Great days birds yesterday with @batswing2000 and @RobsBirding . First the Rufous-tailed Robin showed better than we could have hoped. Then Nutcracker after it gave us the run around! Supporti cast of Pallas’s Warbler, Bean, pink footed and white fronted geese and Whooper Swan!
Amazing day today, the Rufous-tailed Robin showed extremely well for around 40mins this morning from around 6.30, and we only had to wait 10mins for it to show on the path next to us, not what we expected!!!
Been waiting for the Long Tailed Shrike to complete its moult before going back for a second look. Looking very smart today and showing much better than the frantic first day!
White Winged Black Tern at Stodmarsh today. Been a while since I last saw one and well worth the effort. Also a Honey Buzzard and Garganey making a pleasant morning.
Also a family group of Ptarmigan decided to approach us whilst we sat down for lunch. Amazing views and birds!
Family trip to the highlands a few weeks back. A climb up mount Cairn Gorm with my daughter resulted in super views of juv snow bunting close to the path to the summit!
Well I was passing to pick my daughter up from uni for Christmas 🫣 but a bird full of character and really enjoyed watching the Boat Tailed Grackle in its favourite garden this afternoon!
Amazing weekend trip to Holland with the Spectacled Eider being the star. Other birds included 1000,s of geese including Lesser White front, 14 White Tailed Eagle, Rough Legged Buzzard, Black Winged Kite, Pygmy Cormorant, Red Breasted Goose, Bufflehead, Scaup Smew and ShoreLark
Dusky warbler at Westbrook Kent showed very well at times today, although challenging to photograph within the low vegetation!
Lovely Birthday gift today in the form of a male Desert Wheatear at Seasalter. Great find by @NeilBurt5 thx for getting the news out and great to see you this afternoon.
One of the Dotterel at St Margaret’s this morning. Sat down in the field and waited for them to walk past me! Got a bit muddy but well worth it!
Wilson”s Storm Petrel with Sun fish with @Scillypelagics yesterday. One of 41 seen through the day. Amazing views, also 200 European Stormy, 25 great, 8 Cory’s and 6 Sooty Shearr.
Back from Michigan with some great birds seen and now lots of photo editing to do. Kirtlands Warbler was a main target with birds very showing well. Huge thanks to Warren Whaley for his help and taking me out for the day.
After being difficult on sat with brief but good views in the evening, the Cornwall Booted Eagle put on a great show Sunday morning just before 10am.
A few more of the Bonaparte’s Gull at Sennen Cove Cornwall whilst on a family long weekend in Cornwall.
