We didn’t expect to catch this Kestrel during a garden winter CES catch in Dorset this morning. Then to find the bird had a Dutch ring and a satellite tag!! @_BTO

We got lucky with the Wyke Regis Desert Wheatear this afternoon in strong winds when it flew across the fleet whilst watching roosting Gulls. It then showed distantly on Chesil Beach before disappearing amongst the pebbles. A cr Oyc from Blakeney Point (8/25) showed a bit better.

🌙✨ Incredible thermal survey in Charlton, Worcestershire last night! We ringed 42 Skylarks, including a retrap from early 2025. Amazing to see around 150 birds across several fields and a great side-by-side look at female (R) vs male (L) Skylarks. #thermalbirding

Pretty sure this is a distant Knot but it is very white and all my other knot shots show more markings on the neck and breast.

Also exciting to spot an orange ring today among the tangle of seaweed and gull legs. We think this young Herring Gull with code A44:M has likely been ringed by @ManxRinging on the Isle of Man, but look forward to hearing the full details soon

@AH_birdartist @bobservablelife @EdJBetteridge Just shows you those birds are / were over the Channel when the sun came up & headed for W. France. Wind & viz. brings them in between Selsey & Lands End. They say they used to nest here (NE Italy, 19th C.) but the huge sedge beds are long gone. Industry, maize & soya now.

AQUATIC WARBLER!!! Still can’t believe we caught this stunner at Carey this morning! Made it worthwhile giving it a go between weather fronts. The bird was interestingly a good weight of 15g!

@KathyHu91105321 Birds are caught by a range of techniques but normally using specially designed mist nets. This is done by trained ‘ringers’ all following strict licensing/guidance by the BTO. More info here bto.org/get-involved/v…

Hit 4000 birds ringed at Carey this autumn today with a monster of a 20.0g Sedge Warbler! However, the stand out highlight of the morning was this stunning HOBBY!! Not something I ever thought I would be lucky enough to catch!
