SS15 wildlife watching

This blog was set up in mid-March 2020 during the emerging COVID-19 health crisis in the UK. It initially aimed to provide records of wildlife sightings and photographs from sites within walking distance of my home in the SS15 postcode area of Basildon in Essex during lockdown travel restrictions. Even though the pandemic has largely subsided, this blog continues to include my local wildlife sightings, my trips away from home plus some personal thoughts and reflections on other issues.

European Bee-eaters fledge in Norfolk!

Amazing news from Norfolk!

I have previously written about the remarkable breeding of European Bee-eaters at Trimingham in north east Norfolk .... see here.

I went to see these beautiful birds at the end of June .... see here and here.

Since that time, I have been watching the live webcam from the nest ....

Today, the RSPB confirmed that the first chick had fledged and this moment was captured on their nest webcam ....

🎉 IT'S HAPPENING 🎉 https://t.co/YQCORe5GXs
