Yorkshire bird list (255), last tick White-rumped Sandpiper (Spurn). World list (307) Tenerife Blue Chaffinch. Rylstone, North YorkshireJoined January 2012
Day 3 Tenerife the trip to La Gomera. No sightings at all on the way but the trip back produced 7 Cory's Shearwaters and 1 Barolo Shearwater. 0 Petrels. #birdwatching.
Day 2 of Tenerife was a trip down to Barranco De Ruiz for Laurel Pigeon, also added Atlantic Canary and Barbary Partridge. + A GWE whilst waiting for bus back to digs (apparently quite rare in these parts and needed a description on ebird. @TenerifeBirding. #tenerifebirdwatching
Started the 4 days in Tenerife strong. Plain Swift, Berthelot's Pipit, African Blue Tit, Canary Islands Chaffinch and Chiffchaff. Horrible light for the Pipit. #Tenerifebirdwatching.
Starting September the right way. Hirundines on the move with Mipits. But a big patch lifer in a single Hawfinch south at Gouthwaite #patchbirding#PWC2025#patchworkchallenge
Gouthwaite in June and July was dire. August much better, 2 Marsh Harrier, a Hobby, Yellow Wagtail, Tree Pipit, Green Sandpiper and Greenshank all added to PWC2025 #patchworkchallenge#PWC2025
They weren’t sorry. They were just seen. If that camera hadn’t been there, they’d still be sneaking around in peace... they would’ve kept living their little lie like nothing ever happened. disgusting.
No sympathy for either party.

On the last day. With darkness falling and 0 lifers for the day. I set out on a quest, a one last hurrah for a sought after species. At 09.25pm and nearing the end of the route around Guadalhorce it happened. RED-NECKED NIGHTJAR ✅️.
Spent an entire 8 hours at Guadalhorce, managed to squeeze out one life tick, a hunting Collared Pratincole. Seeing 3 juvenile White-headed Ducks was more exciting than seeing an adult days before. And of course some photos of Flamingoes. #malagabirding#birdwatching
So when was someone going to tell me Rollers are an absolute unit of a bird. I was expecting something Blackbird sized not Jackdaw size. Squint really hard and thats a Western Bonelli's Warbler. Also saw Spectacled Warbler also notoriously skulky.
#birdwatching#birdingandalucia
3 more lifers today at Guadalhorce estuary Audouin's Gull, Gull-Billed Tern and Kentish Plover. Off to the golf course soon for West Bonelli's and West Orphean.
Just north of Torremolinos today in the mountains. A sad lack of Eagles, nevertheless 5 lifers, Woodchat Shrike, Black Wheatear, Lesser Kestrel, Thekla's Lark and Rock Bunting. #birdingMalaga#BirdingAndalucia
Few pics from today in Malaga Crestled Lark, Serin and Bee Eaters. The big days start tomorrow assuming this jet lag wears off #malagabirdwatching#Spain
A pretty good year all round at Gouthwaite Reservoir for patchwork challenge 2024. 133 species with a grand total of 159 points. Lots of personal site ticks, too many to name with only 2 years of patching but Scaup and Ring-necked Duck were probably the highlights of the year.
