Your bird of the day/week!

[Goldmaxx]

Had 2 to pick from today, this morning saw my first Goldcrest at Burtonmere and this afternoon my first Short Eared Owl :-) on Burton Marshes

Good work Goldmaxx, I had a look for SEO's this evening but didn't see any.

My bird of the day is a yellow-browed warbler that was behaving like a flycatcher at Chew Valley Lake. I didn't get great view but could clearly see its brow when the sunlight caught it occasionally. A lifer for me.

Also an unseasonal female garganey on the lake was new for the year, and earlier I'd seen a black redstart in Portishead so I'm on 92 now.

Hi there. I'm new on here and tend to be restricted to the west lancs area and coast, but I'm reading great things about Burton Marshes. I assume these are somewhere on the Cheshire side of the Dee, but can you point me in the right direction please?

Maybe I will just head up to Scotland for a Crested Tit then we can keep all of our specialities Mike! Love the pic!

No joy with the LSW Ruth, but seen quite a lot and managed some nice shots of Jay and Ring-necked Parakeets. Will post some tomorrow.

As promised, I have just uploaded 11 images from my trip. You can view them all in my latest album, DM Birds 4

More than a little envious of that trip Dennis. Good work!

Thanks, Peter. It was a pretty special day and one of my favourite birding trips to date.
