Six Barnacle Geese flying right to left against a grey sky
Into first week of our third year in Portsoy and still some "easy" patch ticks to be had; Barnacle Geese, yeserday, among post-Amy movement into Moray Firth. Also 10 Whoopers and an AπΊπ΅π©πΊπ’ (that would've been #patchtick if ID nailed).

A Treecreeper on a gorse stem
We're approaching two years in Portsoy and low-hanging fruits still fall from the #patchtick tree. Today's Treecreeper was among a roving tit flock. It tried its luck on a telegraph pole and then moved on to gorse stems.

Heath Rustic and ππͺπ°π³πΊπ€π΅π³πͺπ’ π’π£πͺπ¦π΅π¦πππ’ were both NFG after a quieter start to August. Enjoyed a #patchtick fly-over Green Sandpiper while emptying trap.

Common Sandpiper flying left with sea out of focus in background.
Juvenile Wheatear, facing away, atop of lichen encrusted rock.
Patch-birding waking up after summer doledrums. In recent days, Crossbill and Raven over garden, Whimbrel and juv Wheatear along shore, first Common Terns of year and, today, waders included 9 Common Sandpipers. Best of all was a 1-minute visit of a #patchtick Sanderling.

Drake Common Scoter swimming around on the River Mersey below Forrest Way overbridge, Sankey Bridges, Warrington just now. Excellent suggestion by @liamlangley1.bsky.social to check the river. Literally the first bird I saw when I got out the car! #SankeyValley #PatchBirding #PatchTick

A nice biscuit-brown juvenile Glaucous Gull stood side on (facing right) in stubble, with a dozen or so Black-headed Gulls scattered around.
Slightly distance pic of a 3rd-winter Lesser Black-backed Gull on a ploughed area with a few Common and Herring Gulls. Stubble in background.
It's all about the gulls at Portsoy with thousands coming and going. Today's highlight a lovely biscuity juv. Glaucous - #PatchTick (found y'day by David Capon).
On Sunday, a 4cy Lesser Black-back (only saw 3 all last year).
11 gull species in 10 days here- brilliant!

A rather fuzzy pic of gulls feeding in stubble - most are adult Herrings Gulls but some immatures include one with strikingly white head, slender bill, long primries and other features consistent with 1st-winter Caspian Gull.
A rather fuzzy pic of gulls feeding in stubble - most are adult Herrings Gulls but an immature seperate from the group has a strikingly white head, slender bill, and paler scapulars than coverts, consistent with 1st-winter Caspian Gull.
A seething mass of gulls roaming stubble fields west of Portsoy yielded an apparent Caspian Gull. #Patchtick and NE Scotland tick if accepted (just 4 or 5 regional records). 54 species for #PWC2025 year list.
Thanks to Paul Baxter for swift encouragement regarding ID.

A dream patch find this morning on my urban Oxford patch, with the second Marsh Tit in 6 years completely eclipsed by a #patchtick Yellow-browed Warbler! With a decent bit of vizmig, 43 species is also my highest total of the year so far: ebird.org/checklist/S1...
