They reckon he makes the 3000km crossing of the mediterranean / Sahara in one flight.Now that makes my 75 mile drive to see him seem well worth it. Showing regularly, at Thursley Common. He is back.

This often depends on the age as the older females tend to have a brighter and more defined colour.Among the other bird sightings were groups of linnets in song, washing in the shallow water of the River Colne.On April 10 reports came through what was thought to be almost certainly “Colin” the infamous Thursley cuckoo, having made its return to the Parish Field on Thursley Common.Colin the cuckoo previously photographed on Thursley Common.Having plenty of photos on its previous years of visiting there, and confident of seeing at least one cuckoo this year I opted to give him a miss, at least for the time being. As you can see, I wasn't disappointed. 22nd May 2019 In Bird photography PHOTOGRAPHY. My latest addition there was a willow warbler. “Maybe he forgot to take his keys with him when he went out?” I thought to myself, as he continued to call loudly at the door as if hoping someone would let him in.The bee is almost certainly a female Hairy-footed Flower Bee. Following Google maps of the area, we got completely lost on the common (all sandy paths and boardwalks look the same to me) but managed to find the field we were looking for (a lot of walking that was not required) and immediately met up with David Gardiner, a Flickr acquaintance and photographer who has visited the site on numerous occasions over the previous 4 years.

Male Stonechat . Awesome Inc. theme. This one I photographed there in 2014.A great northern diver was observed, but too far out for a picture with my camera.Three little gulls on the far side of the basin were another good addition.Moving on to Staines Moor we were able to add a ring ouzel to our year’s sightings.Not to be confused with the blackbird, the male is particularly distinctive with his pale wing panels and black plumage contrasting with a white gorget (a white crescent on the upper breast).The female’s appearance varies from a very bright breast band to a scarcely visible one. One in particular I photographed could be seen with a beak full of insects, suggesting that it had young nearby to feed.Great crested grebe on Stoke Lake at the Riverside Nature Reserve.Great crested grebes continued to grace the lake with at least two pairs seen most visits, although no signs of nest building has been evident.The coots on the lake had already built their nests and were already incubating their young.In spite of a mostly rather chilly fortnight, with an easterly breeze during the first half of April, as well as regular night frosts toward the middle of the month, insects were now starting to emerge. A Redstart, a Woodlark and a flying Emperor Moth, oh and a Dartford Warbler albeit from a distance and some record shots.

The locals have named him Colin, and David Sewell who I'd met and chatted with on Facebook, very kindly agreed to meet me in Thursley and take me to the site.

Later it could briefly be been seen back in the reeds, where I had or originally heard him calling.Not regularly seen by me there were a pair of linnets that had appeared to have taken up residence.Long-tailed tits remained a regular sighting, now paired up with some already tending to their young.A pair of nuthatches could be seen in close proximity as I walked the reserve, constantly in contact with each other as they worked their way, in their renown upside-down posture, as the picked out insects from the bark of a tree.Tree creeper collecting insects for its young at the Riverside Nature Reserve.Tree creepers were also present and active, while unlike the nuthatch, they could be mostly seen working their way up the trees.
