From Heidi Trudell at Just Save Birds - Volunteers in Chicago found almost ONE THOUSAND DEAD BIRDS THIS MORNING AT A SINGLE BUILDING.

Mark Wallace has just had Upland Sandpiper go SW over Polgigga. He heard it at night over a week ago, but thought he was having a moment.

Good 1st day out West: brief views of Upland Sand at Sennen, watched a Dotterel fly in with a Golden Plover, very pale Spot Fly at Lands End c50 Sooty Shearwaters & Arctic Skua off-shore, 3 Firecrest in Nanquidno Cornwall Birds

This is why I think the Skerries R H Bunt is an adult. If you see a set of photos the tail is broad not narrow, no streaks on rump and upper tail coverts. Yellow on ear-covert. 2nd cal female and 1st y male in photo. Compare ware on Brit birds.

The 2023 El Niño features warmer than average ocean water near the equator like past events, but also across much of the rest of the planet- much *unlike* past events! 💡 El Niño's impact on weather patterns in 2023-24 will therefore be different from strong El Niño events past.

Nice control Goldcrest today, ringing on St. Mary's in Oct 2022. Also a Belgian ringed Blackcap. Big fall of Chiffs today, 146 ringed

The evening before the hangover. Not feeling it was such a great idea today, as I hang out at a school fate.

1st Cal. Glaucous on Sennen Beach

Hours seawatch from Pendeen 08.15- 09.15. No Mr Big, but nice to see a 1st y Bonxie and quite good numbers of 1st y Kits. Also Sooty Shear and 7 Manx

A Fan-tailed Warbler has just been confirmed in Cameron County, Texas! (CODE 4) ebird.org/checklist/S158… Photo: Evan Farese (kiwifoto.com/rba/media/S158…) #ABARare #birding

Just got the 1st year Willow control back from Fair Isle. Took its time! Ringed on 18.8.23 controlled 23.9.23

All being well the two new Motus stations should cover the west coast of Penwith. Start installing on the 15th April.

Pendeen Motus/CTT station installed. Time for a beer.

Motus and CTT coverage in West Cornwall.

First big catch of migrants, around 195 ringed. Twelve Grasshopper Warblers and what seemed to be a high proportion of adult female Sedge Warblers.

Posted on Bluesky yesterday. Oldbury power station. Is it just me, but isn't this in advanced primary moult?
