WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2019

I presume that is not a common sight there, here they are often seen together.

 

Not much to see at Portland Bill despite four hours of walking around in the cold.
Female Black Redstart.


Kestrel.


Distant Gannet.

 

@shiney male and female Jays are similar so difficult to determine but the plumage may vary slightly.

 

They are not all that common here, this is the first I have seen in years, let alone swimming with geese.

 

My trail camera shows we have several possums roaming around the property each night. As you can see, spring comes late to upstate New York.

 

One of hundreds of Black Tailed Godwits in full summer plumage, should have been migrating North by now to breed but are still here.

 

A few hours on Brownsea Island.
Greenshank.

Mediterranean Gull (with a real blackhead) right and Black headed Gull.

Distant (uncommon) Common Redstart establishing it's territory in Wareham Forest.

 

Spotted Sandpiper, range, Alaska, Canada to central U.S.

 

Looks like our Common Sandpiper but with spots, it is a occasional vagrant here.
The American Lesser Yellowlegs is still here in it's eighth month.
