Very strong signal for widespread heavy rainfall to affect London next Wednesday-Thursday, it looks something like a drought buster. The remnants of low with potentially tropical characteristics will drag up significantly moist air towards UK. #ukweather

Very happy to have recently received my C Permit! Started 2 years ago when I was 14 and ringed around 2000 individuals since. Very pleased to now have my license. I even got a ringing tick of Bearded Tit whilst being assessed. @_BTO

Most of the talking points this week revolve around Warblers and Waders as autumn migration kicked further into gear. Over, 3,100 Mediterranean Gulls in Pegwell on the 27th was a record count for the area.

The English Channel is separating us from getting “cooked” later this week. In Paris 🇫🇷 5 consecutive >35C days are expected from this Thursday potentially peaking 38C/100F on Sunday combining with high humidity. The heat & humidity will pose a significant challenge to wider population in mainland Europe where air conditioning remains scarce. Only 25% of homes in France have it.

Lots of scarce birds in Kent this week. Best were an Iberian Chiffchaff and a fly-by Gull-billed Tern. But there was plenty more with Hoopoe, Black-winged Stilt, Red-footed Falcon, Glossy Ibis and Temminck’s Stint all recorded. All details on kentos.org.uk #kentbirding

Another Bluethroat was found, a Common Crane lingered, sea-watching improved a little bit and a few more Summer migrants arrived in Kent. For full details see kentos.org.uk. #kentbirding

KOS Site of the month – March Northward Hill RSPB - March is the time to visit this North Kent gem! The UK’s largest heronry is bursting into life, with Grey Herons and Little Egrets busy nesting. Keep an eye on the marshes for Marsh Harriers and wintering wildfowl! #kentbirding

KOS species of the month – March March can see Northern Wheatears arrive in Kent. This smart looking species does breed in Kent but many more pass through to breed more northerly, including the Greenland sub species on their way to Greenland and north-west Canada. #kentbirding

For those tired of winter and ☔️ weather, there is growing evidence into following week of more consistent high pressure influence from Azores High. There also looks to be an attempt next weekend in the south. I think this all points to eventual very mild conditions in final week of Feb, say mid teens. A burst of spring,

The Red-flanked Bluetail and Pallas’s Warbler remained into this week, while a Black Guillemot flew past Dungeness and a Glaucous Gull offered close-up views in Margate. Full details on kentos.org.uk. #kentbirding #birdguides

The earlier UKMO looks increasingly isolated and without support. See its output on left and compare with latest GEFS mean on Sunday with separation of troughing. The first phase a cleaner and colder east feed to end this week is locking into place.

Yes I suspect there will be snow showers but tending to go more east of London. So Kent, Essex, Suffolk ect.

I left the Obs this morning with a short walk in mind and ended with my best encounter with a Hen Harrier! First saw it offshore, coming in-off overhead and inland. It settled in the asparagus fields, hawking so low it wasn't viewable until it popped out just a few metres away
