An interesting day at CWP. Catching up with WEBs this morning a Wigeon, Shoveler, Mandarin and a Water Rail calling from the reedbed were the highlights. U2 spy plane & 2 B52's over. Three hours strimming the net rides tonight. Three Teal & the Golden Merganser on Cleveland Lakes

Salisbury Plain CES6 today. A decent 112 birds processed with lots of 3J Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff & Blackcap along with a control Whitethroat. 2 female Redstart's also ringed, a sure sign that we are well into summer with failed/non breeders on the move #birdringing

These lads are members of Wiltshire Ornithological Society. They are super keen so it was my great joy to take them out to see Barn Owls being ringed. They were helpful holding the birds whilst I filled in my notebook. I love inspiring the next generation, and they inspire me with their enthusiasm

Look at these photos by a young member, Bud, of the Salisbury Cathedral Peregrines 😍 WOS Youth visited last Saturday and had great views, including the adult female making a kill! She was then surrounded by 4 juveniles creating a great spectacle. Thank you to everyone who came!

It’s that time of year that lots of bird are moving such a our swallows, but also when interesting and rare migrants can turn up too! One of Wiltshire’s army of bird ringers (and former WOS chairman) showed this in his outings ⬇️

Yellow Browed Warbler still in Bradford on Avon ⬇️ It has been an unprecedented year for these Siberian striped sprites in both the UK and Wiltshire so go and listen out for the distinctive ‘tsoeet’ call and find your own!

We had a great day celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Wiltshire Ornithological Society. I loved hearing how the original pioneers created the society. Wherever you are, if you are interested in birds, join your local bird club or Ornithological Society they do great work.

A visit to the Arne RSPB reserve where we should see a variety of heath and woodland birds, hopefully including Dartford Warbler and, in addition, on the salt marsh and in Poole Harbour a variety of waders and wildfowl. It is an all day meeting so lunch should be brought. 🪶
