Eurasian Whimbrel, Numenius phaeopus, ringed at Kartong Bird Observatory in 2017 recorded at Brownstown Head, County Waterford, R.O.Ireland. 29/4/2024. Our second record of a KBO ringed Eurasian Whimbrel in North West Europe. An excellent record.
Two Greenland Wheatears caught this morning, this male with a wing of 113mm and weight of 39.1 gms is the largest so far. 8 Whimbrels dropped in onto the rocks briefly at Port na Carraigh.
Led by Micheal Colley our ringing team have been netting the last remaining water pools on the wetlands. They have had some excellent catches. The recent highlights include Wood Sandpiper, African Harrier Hawk, Black Crake and the 14th record of Cuckoo Finch for The Gambia.
Thanks @sophieraworth and @BBCNews for giving me the chance to talk about the travels of White-tailed Eagle G818 on the News at Six on BBC1 this evening. Some brilliant footage and photos from @twamers and @nyrak62 too - thank you both.

A great find by Emmanuel Jatta @jatta_emmanuel. Presently working as an intern at Skokholm Bird Observatory in the UK, on loan from us. Another great find to add to his list of firsts.

The 27th big Icelandic-type Redwing to be ringed this spring, with @35_jatta scribing for @GwennanOutside. It is unusual to handle this many at this time of year, indeed spring totals since 2013 have varied between one and eight and have totalled 44 prior to this year.
We currently have the privilege of hosting @35_jatta from the brilliant @kartongbirdobs for a few weeks of training and exchanging ideas. Today was helping @fatsnipe with his Wheatear work, although the female Stonechat and Rock Pipits made up the non-heligoland catch
A proud day for all of us @kartongbirdobs as Emmanuel @35_jatta makes his first trip to the UK to work at @SkokholmIsland B.O. and with the @ospreylf . Emmanuel will be working with Ospreys and White-tailed Eagles during part of his 5 months in the UK. Thank you to all who helped

The distinct profile of Cuckoo-finch, Anomalospiza imberbis. This individual caught and ringed @kartongbirdobs is the 13th record for The Gambia. 11 of the 12 previous records have been at Kartong. A species that is under recorded in The Gambia.
Our research on migratory connectivity and strategies of Grey Plovers is now published! Amazing journeys! GP follow a "skipping" strategy and we identified 66! different stopover sites along West African, European and Russian coasts. #migration #tracking nature.com/articles/s4159…
Pygmy Sunbird, Hedydipna platurus. Caught and ringed today, another new species for @kartongbirdobs. Reasonably frequent upriver in the provinces, this species is very rare in coastal Gambia.
Little Green Woodpecker, Campethera maculosa. An adult male caught and ringed this morning at @kartongbirdobs. The 3rd record for The Gambia. The first record for Kartong Bird Observatory.
Blue Yellowbill, Ceuthmochares aereus, a species we never anticipated catching at a Kartong. A rare forest-dwelling species caught in coastal dune scrub this morning.
Vieillot's Barbet, Lybius vieilloti. Caught and ringed today.
Today, KBO made a donation of binoculars to the Gunjur Project Bird Club, which works with @ospreylf to develop young peoples interest in birds. These were provided by Caroline McClelland on behalf Newcastle RSPB members group.
This beautiful Lanner Falcon, Falco biarmicus abyssinicus, was caught and ringed this morning. Although a local breeding species, this is only the second individual caught at Kartong. This bird is a 2cy male.
Common Quail, Coturnix coturnix. Caught and ringed at KBO this morning. Scarce in The Gambia this is the first record of this species at Kartong Bird Observatory.
We were highly honoured this morning to receive an official visit from @HCKingFCDO British High Commissioner to The Gambia. This visit, supporting our ornithological research @kartongbirdobs, was greatly appreciated by all our team.

The weather over the last week has been unseasonably cold and wet, taking its toll on some of our long-distance migrant species. The cold front currently bracing the island claimed this Swallow today. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality of migration.
So true. I’ve found or heard of very few pairs
Spring 2024 and I’m not seeing any breeding Lapwing anywhere. This iconic bird seems to have been airbrushed from farmland across Southern England. What was once a classic #farmlandbird has now all but disappeared from the wider countryside. This is so sad 😔 What’s going on?
Popped over to Cleat to check out a report of a dead seabird on the beach and accidentally found a freshly arrived Sea Coconut aka Golf-ball Bean from the American tropics, a new sea bean species for us and one we never realistically expected to find on Barra.
There are several unpaired male Wheatears @SkokholmIsland due to the low rate of returning females. Here D82 is holding a territory near Little Bay Point. And C39 is near Howard’s End hide - discovered by visitor Katie, it now boosts the male return rate close to its norm.
An arrival of common migrants @spurnbirdobs today, bolstered by this Wryneck in Kilnsea, which was still obliging well into the evening. Thanks to @msabirder for allowing access @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides
@kartongbirdobs @rogwalsh @Michael01391183 @NaffieSarr60735 @johnjarjou @35_jatta Amazing record!
What a morning. Black woodpecker highlight for me
Red sky in the morning.... Dawn breaking behind Boreray today. #sunrise #stkilda #scottishisland #OuterHebrides #visitscotland #fortheloveofscotland
Nice to get to ring two Tawny Owl chicks this morning. @WaveneyBirdClub
Returning adult Wheatears @SkokholmIsland are usually loyal to the previous year’s territory if possible. Male C59 has been at Wallsend for 2023 & 2024 and next door at Windmill Gully for the previous two. He’s had four different mates in four years.
Two Greenland Wheatears caught this morning, this male with a wing of 113mm and weight of 39.1 gms is the largest so far. 8 Whimbrels dropped in onto the rocks briefly at Port na Carraigh.
