A few shots from the pop up event organised by @EssexBirdNews and @BirdAwareEssex this week. Med gulls, Rock Pipit, Turnstones, and a Shag at the end of Southend Pier was an unexpected treat! 😀

Had a🚶around Brightlingsea this morning. Nice to see Yellowhammer, and had this Sparrowhawk fly right past me too. Then back to Colchester for a cracking Firecrest - thanks to @simonpatient1. @EssexBirdNews

With @EssexBirdNews Big County Birdwatch upon us, I managed to get a couple of hours in at Mersea this evening. Had a nice showy Corn Bunting and several Stonechat as the best of 30 species seen. #BCBW

Having never seen them before, to have the northern lights visible in Essex last night, was quite something. Mersea Island.

News received already regarding the Sandwich Tern I reported earlier. ‘368’ was ringed as a chick on 04/07/24 at RSPB Langstone Harbour in Hampshire. Mine is the first report received. Nice @Natures_Voice

Nothing new from a brief visit to Mersea and Fingringhoe this morning. Easterly winds over night and into tomorrow could be interesting though.

Snuck into Suffolk after failing to find the Red Backed Shrike in Essex this morning ☹️. Suffolk was kinder to me with Curlew Sand and 3 Whinchat. @Natures_Voice
