Today I gone up Titchfield Haven and I seen a garganey. A garganey is a duck. Other ducks include mallards and other mallards. A garganey is not a mallard. But it is a duck.
Garganey
Gargan-again
I seen a bunch of other stuff too. Here it is innit.
Common Tern
Kestrel
Wigeon
Turnstones
Trouser-Press Finch
Sparrowhawk. Thanks to Earlyworm Birder for pointing out that this sparrowhawk is actually a hobby.
Reed bunting
Rat Bird
Linnet
Kettle Hawk
Egg (Debirded)
Common tern again
Black-headed gulls attacking a lesser black-backed gull. Because, like all birds, they are evil racists.
Black-headed gull chick
Another common tern
Bar-tailed godwit
Yet another common tern; showing why they are called “common”
I also got a decent bit of sign spotting done. Sign spotting is brilliant. It’s took me 383 days to get to 129 species in conventional bird seening. With sign spotting I am on 90 species after just 7 days. And I don’t even need to be able to identify the birds myself, because it says their names right next to the pictures.
