As migration picks up, it’s worth noting that for accuracy, we’re making the distinction between birds seen at Ivinghoe Beacon & Steps Hill wherever possible. The two sites are neatly divided by a minor road. The Ring Ouzels & Redstart have frequented the fields SE of the beacon.

Busy morning so far! Black Redstart at Tattenhoe. Sand Martin at Marlow. Pintails at Willen & Foxcote. Med Gull at Leckhampstead Wharf. And a co-ordinated site count for Great White Egret has turned up at least 10 individuals so far. Great stuff! #bucksbirdnews

With our breeding Redshank population having recently shrunk to the odd pair at College Lake, it’s brilliant to report successful breeding from Gallows Bridge (at least one chick). Thanks Tim 👍 #bucksbirdnews
