2nd January 2023: Blog 2 of 2-Warblington and Farlington Marshes

Following on from my previous post, we then repeated another thing we did early last year and went to Warblington to look for Cattle Egrets. With Little Egrets in a sun kissed field we did manage to see a couple of these cute exotic birds, and it was an honour to watch them in the golden sunlight. Another sensational birdwatching experience today and this year. I took the first picture in this photoset of a Cattle Egret. We had the bonus of another year tick in the form of a good one to get under the belt in a year here as we don’t see them too often when we saw a Stock Dove fly into the tree I got the record shot in the third picture in this photoset of it. Stock Dove has become one we’ve seen a lot early in years lately pleasingly. It was also good to see Kestrel I believe flying up near the church and as I did on the journey there a sizable moon out which looked beautiful I took the second picture in this photoset of this.

We saw some brilliant birds at Farlington this afternoon/evening; with Pheasant, Linnet and Meadow Pipit pleasing year ticks. More gloss was added to the day by some smashing White-fronted Geese in the grass and a giant Marsh Harrier soaring over the marshes seeing it at dusk too. Always a top bird to see.

The main purpose at Farlington really was to try and see if we could see the Short-eared Owls again after seeing them nearly a month ago here. They were sighted before we arrived earlier in the day today and after a wait we saw one sat on a mound in the grass. A thrilling and fantastic moment getting cracking views of this regal species, a second special owl species seen today and what a day I have had for birds of prey which I am so pleased with. I was so amazed to see the Short-eared Owl at this brilliant reserve where this bird is one of the stars and it was sweet icing on the cake of a phenomenal second day’s birding of 2023. I am on 76 species seen now for the year my highest ever after two days ahead of what my highest totaled year list overall 2022 was on by four at this stage to be three quarters of the way to 100 in two days is something I am so pleased with.

Gorse in flower, teasel and dock seed heads and gone over rock samphire I believe were floral highlights at Farlington. It was also breathtaking to watch the sun set over the Spinnaker pinnacled Portsmouth skyline, after taking in stunning views of rich reedbed, grass and divine blue water at a muddy and wet reserve here too in gorgeous sunshine this afternoon, with the growing moon present throughout the walk looking crisp and powerful as darkness fell I took the eighth picture in this photoset of the moon. Seeing moonlit and lit by sunset colours on the water was magical. I took the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth and tenth pictures in this photoset of views here today. Being in/around two cities both Southampton and Portsmouth to watch wildlife today was interesting. It was so good to see lots of fellow nature/photography lovers we knew as loads enjoyed the owl. What a day! Part 1 of today’s posts is here: https://dansnaturepictures.tumblr.com/post/705366495043158016/2nd-january-2023-blog-1-of-2-woolston-weston 

Wildlife Sightings Summary for Farlington Marshes: My first of two of my favourite birds the Marsh Harrier and Short-eared Owl this year, my first Pheasant, Linnet, Meadow Pipit and White-fronted Goose of the year, my first Rabbits of the year, another of my favourite birds the Brent Goose seen again today, Mallard, Wigeon, Teal, Shoveler, Canada Goose, Barnacle Goose, the white goose here, Moorhen, I seem to recall Grey Heron today and think it was here but it might have been at Titchfield where we were earlier in the day, Herring Gull, Lapwing, Curlew seen well, possible Dunlin late on, Carrion Crow and Magpie including flying late on as it was getting dark which looked nice, probable Robin and an insect.

New World Record!

A month or two ago speedrun.com split what used to be the pre-1.9 category into two categories.  1.8 which uses trading strats with the world record being Nieuh’s 15:54.  And pre 1.8 which uses tower strats, the world record of which was Spinnaker’s 17:35.  The world record for pre 1.8 was just broken by Teddiursa, with a new time of 17:02!  Here is the video, congrats to them.

He told me I’m so pretty that I need to be mounted all over Portsmouth

He told me he was bigger than the Spinnaker tower.

Portsmouth Spinnaker by Tony Via Flickr: The iconic Spinnaker Tower is a 170-metre (560 ft) landmark observation tower in Portsmouth, England. It is the centrepiece of the redevelopment of Portsmouth Harbour, which was supported by a National Lottery grant. The tower's design was chosen by Portsmouth residents from a selection of three different designs in a 1998 public poll. It has three viewing platforms one on top of the other at heights of 100 m, 105 m and 110 m.

I think it’s cause of the burj khalifa and the spinnaker tower being similar shapes but honestly 😭😭😭💀

07/01/2024-Lakeside, Southsea, Weston Shore and home

Photos taken in this set are of; views, rose hips and wild carrot on a walk at Lakeside this morning, a dazzling Kingfisher on the walk too I'm familiar with seeing them on this date as today is my birthday and I've seen this one of my very favourite birds on my birthday five times now which is always special, yarrow, views at Southsea including looking towards the Spinnaker Tower and the sun shining through a bush, a fabulous Fox in the bright sunshine that walked around the area behind the barriers where the sea defence work which was a glorious sight and Carrion Crows in an interesting feeding frenzy to witness at Weston Shore this evening.

I was also thrilled to see the Black Redstart at Southsea Castle again after seeing it in December, my first of the year to take my year list to a pleasing 76 to end an extraordinary, packed and brilliant week off of birds, mammals, flowers, fungi and more with many fantastic places visited. I have a great personal bond with Black Redstart seeing my first on the building site for the development our house is on in 2010, it's twice been the species to (at the time) make my year list my joint highest ever, once making my year list (at the time) my highest ever and being the final species of my current highest ever year list 2023, now I can say I saw one on my birthday too. Other highlights at Lakeside were stunning views of Great Crested Grebes and Tufted Ducks, a great Redwing and Wren view, Woodpigeon, ivy, hazel catkins, pretty cuckoo-pint leaf and mistletoe. At Southsea gorgeous views of Brent Geese on the green, Herring Gull, Carrion Crow, Starling, Wren, daisy, gorse and milk or sowthistle stood out too with Herring Gull and Black-headed Gull also seen at Weston Shore. Magpie was nice to see from home today.
