A shout of Cory’s went out and I looked up to see it hurtling towards me! Such a memorable experience aboard the Mermaid pelagic on Sunday. 🪶

One of the many Wilson’s Storm Petrel seen from the Penzance pelagic. Such a challenge to photograph with the boat rocking about, and the speed they whizzed above the waves at. 🪶

Had a fantastic Mermaid pelagic trip off Penzance on Sunday. The sight of 15 Wilson’s Storm Petrel “dancing” on the water was absolutely magical.

Working nearby this morning meant I had the chance to try for the Woolbeding Honey Buzzards, couldn’t believe my luck when one did a close fly-by after 10 minutes wait. No further sign after 2 hours.

I finally saw one of my dream birds in Cyprus last week. It’s always a great feeling seeing a species you’ve only ever looked at in field guides. Collared Pratincole at Akrotiri.

It’s that time of year when the patch goes from the gentle whistling of Wigeon and Teal, to the raucous screeching of Black-headed Gulls getting ready to nest.

Pleased to see my first Wheatear of the year in Bucks this afternoon. Amazing to think that I could be the first person in Europe to see it this year.
