Black Tern still currently on the Moors Pool at Upton Warren @WorcsBirding
Bryher this morning - my fourth and final day of staying on the island and found this Short-toed Lark in my last hour before heading home! A nice few days and my first time of actually staying on Bryher. Definitely one of my favourite islands!
Work, short daylight hours and trips abroad have meant that I haven’t been able to make it to Upton Warren much recently. Popped in on the way to work and 2 Sand Martin over the Moors in the drizzle were my first of the year
2 Red Kites together and very low over the Tesco Express in Oldswinford, Stourbridge this morning. My first time seeing 2 together here. A sign of things to come or just some early spring raptor passage?
This is Andy or @handles4forks. Andy is a brilliant nature friendly farmer, who quietly does so much for farmland birds, whilst running a farm. Since 2014 we have seen Corn bunting numbers increase from 2 to 50+ thanks to him! A real nature hero! Yesterday we caught a few too!
Lion hunting in the Okavango. Testing out the Canon R6 mark II. The tracking focus certainly helped here. An unsuccessful hunt nonetheless
Less frequently heard contact call of the African Wild Dog, which is frequently used to reconnect with/relocate pack members when separated from one another; often as a result of post-hunt chaos. Interestingly, this individual was using the tar road to further amplify his call.
Exciting news! Scientists have captured the first photographs of a spectacular African species that was feared possibly extinct: bit.ly/3uD5FVd
Something a bit different for the adventurous. I’ll be hosting a remote wilderness experience & safari in the Okavango Delta this year. We’ll be birding, tracking big game, doing wild sleep outs & more. As it’s a new trip, it’s at an hugely discounted rate. DM me for more info!
Wow. Just wow.
Going through some photos from my two trips to Okavango Delta, Botswana last year. This Leopard cub from the @AvianAdventures / @galagotravel trip which I guided was unsurprisingly a particular highlight for most!
🤣 got to love amateur togger fieldcraft
🤣 got to love amateur togger fieldcraft
On our last couple of days in Botswana I bumped on this Common Buttonquail scurrying around whilst we were looking for some Lions. Altho widespread in Bots, I don’t see them on the deck that often - normally only get them when flushed tracking big game
Some great African Wild Dog sightings on my recent business trip to Botswana. In my 11 days split between 6 Camps we saw 4 different packs and witnessed a successful hunt on one occasion. Had some good fun testing out the new Canon R6 Mark II on them
Rosy-throated Longclaw certainly living up to its name. Despite the Okavango being a Stronghold for them, they are pretty uncommon - so it was great to find a few whilst staying at Duba Plains in the northern part of the Delta last week. A distant Rec shot! @GreatPlainsCons
Goldeneye (m) still at Moors Pool #uptonwarren. Best viewed from East Hide, but probably visible from Jacobs'/Concrete Hides. Also adult Common Gull @Worcs_bird @WorcsBirding
This beast (Pel’s Fishing Owl) currently sat right outside my room at Duba Explorers in the Okavango Delta @GreatPlainsCons. A huge male Leopard just walked into camp too! Surreal
Botswana Day 4-6. 174 sp now - not bad considering this is not a bird foc trip. Highlights incl Dwarf Bittern, Slaty Egrets, African Cuckoo 📸 Palearctic migs streaming thro - mainly C Swifts, Euro Bee-Eaters, Wood Sands, L Spot Eagle. Some good recent Lion & Wild Dog sightings
Not for sensitive viewers ⚠️ Wow! What a morning here in the Okavango. Full scale chaos as 7 intruding male Lions came to the area - killing a 9 month old cub. Lions were running everywhere. Managed this unfortunate capture. Nature at its most brutal.
Botswana Day 1 - 3: so far 110 bird sp. Highlights: showy Wattled Cranes 📸, plenty of Palearctic migs incl lots Willow Wblrs, Hobby, European Bee-Eater. Some scarcities here incl Little Sparrowhawk 📸 & Temmincks Courser. 1 very showy male Leopard, Wild Dogs plus lots of Lions!

Large-scale trespass into a private quarry, folks getting injured falling down the slope, getting caught on barbed wire, damaging the finder’s car by moving logs placed to prevent parking, & Lee Evans in an ill-fitting hi-viz on traffic duty, is surely Peak Twitching? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice nice ,I just found an Alpine accentor ,I ain't a birder ,but knew it was something good ,thanks to @GlosterBirder for the identification!,right I just found a right nice moss aswell so a very good day .
Ten years to the day of the first 'official' Next Generation Birders meet up at Spurn. Some people here I talk to daily and others who wouldn't be caught dead being around me now 😂. But what a fantastic creation that group was for young birders at the time!
Good to connect with the 2cy male Collared Flycatcher at Spurn today, always sat in the hawthorn hedge at North Field. Turning into a good year for lifers.

Here is my finished 'Red Bird of Paradise' painting, in its frame & ready to go to its new home in a few weeks! This species of BoP is found on Waigeo & Batanta - West Papua. This is the 2nd painting I have done of Red BoP, both based on field study. Oil on Board, size 110x72cm.
Unprecedented rain today near Ngorongoro, Tanzania. Major problems for local people puts our inconvenience into perspective. My @ZEISSBirding Gavia scope spent 2 hours underwater in vehicle. A quick hose off and an hour in the sun and as good as new! Just need the car to go now!
Fairly quiet on site at Gib Point today- two year ticks being Reed Warbler and Tree Pipit. Otherwise the most notable was the ‘local’ Whimbrel which now seems to have paired with a Curlew. How strange…
12 Avocet for about an hour, I believe the usual 2 present all day, so 68 on reserve. A Yellow Wagtail over S, then presumably same bird back over N, 3 Swift, Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper - Upton Warren, Moors Pool.
An exceptional few days for raptors continued y’day as a BLACK KITE arrived on St. Mary’s. The Montagu’s harrier toured again, & the adult purple heron clung on to life, just. Golden orioles, woodchats, & Richard’s pipit remain, & a stone curlew was new on St. Agnes #ScillyBirds
Northbound Feral Pigeons... LOTS. Northbound Waders.... none #SedgleyBeacon
Everything seems early this year. I normally go to Fingringhoe on the 15th April to photograph the Nightingales when they have just arrived and the trees and bushes are not in leaf. This year the birds arrived on the 2nd April and some of the trees were already in leaf!!!
Our second Sandwich Tern in 4 days at #uptonwarren Flashes. This bird spent over 5 hours on site, whereas Friday's bird flew out little more than 5 minutes after arriving. Both found by @davejredditch. None at all in 2023 and my first at UW for 5 years! @WorcsBirding @WorcsWT
My 1st Spring visit to Flashes #uptonwarren..good to see @davejredditch Avocet 60 (spring record?) @wheatearlp . Lapwing 4. LRP 4, Common Sand, Oyc 2. Teal pr, Shelduck 10. Gadwall 7, Shoveler 7. Raven, Little Egret. Swallow 5, Sand Martin 40+, Cetti's 2 singing. Willow warbler.
Sandwich Tern at 11.08, stayed approx. 5 mins, 54 Avocet, 6 LRP, 12 Shelduck - Upton Warren, Flashes.
@BMcCloskey_98 Thanks very much all, and Brian! It is greatly appreciated for your kind words.
For some reason @cianbirder has been the target of bullying again. Cian is the sharpest birder I know and one of the best bird-finders in the country. Here’s some of the best birds he’s found me:
