@ChaterTodd @saltwellsbirder Nice! I saw the gadwall and pintail on Thursday, no Teal that I saw. Wow that does look soggy 😬

5 Gadwall on Fens pool this morning, 3m 2f with drake Pintail and ad YLG @saltwellsbirder @CourtS2196 very soggy under foot.

@ChaterTodd @Rhbirder12 @saltwellsbirder Oh awesome, haven't checked Fens in a while, will have to take a look 👍

Drake Pintails still on fens pool 11am. Seems to have been back a few days according to @Rhbirder12 who also had Com Snipe and YLG with it last week @CourtS2196 @saltwellsbirder

Fens Pools full of life yesterday. Found the wigeon on Grove, Pochard on Middle with 16 swans and a Kingfisher. No sign of the Teal, but Pheasant by Fens and Muntjac at the ridge and furrow @ChaterTodd @saltwellsbirder

@ChaterTodd @saltwellsbirder Oh wow! Awesome finds! Might be a bring camera to work day tomorrow then 👍

6 m Pochard on fens middle. The 3 Gadwall on there with 18 Mute Swans, Kingfisher. Flighty f Wigeon finally settled on Grove calling away 12.40 Teal on long pond @saltwellsbirder @CourtS2196

@yelloowec @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @BC_WestMids Oh wow! Amazing! I know you've been wanting to see them 😁

White-letter Hairstreak was find of the day at Saltwells NNR, Dudley. The work that took place last winter to open up glades in the wood seems to be paying off 😁👍. @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @BC_WestMids

@1980eighty @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @savebutterflies Thank you for saying so 👍 picture was more for record purposes

@CourtS2196 @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @savebutterflies Great to see just a pic of a butterfly you didn't want to disturb. Doesn't have to be super resolution, bokeh, focus, sharpness etc. Need more of this.

Buzzing is an understatement for my find this morning! Purple Emperor butterfly Saltwells National Nature Reserve! Poor photo due to not wanting to spook it getting too close @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @savebutterflies

@ChaterTodd Ohh awesome, which pond was this mate?

Been watching these Southern Hawkers emerge the last few days from a small newt pond, Fens. At least a 15 like that. Loads of newt efts in in this particular pond. @CourtS2196

Bar headed goose on Canon Hill park pool, Edgbaston. Never seen one before

@Tomonabike46 @ChaterTodd @Rhbirder12 @saltwellsbirder @andyshawbirds1 Are you kidding me! The one day I'm not there

Red kite above Dell stadium 15:50 @ChaterTodd @Rhbirder12 @saltwellsbirder @andyshawbirds1

@Tomonabike46 😮😱 oh my god!

FFS!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬 So once again a lack of support for pretty much all wildlife crime across the country but Surrey Police are trying to justify this!! Morons!

@yelloowec @BC_WestMids @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @HikerMartin @Tomonabike46 Wow! Weren't we just talking about that the other day? 😮

Over the moon to find Small Blue (Cupido minimus) on site again 😁. Last recorded sighting was in 2017. Saltwells NNR, Dudley. @BC_WestMids @DudleyNature @EcoRecording @HikerMartin @Tomonabike46

@ChaterTodd @saltwellsbirder Awesome! Typical for it to appear today
