First Snow bunting of the season on the north Norfolk coast, and he wasn’t afraid.
He came too close to focus at one point. (Uncropped images)

More than 100 Eurasian Stone-curlews have fledged from an RSPB nature reserve in Wiltshire since a former farm was transformed into a haven for the rare breeding bird 20 years ago: f.mtr.cool/x110cc5wv7

LPO is calling for permanent shooting ban for #Curlew & Black-tailed Godwit.
This would provide protection for thousands of both species that winter in and migrate through France.

Pleasant trip to Kent today. Main event was the book launch in Sittingbourne of Robert Canis’s “ELMLEY first light to last”. A life’s work of stunning landscape and wildlife images taken across the reserve.
Managed the Grey Phalarope, Spot Red at Milton & 80 Pintail at Funton😊
ALT Great to catch up with the excellent Grey Phalarope on its favoured pool on Holborough Marshes. An excellent record for the Medway Valley.
ALT Watched the tide in at Funton Creek. Some nice counts including 550 Redshank, 14 Greenshank, 140 Avocets and 80 Pintail

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

Each autumn, adult waders do a complete change of feathers. It's an energetic process that takes longer than the breeding season.

Across Europe, country after country reports the same crisis for Eurasian Curlews - adult birds may survive and return each spring, but too few young are fledging to replace them. They live a long time so populations may look present, but they are disappearing from beneath us.

Unforgettable PM at the Dungeness Fishing Boats when at c14:15 I picked up a fabulous BROWN BOOBY feeding amongst a group of Gannets offshore. Panic ensued but the 5 of us got on the bird before MC summoned more eyes from DBO & local birding community. Photos to come by others🌟

If you're planning to go the coast this weekend, in Ireland or the UK, please look out for colour-ringed Oystercatchers.
New blog about juveniles tagged in Iceland:

But where are their colour-ringed parents?

A major new review brings together 20 years of GPS data from 626 Eurasian Curlews across Europe. It shows that tracking is no longer simply telling us where birds go, it is revealing what Curlews need to survive and where conservation must act. 🧵

The sparrows that don’t exist do exist on farms, in ever increasing numbers. They don’t exist walking around the park with 3 dogs and air pods in!
