Living right next to Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, loving nature and the bird life, but more of a Twit than a Twitcher when it comes to knowing what's what!

Back on our home patch today @ryeharbour_NR
Lucky to see a Crimson Speckled moth at western end of reserve, just off the beach reserve. Was pleased to see it land and pause as very tricky to find on stones otherwise!

As it comes closer, we now think our regular visitor is a Common Chiffchaff.

So this very green-yellow little one landed on my husband's knee yesterday 馃槸 after this gentle moment he's no longer sure it's a Willow Warbler, anyone know more about Greenish Warbler identification please? @Britnatureguide @ryeharbour_NR @SussexWildlife @BTO_Sussex
Finally managed to spot the pair we've been hearing but not seeing in a neighbour's fir tree. Usually visit with a group of blue tits and long-tailed tits. We're thinking Willow Warbler? @ryeharbour_NR @BTO_Sussex #BirdsSeenIn2022

Struck this evening by a subtle beauty in the muted tones of a linnet against a seed head backdrop @ryeharbour_NR @SussexWildlife #BirdsSeenIn2022 #birding
And in other drama tonight, this time at the western end of @ryeharbour_NR, a hunting Kestrel stops her search for supper to take on an invading Barn Owl (poor quality shot but high quality drama)!馃 @SussexWildlife @Team4Nature #birdwatching
Tense moment this evening @ryeharbour_NR watching a Common Ringed Plover calling its chick to safety as the Marsh Harrier passed over. In pic 3 it's just squeezing under the adult's wing! #BirdsSeenIn2022 @BBCSpringwatch @SussexWildlife @Team4Nature
Young Robin. .. very taken with this new visitor to garden feeders.
