@atlanticbirding.bsky.social has set the alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay as #Faraway: where the scene makes up most of the shot. so here's a swift against the clouds, shelducks against the rolling Irish Sea, and a Little Egret in the marshes.

Hi, enjoyed the blogs. There was another possible pallid, spotted on Douglas Bank at HOM, and the timings meant it had to be different to the Marshside pallid. This could have been the Belmont pallid - photos not good enough. So we’ve had a minimum of 3 ! Croston one flew over my head.

#BirdOfTheDay is #Branched, birds on thin branches.
The Alt theme is #Grounded, birds standing on the ground. From this morning at Marshside, Southport, a pretty European wren on a branch and a flock of oyster catchers on some very wet ground.

#BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Brown, any bird with a brown background. A little egret flying across brown marsh grasses in Southport, and a tree creeper doing its best to hide against the bark of a tree.

Same, I love watching them. They all land at RSPB Marshside, and on the golf course opposite. There were a couple of them just waddling along the pavement not so long ago! 😂

My latest blog is live! This one features trips to RSPB Minsmere and then RSPB Marshside with Kev Heath, ticking a lifer (red-eyed vireo) and dipping a pallid harrier.

First visit to RSPB Marshside with Kev Heath yesterday, hoping for pallid harrier - dipped! Still a great day, with marsh harriers, buzzard, sparrowhawk, kestrel, female merlin, and short-eared owl @birdguides.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social.

From photos, apparently a different bird to the Marshside bird. Not that I've seen either, I'm in Portugal.

Cracking morning Carl. Photo has been posted showing big underwing differences between the Belmont and Marshside birds. Curiouser and curiouser

I'd say so Andy, plumage patterns seem identical, and Marshside bird has been missing since this has been here.

My friend Danny, who is a fairly new birder, took these while birding on the GM/Lancs border near Belmont early afternoon today. An amazing find for him, juvenile Pallid Harrier only 6 days after we watched the Marshside one together. Likely the same bird. #ukbirding #birds

Twitchers were flocking in big numbers at my nearby RSPB site, Marshside
Drove past the assembled ranks and thought, 'something's up'
Had to meet my wife so carried on south
Then a bird flew past me and I immediately knew it was something I hadn't seen before - turns out it's a Pallid Harrier!
