Alfie, a Cairn Terrier #terriertuesday

My first outing of 2025. Paid too much attention to the weather forecast instead of the tide tables, and missed Slavonian, Red-Necked Grebe and Lesser Yellowlegs in Lymington marsh area! Did get a few photos of regular winter birds in the area, and my first Winter Heliotrope flower. #HantsBirds

Farmland birding near Dunbridge, Test Valley. The area had a good spell last winter with Corn Bunting, Brambling, and Goosander, but my weekend walk was low on quality. Yellowhammers seen briefly and a flock of 28 Skylark was ok. Managed pics of Linnets, Raven, and Reed Bunting. #Hantsbirds

#SouthernWater water outage affecting 70k people for 2 days now. Luckily just 2 of us home, and we had a small supply of bottled water. Watering cans filled from the nearby stream for toilet flushing purposes. Where is the resilience? 1 failure should not wipe out water to 70k people.

A fault at a Southern Water supply works has left thousands of people without water and forced schools to close

A simple feed to capture all posts from the last 7 days labelled with #texasbirds #testing

Holidays! Birding in Western Cape, South Africa exceeded my expectations, for birds and spectacular quantities of wild flowers #birds

Too much cloud in TestValley. Tried Michelmersh and Danebury! But something going on behind the clouds for sure last night. #Aurora #Hampshire

Radford's Flame Shoulder the highlight of a moth trap set up at the coast near New Milton Hampshire, on Friday 4th October, 2024. Not a lot else, but this was high on my "most wanted list"! #teammoth

A nice morning getting closer photos of some of the Ringed Plovers roosting at Calshot. Involved crawling over shingle, but no birds were flushed. Until a walker passed thru the flock a few minutes later. Oh well. #HantsBirds #UKBirding

Still relatively quiet around Keyhaven, Pennington and Normandy. Nothing really noteworthy, but a nice bright morning for photos. #Hantsbirds #UKBirding

The feeds seem to be getting a lot of this over the last day or so

Strange little insect visited the office yesterday: A Pond Olive Mayfly. #Macro

Everything's Gone Green! RSPB Pagham Harbour earlier this week, with Green Woodpecker and Emperor Dragonfly the most photogenic subjects. A Firecrest and Spotted Fly in the churchyard were more elusive, while Med Gull and Whimbrel were more distant. #UKBirding

The "Code" for the HantsBirds feed on skyfeed

Bright and sunny bank holiday on the Hampshire coast. Just the routine species around, but some showing well for pics, in particular Dunlin, Little Egret and Spoonbill. (OM-1 and 100-400mm) #HantsBirds #UKBirding

The most intricate, beautiful patterns of a Greenshank, and it's on the underwing where we rarely see it! This one at Keyhaven, Hampshire #ukbirding #HantsBirds

Great White Egrets the highlight at Fishlake Meadows, Romsey this evening. Osprey still around but not showing very well from the screens. #HantsBirds

Loving https://Skyfeed.app like a modern day Tweetdeck.

Made a small tweak to the #Hantsbirds feed this evening. Mainly to filter out #Northantsbirds Posts!

Devon Carpet, captured last night with UV LEDs in local woods just outside Southampton. Quite a few records locally this year. I believe they get very scarce further East of me #Teammoth

Barred Rivulet and Oak Eggar the highlights of a Moth trap in Hampshire Chalk Downs pdjwildlife.wordpress.com/2024/08/10/m... #Teammoth

Swallow, Sand Martin, and Black-tailed Godwits passed close by me, with the afternoon sun behind me for a change! at Lymington. (Om-1, 100-400mm) #Hantsbirds #UKBirding
