RT @hvangasteren: Hi UK, here they come! Huge start of bird migration from the Waddensea westwards. Currently an bird migration traffic rat…

Black-tailed Godwit L//R+GL today at Itchenor #chichesterharbour ringed by @PetePotts7 at Farlington in September 2008, seen nearly 100 times since!

The dragonfly season hasn’t quite finished…Willow Emerald egg-laying at @RSPBPulborough this afternoon using Oak, Soft Rush and Sallow @BDSdragonflies

Couple of pics of yesterday’s Black Stork

@BirdGuides @SelseyBirder Black stork just gone SE over Kithurst hill car park, W Sussex

This was a lovely listen, recommended for all seabird enthusiasts

Quite a while since I’ve seen a live Smoothhound (pretty sure this is what the GB had pulled out of water), and sadly this one didn’t last long 😬

Whoa spider on spider! watched a beautiful Marpissa muscosa this evening, hunting around the window of a bird hide @RSPBPulborough and saw it catch and eat another spider, perhaps a Zygiella 🕷️@BritishSpiders

Green-eyed Hawkers at Chichester canal this afternoon, many dozens, probably hundreds present.

Four-spotted Chaser appreciation post @BDSdragonflies

RT @WUTangKids: Had no idea USA had a cricket team

Pholcus doing what they do - that is, eating another spider probably several times its own weight. Even with 7.5 legs, impressive predators. @BritishSpiders

Slo-mo Swifts 😍

@birdingbods @_BTO I didn’t think so either but apparently they can double brood, it’s just rare. Be interesting to see if this new nest is successful.

@PetePotts7 @amythebirder @titchfieldhaven Lovely stuff! Was it a failed breeder perhaps or just unpaired and looking for a mate?

The tiny but very cute Zilla diodia 🕷️on the edge of the heath @RSPBPulborough yesterday
