Save Marlow’s Greenbelt 🍃💚🍃

A lovely sunny wander around the #LMGP patch today. Both of yesterday's gulls reappeared - the 2w Casp and 1w Med - a better cropped pic of the Med plus original photo. Earlier 2 foxes were enjoying the sunshine on the spit.

An early, misty autumn morning at Little Marlow. Colour or b&w? @SaveMarlowsGB @LittleMarlowCP @bucksbirdclub @WildMarlow1 @chilternrangers @ChilternWoods @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders @bucksalert @BBCSpringwatch @_BTO #SpadeOak #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

A sizeable gull roost at #LMGP yesterday. Best was this adult Med Gull, but 2500+ Common Gulls is building to their peak mid Winter numbers. Also a roosting redhead Goosander

It's nearly time, WEDNESDAY 30th OCTOBER 7.30pm LISTON HALL, please come to our emergency film studio meeting.

@Hertsbirds At Little Marlow GP Bucks yesterday and Jubilee River Dorney before that.

Stumbled across a Cattle Egret this morning, preening on a post at the Marlow Low Ground floods. A reasonable chance this is the same bird that came in to roost at #LMGP last week.

I’ve heard from many residents concerned about the appeal of the Marlow Film Studios application and the Government actions to try and change Green Belt protections. I remain committed to defending our Green Belt, which is vital to our area, and I raised these concerns directly with the Deputy Prime Minister in a recent Parliamentary debate. ⚠🗣 The Government's proposed changes are out for consultation until 24th September, and I encourage everyone to have their say. 🔗 consult.levellingup.gov.uk/planning/plann…

The new Labour government are making changes to the planning process. This could mean building 100,000 new developments here in our constituency. Consultation on this proposal is currently open until 24th September, and I encourage everyone to have their say. 👇 🔗 consult.levellingup.gov.uk/planning/plann…

Some distant cropped gullage from #LMGP. Today's 1cy Caspian Gull - looking quite tatty as it is missing swathes of lesser and median coverts. Seems unnatural but was on both sides. Yesterday's 1cy Yellow-legged Gull in the 3rd pic.

Wasn't expecting this Common Scoter to drift past me this morning at #LMGP. We don't often get them here and this is only my 2nd record.

Male Common Scoter at Marlow, thanks Adam #bucksbirdnews

A migrant flock of Common Terns flew in to #LMGP yesterday morning, including 2 1st summer types, 3 juvs and 3 adults - a strange combo. This is one of the 1st summer types.

It's taken a while, but eventually found a patch Redstart for the year. This juv female type was at the top of Emmett's in a hedge that has attracted them before. #132 for the year - slow going, but creeping onwards.

Back from holidaying and back on patch at #LMGP. Juv Black-tailed Godwit and Yellow-legged Gull this morning. On Sunday morning, a calling Tree Pipit over the north fields was patch year tick #131.

I took a short video of this morning's juv Black-tailed godwit at #LMGP just as it decided to fly off c06:30.

Stunning photos taken yesterday evening over Spade Oak Lake 💜💚 📷 Neil Richards Aurora Borealis 12/8/24 between 23.27-23.35

First bird I saw at #LMGP this morning was this huge looking Great White Egret, # 130 for the patch year list. Also found a couple of Striped Lychnis caterpillars on an unmown Dark Mullein right next to a busy road - new for patch @UpperThamesBC
