WHITE-TAILED EAGLE Aston Clinton (Bucks) / Wilstone (Herts). NE low across A41 far ahead of me at Aston Clinton (pic1), checked Wilstone Res with no luck but then briefly saw it sat on large dead tree surrounded by corvids (pic2) - assume Marlow bird. #bucksbirdnews #bucksbirdalert #hertsbirds

New species for Watermead - a juvenile MERLIN just rocketed through, along the River Thame, over the large lake then slalomed between the rooftops! Looking very out of place in the urban environment… #bucksbirdnews #birding #nature #wildlife @chilternsnature.bsky.social #bucksbirdalert

Just back from Iceland but feels like I haven’t left! First proper look at Watermead of the new year & finally back with the ‘proper’ camera - this male GOOSANDER on the ice was a nice way to kick-off… #bucksbirdnews #birding #nature #wildlife #winter #winterwatch @chilternsnature.bsky.social

RICHARD’S PIPIT Watermead! In from N, landed on short rough grassland nr junction. No sign when I arrived 2mins later as dogwalkers beat me, or after extensive search. 1st thought small thrush but flight like skylark, then good bins views. Only got these pics as it bounded to ground… #bucksbirdnews
