Thanks Alex, I messaged him as soon as the adrenaline died down π
Goldcrest sitting still for a brief moment at Blashford Lakes yesterday. Also Pintail, Goldeneye, Goosander, Green Sandpiper, Marsh Harrier, and Sparrowhawk #HantsBirds
As I saw a raptor circle a patch of woodland yesterday I instinctively thought buzzard but something was off. Lifting my camera I thought, perhaps a Goshawk stretching its legs? Then it dawned on me I was watching a Hen Harrier (f) wheeling around. Wonβt forget that in a hurry! #HantsBirds

Finishing my second year of birding with a UK list of 187 (48 added this year). Some incredible moments. Iβve also realised Iβve managed to see a lifer every month since I started - a streak that I imagine isnβt going to last for much longer! Hereβs to seeing a Lesser Whitethroat in 2026! π€
Left the team on 83 species at midday for the Grimley Winter All Dayer. My best: Pintail, Goldeneye, Shelduck, Raven, Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Red Kite, Fieldfare, Redwing #WorcsBirds
