Well, Dyers Rd is better than Breezes Rd for pulling over in terms of the amount of birds.
133 birds on my life list since 17 June 2020, latest bird Common Tern.
93 birds on my 2024 year list as of 6:50pm 13 January, latest bird Indian Peafowl.

Here's the best I could get from a couple of hundred shots.

Re: White-winged black tern, Bromley WTP
any pics of the reported Northern Shoveler? And remember that a UBR is needed. There hasn't been one there for a while so great that one is back!

The Northern Shoveler isn't as important to me as the White-winged Black Tern; I already saw one in Pegasus last year.
However the Northern Shoveler can be reported, contrary to the fact that the White-winged Black Tern can only be reported if it's breeding.

Distant shot of the northern shoveler. Will submit a UBR so it is in the official record.

Good job. Even though these have become fairly common place, like the Gull-billed Terns they'll be gone and just memories soon so really important to keep recording them and to document any that (unlike this one but like that WW Bl Tern) change over to a Southern Hemisphere moult cycle. cheers.

WWBT present today hawking all by itself over pond 2a. Very distant and only had a 400mm on me but a few record shots massively cropped.
