It was @webs-gsmp.bsky.social count day on the Fleet today. Gutted that the 30+ Greylags didn’t appear in my Rodden to Shipmoor sector. Surely a reserve record. My best was heard only Brambling. In Swannery sector @joestockwell.bsky.social had r-t Hen Harrier, ♂ Scaup, 5 Great & 234 Cattle Egrets.

Nice to find the site's first #GreatNorthernDiver of the autumn 🍁 distantly off the Point at S Devon's #HopesNose this morning. A true harbinger of the advancing season. Yesterday's Cetti's Warbler still present but elusively calling from deep scrub. #UKBirding #DevonBirds @birdtrack.bsky.social

Well that wasn't on my bingo card for this morning - a fab' Radde's Warbler caught by @narwhalsh.bsky.social & the hardworking local ringing group at the end of my street on Lytchett Heath! A characterful 1st for the Poole Harbour recording area @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
Side view of an olive-brown Radde's Warbler, facing right as it is held in a ringer's hand. The bird's stubby, Great Tit-esque, bill and long yellowish supercilium are obvious. The blue ringer's coat and blurred heathland vegetation can be seen in the background. Front view of an olive-brown Radde's Warbler, facing slightly right as it is held in a ringer's hand.
