My first Scarce Chaser of the year (at Eldernell, Nene Washes, by Moreton's Leam), Cambs. It seems early, is it?

Garden Warbler, Woodwalton Fen, Cambs @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #UKBirding

I went to try to find my own Red-footed Falcon at Woodwalton Fen, then Great Fen, Cambs. While at the latter, I saw a White Stork come down to feed for about 25 mins, before it flew a few hundred metres further NW, then a few mins later, headed high west. I'm gonna count it for my year list..

Unusual, quirky Woodpigeon, Baston Fen, Lincs

Best I could get of the Baston Fen, south Lincs, young male Red-footed Falcon today @lincsbirding.bsky.social #UKBirding

@mikealibone.bsky.social Is this a candidate Northern or it a trick of the light?

I had a decent earlyish session at Deeping Lakes LWT east pit, this morning with 3 Avocets and 2 Redshanks (scarce here) when I arrived at 6.30am. Better still, though was a splendid adult Kittiwake which came down for a brief bathe and rest at 8.05am. @lincsbirding.bsky.social #UKBirding

The Bourne dark-breasted Barn Owl (spp. guttata) has been a cracking rare local treat. More on my blog at: weedworld.blogspot.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @justwildimages.bsky.social #UKBirding

I like Monday eve TV as it is 'quiz night' on BBC2. However, now Only C is finished, there's a gap between Mastermind and Uni Chal, and the BBC have decided to fill said gap with Chess Masters. Sadly, this turns out to be one of the worst thought out programmes I've ever seen; unwatchable shite.

Chelsea vs Copenhagen in the second leg of the Noddy Cup tie is almost as bad as he reverse fixture. Appalling first half, especially for Chels who keep giving the feckign ball away, and haven't had a single attack.

I feel a bit sorry for Ireland's Osborne, who has been made to look very weak by France. Allez les Bleus.

At the moment this overrated Ireland side of All Black rejects are being beautifully exposed by the superb French. Missing Lowe perhaps?

The ITV commentary team are so pro Ireland and anti this amazing French side. Particularly the main commentator who is trying through gritted teeth to praise France, though he hates them scoring! Allez Les Bleus!

The first half of Copenhagen vs Chelsea in the Noddy League has been simply appalling. Just terrible football. Neithe side have any skill to attack the other. Surely, the second half will have an attempt on goal...

The best way to securing peace in Ukraine would be to bully the victim in the style of a Mafia protection racket with threats of extreme violence. Not my idea, the idea of Don Trump.

Short-eared Owl [black & white]

I see Rugby League went to Las Vegas at the weekend. I hope it was a good match, with plenty of action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2cm...

I joined the owl fanciers south of Spalding, Lincs this afternoon. At least five Short-eared Owls and a Barn Owl hanging out in the fields with cylindrical hay bails. #UKBirding

Trump, in his well rehearsed attack on Zelensky (with his fascist XL Bully Vance) isn't even pretending any more that he is not allied with Putin; just like he is allied with Orban, with Netanyahu, with all the evil ones.

What extreme atrocity is Trump trying to distract us from while we all talk about the bizarre Trump Gaza video dead cat?
