Headed to Winterton Dunes NNR, #Norfolk to twitch the lesser grey shrike that has been there for a few days. Stood near to the tallest tree in the area and waited for it to come to me. Very interesting forehead markings. #DirtyTwitching #Birds #Willdife #Photography #UKBirding #NorfolkBirding

It was 30 years' ago today, on 15th September 1995, that I stumbled across a small warbled in tussock grass at Lower Breck, North Ronaldsay, Orkney. After a ten minutes of heart racing panic it 'gave itself up' and was Orkney's first ever river warbler. #Birds #Orkney #Wildlife #LivingInThePast

Gypsy moth was the highlight in last nights trap. A scarce immigrant or recolonising in Norfolk #norfolkmoths

A much quieter MV trap hier soir, but a big surprise was this Oak Processionary. A new #moth for me and a good record in NR6. #norfolkmoths #teammoth

A couple of quick sketches of the Song Sparrow just now on Tory Island. Always a bit of excitement to find a rarity, and with boats cancelled due to the weather, I'm the only birder here to enjoy it! Despite the weather, it is regularly singing away from a sheltered corner.
