Todd chater

3 young Tawny Owls at the Fens. @andyshawbirds1

I think I’ve just had a Temminck’s over Netherton hill/Hampton st 00.35 Just the one call. A bit Swift like but got that wader twang 🤷‍♂️ listening to the noc flight calls on xeno sounds good @andyshawbirds1 @craig_round

Hobby NW over Mushroom Green 13.12 @westmidsbirding

A cracking midday hr on netherton hill! Reed warbler singing and showing, green hairstreak thanks to @ChaterTodd and @HikerMartin … then me and Todd have a low osprey over! Todd’s photos 👍

@andyshawbirds1 @HikerMartin Unfortunately right into the light as it came over our heads

Fantastic hr on netherton hill midday, Reed warbler singing and showing in scrub, a fantastic green hair streak thanks to @HikerMartin and @ChaterTodd then I pick up an osprey through which showed lovely for us for a few minutes!

Male Wheatear with it.

After a cold, quiet couple of days around nertherton hill it was nice to pick up this female redstart this morning! Probably rarer up there was the m pheasant 🫣😂 which was very vocal and showed briefly! @Warksbirdobs @BirdGuides

@andyshawbirds1 @craig_round Redstart on Netherton hill

Male wheatear on the entrance track to wassell grove fisheries @ChaterTodd @craig_round

@andyshawbirds1 @WestMidBirdClub @pmandrews1973 The Sibe that I picked up on the 6th appears to still be around. Saw the bird in the opposite corner where it immediately stood out. Again silent but same jiz like it’s not used to people. Where it had started its winter moult around its face 3 weeks ago it’s now moulting breast

Siberian type Chiffchaff still present at middle pool fens early morning, showing well! @WestMidBirdClub @ChaterTodd @pmandrews1973

@groughgruff I’m in my winter plumage. Must have a shave the weekend 😆

@ChaterTodd I’m sure at st Ken. I was going running after, so would not have had glasses on. I look weird with and without glasses 😀

Rouzels showing well all afternoon to 16.45. Nice to meet Sparrow Hawk et al from Oxford way and get them on the birds which were a bit skitty at one point with birders circling the paddocks. But patience paid off at a distance

@groughgruff That’s right. I knew your face but couldn’t place it

@ChaterTodd I met you at St Ken. but didn’t recognise you yesterday (sorry). wind yday made viewing v. difficult and they always seemed to be behind the electric tape. Malvern birds look really nice & I thought about a trip to see them but your photos make these worthy of a second visit. 👍

@groughgruff Yes same two birds. Think you put me on the yesterday when I arrived. They certainly looked scruffier yesterday. Wind might have played a part.

@ChaterTodd Is that Lutley Todd? I didn’t see the silver wings on the two I saw yesterday.
