Glad to say that the robins have all fledged. Mum and dad robin are busy flying around finding food. I waited until they fledged before taking a look at the nest. They won't reuse it but hopefully will nest again this year nearby following their success. #nature #ukbirds

First swallow sighting of the year for me. #birding #ukBirds

Every Wednesday at 10.30am Rodney will do an emergency stop to test his brakes. He’s a very responsible marsh harrier.

Interacting with the neighbours.

Watch and listen the female kingfisher calling down on Hackney Marshes on the River Lea.

Another blurry phone video from yesterday This time of a pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) 'scything' the low-water pools for food, a behaviour unique to the avocets #birdsoftheworld #UKbirds #birds #Kent #England #UK

I didn't mention that it was quite windy on my trip to Oare Marshes Nature Reserve yesterday. It didn't seem to bother this ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres) though #birdsoftheworld #UKbirds #birds #Kent #England #UK

I managed to get out to the Oare Marshes nature reserve for the first time in years this lunchtime! I was rewarded by my first sight of a great egret (Ardea alba) which used to be a rare sighting in the UK prior to 2012 (when they first began breeding here) #birdsoftheworld #UKbirds #birds #Kent #UK

Very pleased with this review of my book by the British Association of Nature Conservationists www.ecos.org.uk/of-the-trees... Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Birds and Trees are brilliant, together they are so much more.

From my observations this morning, I would say that crows are a peacemaker within the bird community.

As pale morph Booted Eagles seem to be popular at the minute, with a bird in cornwall garnering lots of attention, here's one I filmed last spring in its natural range. Beautiful #birds

Just found myself driving into a huge murmuration of Starlings. Stopped first, obv., and grabbed my phone. The bloody thing focused on the heating filaments in the windscreen rather than birds though. #ukBirds #birds

Morning all. It’s Friday and the Masters is on at Ally Pally, so how about a game of bird snooker? xx
