@groughgruff @RSPBMiddleton @Staffs_Birds @MercianBirding Certainly looks good for wood Sand👍

Great morning at @RSPBMiddleton. LSW, GShank, Dunlin, CSand, BlkWit, Cuckoo, CTern, masses of Swifts and this sandpiper (scope photo at a distance) Erring towards Wood Sand but opinions welcome. @Staffs_Birds @MercianBirding

@MarkSmiles5 @RSPBMiddleton Big flock of geese came in but only greylags and canadas yellowhammer along canal hedge

Still not fully dry after a moist mope round @rspbmiddleton this morning. 7 Blackwit, 2 Snipe, 13 Goldeneye. No sign of yday's reported Brent Goose - frustratingly the 2nd in 12mnths to be belatedly reported.

@MarkSmiles5 @RSPBMiddleton @Staffsbirdnews Where were the Yellowhammers please Mark?

Despite @RSPBMiddleton being 90%frozen, 5 G Partridge, 6 Pochard, 3 Goldeneye, 8 Goosander, GWE, Marsh Harrier, Common Gull & 2 Yellowhammer was a fairly decent return this morning. @Staffsbirdnews

@LeeEvansBirding @prrockmom 😲

A flock of at least a hundred TWITE currently at Seaton Snook

@prrockmom Cute indeed but look as if they need a snowy background

Part 3, cuteness overload with these fluffballs

@PMinshull Here’s a really scruffy photo of them both - you might need to enlarge it a bit. Anyway where were you 😎

@corfielddj That's just you being greedy!! 🤓

There. Are two Marsh harriers now

@groughgruff I found a Czech Republic site where they used yellow nose tags and have sent them this photo I will let you know what happens

@MarkSmiles5 @RSPBMiddleton @Staffsbirdnews Welcome back Mark, glad to see you are all in one piece this time and that your ability to find the birds is not diminished. 👍

After 3 weeks in Bolivia, my first visit to @RSPBMiddleton in a month was, unsurprisingly, rather light on tanagers, antbirds and condors. Still, a latish Garganey was a pleasing find on Reed Pool. Also 3 Shelduck, Dunlin, 10 Snipe, Stonechat, 7 Mipit, 4 Siskin. @Staffsbirdnews

@DaveHobbyHutton But you can have too much of a good thing - from last night

Merveille du Jour (Nuneaton,Warks 15/10/25) Always a highlight of Autumn mothing... #TeamMoth
