Time to move.

I was getting too close to this lesser yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) so it decided to move.

"Lesser Yellowlegs are known for their steadfast defense of their eggs and chicks. Biologist William Rowan once noted, “they will be perched there as though the safety of the entire universe depended on the amount of noise they made.” - allaboutbirds.org

05/06/23 Spring Bird Count

Yesterday’s Spring Bird Count was the best I’ve experienced since first joining up almost 10 years ago! I had two lifers on this count (i.e., birds I’ve never seen before): Smith’s Longspur and Short-Billed Dowitcher. We had good warbler species and got some great shorebird species, which is a demographic we usually have a hard time getting in our territories.

Anyway, species pictured:

1. Least Sandpiper 2. Lesser Yellowlegs 3. Semipalmated Plover 4. Smith’s Longspur 5. Eastern Towhee 6. Eastern Meadowlark 7. Guineafowl (not included in the count) 8. Brown Earth Snake (not included in the count)

18/07/2022-Lesser Yellowlegs and more at Lymington and bits from home

I had my day off today earmarked for photo processing and uploading and blog posting from the weekend away at the Bird Fair and Norfolk, but did hope to get in a walk too. In the end we decided to have a brief time in this heat looking for a rare bird that had turned up whilst we were away this morning, the Lesser Yellowlegs on Lymington’s Normandy lagoon. Fittingly bringing us to the sea today.

After scanning through groups of Redshanks and Greenshank on a walk all the way around the lagoon, and with the kind help of others we saw this smartly marked and exciting bird. It was a great one to see and I was very happy to see it and watch it for a little bit. I took the eighth picture in this photoset a record shot with my bridge camera of it with Redshank and Dunlin. Another top bird to see this weekend and this year, it follows the similar sounding named Yellow-legged Gull onto my year list which entertains me and is a massive milestone bird as my 190th species of 2022. I cannot believe I am writing this in July, it’s real memorable territory for my year lists now levellng my 2017 total to be my joint fourth highest ever bird year list now. In the only four times in past years I’ve reached 190 or more birds seen the earliest I ever reached this milestone before was October. So I’m still way ahead with how many birds I have seen when comparing to past years.

Also of note for birds here were Avocets with an adorable chick seen, Little Terns including diving which is always nice to see, one of my favourite birds the Little Egret, Grey Heron looking tall and prominent in the mudflats, Canada Goose including wandering along the path which was great to see, Black-headed Gull and Great Black-backed Gull seen well, Black-tailed Godwit, Oystercatcher, Jackdaw, Swallow, stunning looking Linnets including really crimson looking ones, Rock Pipit I believe, Stonechat, Wren at the end before leaving which was nice and Reed Warbler and Whitethroat seen really well warblers that almost looked nicely in place on a very hot day.

There were a lot of butterflies out aptly for this summer’s day with Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown, Small Skipper and a fair few oceanic looking Common Blues. In a Big Butterfly Count conducted here I saw four Common Blue, ten Gatekeeper, six Meadow Brown and a Small White. So nice to see them dancing through the grass, its the first Common Blues I’ve seen during a Big Butterfly Count this year leaving very little target species of this I’m yet to see in one.

Key flowers I saw today here were my first pretty purple sea aster or it may have been Michaelmas daisy this year I took the seventh picture in this photoset of this, lots of yellow ragwort painting the landscape well, dock and a fair bit of wild carrot. It was pretty to see the sparkling lagoon and sea water and rich dark summer green vegetation and nice meadow, with the brown grass telling of the weather and time of year. I took the first, fourth, fifth and sixth pictures in this photoset of views here today, It was good to get into the New Forest again today it feels as though it’s been a while since I’ve been.

Late last night at home I liked seeing tube-dwelling spider I believe as shown in the third picture in this photoset outside, another spider possibly noble false widow as the second picture in this photoset shows, a lovely Double-striped Pug moth in my room one a species I saw in the house earlier this year. Large White seen on the buddleia bush out the front early this morning as I also took in all the green around being up early to process the photos from the weekend was nice, and as well as sunny scenes enjoyed throughout the day I liked seeing another spider in my room, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Starling and Collared Dove and a bee in the house. I took the final two pictures in this photoset of the pretty osteospermum the lovely purple flowers on the balcony still going strong one of a few nice flowers seen from home today and bright green leaved trees out the front on a hot and sunny day. I also saw my first ever Beautiful plume moth in the house tonight I do like the plumes and another nice new moth lately, windows being open whilst dark has accelerated my moth season a bit during the heatwave this usually comes about in August when the nights draw in a bit with a lot coming into the house generally.
