Took my opportunity with the incredibly tame Lapland Bunting at Staines Reservoir on Friday morning. Just us and 2 others enjoyed sensational views of the bird. #ukbirding @birdguides.bsky.social #surreybirds

Hot but very enjoyable day guiding at Thursley Common, Surrey where there were stacks of insects and the highlight bird was a WOOD SANDPIPER found by @esbr-essex.bsky.social #BirdsSeenIn2026 #surreybirds #birds #birding #ukbirding @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @tonyrinaud.bsky.social

Chiffchaff nest-building at Stoke this morning. Otherwise pretty quiet in the wind; one Whitethroat, no sound from any Sedge Warblers, though I know they are back. #ukbirding #surreybirds

It's brown, it's drab, it's distant, but joy was unconfined when I finally managed to see the Little Bunting at Prews Farm, on my 6th attempt. #surreybirds #ukbirding

They are common enough locally, but we don't often see Parakeets on the feeders, so I thought this smart male was worth a photo. #SurreyBirds #BirdingUK

Not the most impressive BirdTrack annual wrap, but steady coverage of local sites, and always good to have room for improvement..... #surreybirds

No scarce buntings today, but the flocks at Prews Farm are truly extraordinary. Perhaps 1000 Linnets today, with many hundred Chaffinches, and smaller numbers of Reed Buntings, Yellowhammers and Bramblings. #UKBirding #SurreyBirds

New bird for me at Stoke today - sadly not a Smew but a leucistic Coot! #ukbirding #surreybirds

But some cringeworthy omissions too: Common Sand, Lesser Whitethroat, Spotted Fly, LRP, Little Owl. And that pesky Bearded Tit. 2/2. #BirdingUK #SurreyBirds

I somehow didn't manage to see a Peregrine on my patch this year; however that was rectified at the last minute by a visit to Guildford Cathedral today. #ukbirding #surreybirds

Fantastic to see this lovely pair of Garganey at Stoke Lake today.
Always a tricky one to get, but better when a few miles away from home.
