    The only photo I took during Saturday's All-dayer was of a female Beautiful Demoiselle, see attached. This, and a male Banded Demoiselle, were my first Odonata of the year

    That, of course, should be waders rather than 'wafers' 🤦

    Not that it compares with Sandwich Tern or Mandarin, but another new darvic-ringed BHG was present on the Flashes today. It is a Belvide-ringed bird - 29F8 - red ring, white writing. I'm awaiting feedback from the scheme co-ordinator but in the meantime, have a picture.

    24H0 was ringed in the nest on 10/6/13 at Cerney Wick in Cotswold Water Park. It has appeared at Upton in 8 of 10 years from 2015; the years it was not seen being 2016 and 2021 (covid restricted viewing). It bred successfully at Upton in 2019 and probably did so last year. In all 24H0 had been...

    There have been one or two such birds noted over the last 5-6 years (and probably before that?). The underpart colouring has varied from peach to pale pink, with some more obvious ones as shown in your photos.

    Fairly quiet yesterday afternoon at a sunny but chilly Moors Pool. Eight Avocets around Amy's/east island, disturbed from Flashes, I'm advised, by a gunshot from beyond the third flash earlier in the afternoon. Other waders present were: Oystercatcher (2), Curlew (3+) & Lapwing (3), all seen...

    This afternoon I caught up with the first Avocet for the year at #uptonwarren, with two Chiffchaffs there also nfy. An overflying Collared Dove was new for my Upton year-list. Finally, a new darvic-flagged Curlew for the reserve, yellow Y5, joined seven others for the best count of the year so far.
