Bufflehead showed well yesterday but a little distant for pictures, pleased to have managed a few record shots given the distance.
Great to catch up with some rare and scarce ducks this weekend in decent weather for a change. Thanks to the members at Woolston Eyes for access being made available to non members.
Great views of the Myrtle Warbler yesterday at Kilwinning. Ten years since I last saw one and nice to get some images of this one.
Superb views of the Golden Oriole in Cornwall at the weekend, an incredible winter record.
A great start to the new year, the Northern Waterthrush showed well on several occasions throughout the day.
My top 3 from 2023
As 2023 comes to an end I'd like to thank all those I've twitched with, seen some incredible birds and places and made great memories. Finished the year with 17 lifers and 364 for the year.
A return to Abberton in the hope of better light for photography was sadly unsuccessful, a real shame as the forecast was good and the Canvasback showed well.
Ten years apart and at opposite ends of our archipelago, Cape May Warblers on Unst and Bryher.
A great twitch to Cornwall yesterday produced a couple of new birds for me, Azores Gull showing well and Upland Sandpiper which was more difficult but showed reasonably well after giving us the runaround earlier.
A couple of obliging birds from recent trips, Veery from a sadly shortened trip to Shetland and Northern Harrier from a quick visit to Cornwall.
Canada Warbler in Pembrokeshire. Bird of the year ?
A couple of my favourites from the most incredible week of birding I've ever experienced.
A successful twitch to the East coast yesterday with great views of the Booby and a lively supporting cast.
A selection of insanely heavy crops of the Fea's/Desertas from the Scillonian crossing a couple of weeks ago, an incredible encounter.
A bit late posting these due to computer issues but couldn't resist a few more booby pics.
Surely one of my most memorable twitches ever, great birds and great company.
Incredible views of the Lesser Kestrel in glorious weather on Scilly yesterday.
Incredible views of this obliging Hume's Warbler this afternoon.

@UKTwitcher @PortlandBirdObs @DorsetBirdClub Best photo I’ve seen of this bird!!
Still pretty windy at Portland, Dorset yesterday however I got lucky with the fine looking Western Subalpine Warbler showing well early evening. @PortlandBirdObs @DorsetBirdClub
A few other images from a recent trip to the eastern Andes in Ecuador: a thread. #1 Canada Warbler
Some fantastic views of birds in Extremadura in recent days for @OrioleBirding group. This Griffon Vulture being one of hundreds seen and these two Lesser Kestrels are just a sample of what was on offer at the colony.
How do we get rid of this bollox? It has no account to block, and I keep flagging it up as no interest, but still it returns Mr Musk, you might enjoy money by any means, but I have zero interest in Chinese tat made by kids for 10p an hour in Asian sweatshops…
Congratulations to whoever is organising the Lynford feeder. It's back to its best: a great variety of species to see, though the Hawfinches are the stars, of course (though still shy and mostly making very intermittent quick visits). (More pics at cleybirds.com.)
Quick dash straight from my exam to Kilwinning, Ayrshire for the Myrtle warbler last week!!! My first American passerine in the UK🐦
Just learnt that one of the Blackcap we tagged here @Bempton_Cliffs on 21st October last year as part of a UK-wide project to understand the migration ecology of this species was detected in the Netherlands nine days later and then arrived in Germany on 4th November. Awesome data
Finches have been gradually increasing over the last week, and now up to 6 Bullfinches visiting the feeder at any one time. I must try harder to photograph those this year, but in the meantime, the Firecrests continue to show well in the garden and the hedge row out the front.
Some digital art from the past 6 months or so. Black-capped Petrel, Black-bellied Storm Petrel, Short-tailed Shearwater and juvenile Caspian Gull. Highly recommend digitally doodling if you can, a lot of fun and very little stress. All drawn on free app ‘Sketchbook’.
Myrtle Warbler still Kilwinning
Had an amazing opportunity to watch Cresties last weekend in Rothiemurchus. Interesting to see them foraging on the ground as well as in the trees.
say hi if u want a free pic 📸

Waxwing at Gedling CP yesterday, tried to stay out of their way but they kept landing right next to me. @NottsBirders @gedlingct
@doonaldfwilson Am using the Zeiss DTI 1/19 and works great for me, very user friendly!
