Today we saw a lifer!
My phone alerted me to some new arrivals so we headed up to a farmers field near Lessingham, north Norfolk. Perched on the power cables were 13 European Bee-Eaters!
Excuse the photo quality they were at quite a range from the road.

Saw something today I've never seen before! A Western screech owl tucked away in their little cactus home! So pleased I was able to get a couple decent photos of it.

Eye level foraging, instead of in its usual neck-ache-inducing leafy realm, gave us some nice views of this Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher.

Sometimes you find yourself standing in a woodland pleading with a tiny bird to come out of hiding for just a few seconds
Some not-so-good views of the Iberian Chiffchaff yesterday, it certainly liked to hop about a lot!

On Sunday we visited our local RSPB site, Strumpshaw Fen.
Becky spotted a leucistic male Pheasant! We’d never seen one before, it was roaming in the horse paddocks next to the site.

Checking in on the youngest local Tawny Frogmouth. Haven't seen the parents around as much lately as would be normal but hopefully the kid getting nicely chonky is a sign they're still both around and involved.

If you are looking for a distraction, or just wholesome anecdotes derailing the entirety of our first bluebird experience, the thread is below. I hope to make a similar thread this year. Last year was a success, but very disjointed and poorly documented.

Here's some GREAT news: the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched on Valentine's Day! Kākāpō are nocturnal, flightless parrots that are endemic to New Zealand and are critically endangered. Only 236 adult kākāpō are alive today, so every chick is a milestone for the species!
