A Red Kite from underneath holding flesh in its talons and looking down at it
Look at the face! 😍
I was thrilled to get this shot of a gorgeous Red Kite today near Steart Marshes in Somerset! 😀
It was holding the flesh of some creature in its talons and was eating it as it flew right over my head! 😮
Zoom in and just Look at the face! 😍🐦

Buzzard on rocks at ‘the bubble’, Shaft Rocks, Severn Beach this morning and was still there 40 mins later, but had moved to post @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social
At Severn Beach today male eclipse Wigeon, Blackcap (can’t tell if it’s male or female but I suspect female) 2 male Stonechats and, I think a male Reed Bunting. Also 6 Little Egrets with 2 Grey Herons, 3 Wheatears, 9 Turnstones with 2 Ringed Plovers
A Grey Plover at Severn Beach this morning and the Turnstones were on Shaft Beach again. @severnsidebirds.bsky.social @bristolbirding.bsky.social
Spotted Flycatcher at pipes end of Severn Beach, Wheatear and Little Egret on Severn Beach salt marsh and my first Turnstones of the autumn at Shaft Beach roost - approx 20 of them.

A Curlew Sandpiper behind the Dunlin and a possible half-hidden CS at New Passage - please correct me if I’m wrong!
Thanks Paul, I’ll keep my eyes open for them in the future
Thank you!
@severnsidebirds.bsky.social is this a Whinchat? I have never seen one before. It was on the rocks at New Passage this morning with a Wheatear. I thought it was a strange juvenile Wheatear until I looked at it properly at home!
My first Wheatear of the autumn Severn Beach
Heron
Love the sounds of the estuary on a quiet autumn morning - wigeon, redshank, curlew and of course, the Canada Geese - New Passage
