The lesser white fronted goose has always been very rare in the UK, but how about a whole flock of them? Saw eight from the Swedish reintroduction programme at Wild Ken Hill on Saturday!

Merlin at RSPB Greylake today. Even knowing what was going to happen, I just froze when I saw it. Also, a water rail 3m away from the hide, lots of snipes, and some really angry crows @Natures_Voice

@jonnam318 @ChrisGi99428237 I'd say LWFG without a doubt

RT @ProtectTheWild_: Look at these amazing creatures—yet people still kill them for sport! Sign our petition for a proper ban on hunting…

Recently I was at El Hondo when a cute little fox sat down nearby and attended me for 10 mins. Can't believe that these beautiful animals are tortured to death with a pack of hounds every year in the UK. This is a sickening, disgusting practice which must be made illegal

@WayneGlossop2 @BirdGuides That light looks unbelievably, unnaturally bright. You twitchers could have permanently damaged the owl's vision like that, not even talking about disturbing it. Are you proud of yourself?

@GellAndy @WayneGlossop2 @BirdGuides 👍👍

@RobRackliffe Stop disturbing wildlife. If I got unlucky and I was on my bike when a torch got shone in my face like that, I'd crash. This is not birdwatching, this is birdscaring

@nature_michelle @Mark_Vidler84 Shining a light like that in my face at night might cause temporary blindness, possibly followed by a high-speed bike crash. I hope it has moved to private land now

@bonser_rich Stop disturbing the owl

Will whoever took these STOP disturbing the bird?!

For those people shining torches at a rare scops owl in Kent, please stop and leave the bird alone. If you have any respect for the owl, you will either leave it alone or observe it during the day @RareBirdAlertUK

@SmalePerry @SimonWest26 @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides Shining a light at this poor owl is the same as throwing rocks at eagles in attempt to get them to fly

Yesterday, I witnessed a 'bird guide' lead 2 birders to trespass in the restricted area of El Hondo National Park. They did the same thing on the 21st, were caught, and warned not do do it again. Presumably, to see spotted eagles. This behaviour is NOT acceptable.

Two male hen harriers seen at Roydon Common this afternoon, and a female merlin that for once wasn't a dot in the distance. Lots of red kites as well @NorfolkWT

Today at the Cottenham site I did indeed see the burgomaster gull in low flight, but my camera's auto-focus failed me. Instead, I saw red kites and the monstrous great black-backed gulls (my first-ever photos), and also a MASSIVE starling murmuration!! @CambsBirdClub

@Laziobirder @CambsBirdClub Same place? I'm honestly amazed it did not disappear in the windstorm

RT @LandguardNot: It would be great if all the conservationists/naturalists or just folk in the know, could get behind our 2 hectare heathl…

End of term sees my return to birdwatching. 3 short-eared owls, 1 barn owl, 1 long-eared owl and a red kite roost at Eldernell @CambsBirdClub
