV reservoir at 11.15. Not what we expected on such a calm sunny day! BirdGuides Red_Birder RareBirdAlertUK London Bird Club Neville Smith #londonbirds




A very obliging Northern Wheatear on my patch at Vicarage farm earlier this month. I will never tire of seeing them, one of the very best. Red_Birder London Bird Club #londonbirds #lowcarbonbirding


A few record shots of the Juve Gannet that flew through KGV on 11/10/24 a real London rarity, not what we expected to see on a calm sunny day in North London! GDH56 Red_Birder London Bird Club Reuben Braddock #londonbirds


East Barnet #vismig from 07:53-09:05: 712 Wood Pigeon SW, 230 Redwing, 14 Chaffinch, 1 Linnet, 1 Siskin, 5 Greenfinch, 4 Blackbird, 1 Grey Wagtail. Sadly no scarcities, but good to see migration in action over the garden. #londonbirds #lowcarbonbirding London Bird Club

This is a sad day. For the first time since I was 18, I'm too old to renew my Railcard to get cheaper fares ๐ญ๐ National Rail
