@GlosterBirder @UKGords So....how was the 'grey trembler' Mike ? 😆

Of the other lifers on #StLucia my favourites were Grey Trembler, Mangrove Cuckoo, Antillean Crested Hummingbird & Lesser Antillean Bullfinch. @ukgords 🇱🇨

@duncan_dine That looks like mine from last week. A comment told me that's the only one 🤔

Lots of firsts today including my first Cuckooflower of 26 down the Coombe Hill Canal Gloucestershire

@SoFiSupport My name is Chris Moore. I live in the UK I have no account with SoFi but you keep sending me emails about loan payments that I haven’t made. Please delete my email address from your systems; chrismoore4@outlook.com. Thank you.

@suemcdonald342 🤣🤣🤣

The Magnificent Seven.

@MarkDowie Yes, the males looked great in that sun yesterday.

Crossbill. One of many sightings during a cracking day spent with the very special birds of the Glos brecklands #GlosBirds

@upstarts1979 Nesting Magpies on the reserve 🤔😆😆

@Lesditch I certainly do Les, they were aggressive little sods. I witnessed them ousting Little Grebe from their nests and also attacking different diving duck species...too many introduced species affecting our indigenous wildlife. Grey squirrel, RN parakeets, mink etc👊💥

@upstarts1979 . Hey John, do you remember watching so many of these little stars at upton Warren years back ?

@AlanDaviesbirds You stupid boy Pike ! 😄😄😄

Just realized I click on the wrong photo! That’s Extremadura not Norfolk!! Doh.

Arrived safely in Norfolk ahead of 2 Birdwatching Trips Tours. A Barn Owl was the first bird seen in Norfolk hopefully a good omen. First tour starts tomorrow.

@MarkDowie Really nice Mark & very precise image. Nice to see on this cold dark morning. 👌

Alder catkins - a rare spray of colour on an otherwise grey day! Forest f dean #Glos

@Charlie071246 @OctopusEnergy When mine was like that, contant remote re-boots, did nothing. A power cut in our neighbourhood one night shut everything in the house down. When power came back on, smart meter worked fine. Obviously needed a complete reboot ! Think about it @OctopusEnergy

Very disappointed with @OctopusEnergy. My smart meter worked perfectly until they replaced the comms unit on 22 Dec. Since then it hasn’t transmitted readings. 9 calls, missed call-backs, conflicting explanations, still no fix. Nearly 80 & need to monitor usage. Not acceptable.

@AndyWarr3 Yes, many sub species have been 'lumped together " scientifically, but it is still good fun (& interesting) for us birders.

@AndyWarr3 Nice looking little bird Andy.

Presumed Siberian Chiffchaff Kempsey STW, in hedge by entrance to Kempsey Lowerham #WorcsBirds

@duncan_dine @WWTSlimbridge I missed you today Duncan

@TheQuietSoul13 @GlosterBirder All the best Tim.

@GlosterBirder Hi Mike, I will be relocating to Somerset this year so I am concentrating in that region. If you know of a counterpart in that county I’d be very grateful for a contact. Best wishes and thanks for all your invaluable knowledge. Tim

Please let me have your January scores. I'm bowing out on 121, one more than last Jan. Not planning on a Big Year but I wasn't last year. I missed Slav and Water Pipit (I haven't quite given up on that one yet). Lots of people have broken 100 this month. #GlosList #GlosBirds

@ShirtsDavid @OctopusEnergy So, your car is old & knackered & has to be scrapped off... But you want another one the same age, same old technology & none of the benefits of a newer car ? Really ? My smart meter tells me real-time what gas I'm using, what electricity I'm importing/exporting from my solar.

.@OctopusEnergy What in the absolute waste of your time is this bullshit? From experience anything prefixed with 'smart' is a fucking nightmare and useless. Tell me why I have to be bullied into this. This obviously benefits you and not me…

2 Whooper Swans with 2(?) Bewicks on canal in field adjacent to 'Crane field' (13 present) viewed 100 metres past solitary grey boat. Clear gap in bank foliage to view through. #GlosBirds @slimbridge_wild

#Tewkesburygarden: daily now 2 Goldcrests, male Blackcap, 2 Dunnocks, 2 Robins, 3 Blackbirds plus visiting Herring gulls, Magpies, Crows , Ravens over. #GlosBirds

@smart0406 @WWTSlimbridge @slimbridge_wild Beast !

I had this down as a Buzzard, taken from the Kingfisher hide and cropped to within an inch of its life. Sat on a low branch on the Bottom New Piece at @WWTSlimbridge #GlosBirds @slimbridge_wild

@MarkDowie Hey Mark, yes...I think I saw one.. 😆

I think I glimpsed a Brambling in amongst the Chaffinch flock...? A good Winter in the #Cotswolds for this fabulous finch in the Cotswolds - never mind so many birds in sumptuous plumage - and pleasing to find birds in five locations. A rare treat! #GlosBirds

5 Turnstones eventually. #GlosBirds

Berkeley shore: 2 Turnstones, 2 Mipits, 30+ Dunlin, 20+ Redshank, 20+ common Snipe, ##GlosBirds
