l had the best sighting yesterday of a sea eagle,closest i've ever been to one ,about 60 feet . we were working on the mainland across from the isle of mull and it flew across a recently felled forest .my mate was speechless (for once) ,he too reckoned it was the closest he'd been to one as well. first thing we noticed was the size ,it was huge!!. seen it again perched on a radio mast above the lihnne loch .....unforgetable!!!

I have just looked out of my bedroom window and below the feeder station was a Brambling. Only the 2nd time I have seen one in my garden.

I've just been down the garden - and seen a bird I never thought I'd see there, a kingfisher! It swooped into the garden from the stream at the bottom and perched briefly on a branch that overhangs the pond. Didn't manage to photograph it - light too poor - but I'm thrilled to see one here!

Was driving with a friend through the Pevensey Marshes today and a purple heron flew over the road and landed in the reed beds!!! Unmistakable and my friend not being into birds couldn't work out why I was so excited - so I tried to explain to her but... Seen them a few times in the past around there

This little beauty arrived yesterday under my bedroom window at 07:45am. Today I got home just after 17:30 and went in the bedroom to change out of my work clothes. I decided to look out of the window and there was the Brambling again.

Unfortunately at that time of day the light was fading fast, plus it was taken through a window and at an angle. Also the curtain was throwing a reflection across the window, all of which was not conducive to good photography.

Thankfully it was still there when I grabbed my camera from the living room and I managed a few shots before it flew off.

This is very late, but this Great Spotted Woodpecker in the back garden was my Bird Of The Day for yesterday:

No pics I'm afraid but two jays seen recently, one in garden and one on grass verge on way to work (I do look at the road occasionally!).

Also spotted 4 redwing, 1 fieldfare and 2 mistle thrushes.

On way home from parents evening saw a beautiful barn owl.

First time out for a while today and saw a Glaucus gull (not sure how to spell it).
