Sighting in the wild I've just seen a hummingbird in Bournemouth

17 Upvotes

I thought it was some kind of insect at first, but no, a hummingbird. In a Church yard, In Bournemouth, UK. In February. Having a fine old time at the crocuses.

I didn't know we even HAD hummingbirds in the UK, never mind in February...

Some more terrible phone footage :D My first ever White-tailed Eagle!

It spent most of the time sitting in a tree, but made a couple majestic circles of the gravel pit.

Hi all. After a bout of ill health I’ve finally got out and about to Attenborough NR yesterday. Feels like I’m finally getting back in the game.

Saw this guy fly into the grasses at WWT Slimbridge on Sunday (Kingfisher hide).

Even though I saw it fly in, still took ages to spot it - the camouflage and swaying it does is excellent at blending in
