Amazing start to August for me with a productive 1.5 hour visit to Beer Head this morning. A proper autumn flurry with singles of Pied and Spotted Fly, Lesser and Common Whitethroat, Wheatear and Sedge Warbler and 22+ Willow Warblers. Absolutely loved it! #autumn #ukbirding

It’s begun, 2 Wheatear a welcome sight on Beer Head this morning #Beerhead #patch

They are quite a regular visitor to gardens in Underleys in Beer, feeding on dandelion seeds, but I guess that’s more expected as on the edge of Countryside

Yes please Pete 👍
