Snow buntings Kessingland beach. Suffolk. 16/12/2025 Apparently a flock of snow buntings is sometimes called a "flurry" due to their appearance resembling snowflakes when they fly together. 100+ #birds today, with 4 shore lark. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Slavonian grebe Abberton reservoir, Essex 12/12/2025 Nice to see these two yesterday, but they were eclipsed by a goosander flock of at least 67 #birds!

Woodcock Hanningfield 5/12/2025 Lucky to notice this very smart #bird out of the corner of my eye this morning.

Jacksnipe Kessingland beach, 30/11/2025 The over-wintering #birds are starting to arrive on the pools.

Great egret Suffolk, 26/11/2025 Fishing in the last light

Shorelark Kessingland beach, 20/11/2025 7 today with 25 snow bunting.

Siberian chiff chaff Lowestoft, 16/11/2025

Isabelline shrike (possibly Daurian) North Warren RSPB, Suffolk, Hunting wasp and bees during the morning of 17/11/2025. May have moved on yesterday am when the bracken in its favoured feeding area was cut. #birds

Tawny Owl 18/11/2025 Should have gone to Specsavers!

Marsh harrier @rspbminsmere.bsky.social , 17/11/2025 Keeping the starling murmuration active. Estimated at 15k #birds, although how, I have no idea.

Isabelline (Daurian?) shrike North Warren RSPB, Suffolk, 17/11/2025 Showed well today. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #birds

Grey phalarope Benacre, 30/10/2025 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #Suffolkbirding #birds

Grey phalarope Benacre, 30/10/2025 An excellent find by team @paulgreenwildwire.bsky.social A very confiding #bird. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #Suffolkbirding

Four mornings with no little auk yet; despite them being seen to the north and south of the beach. A velvet scoter close in this morning.

Shorelark Kessingland beach pools, 29/10/2025 Feeding in the same area as last winter, so possibly a returning #bird #SuffolkBirding @lowestoftlizards.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Dungeness: A pale bird dropped into a Bramble beside me at the red and white gates, then morphed into a super leucistic Kestrel and alighted on a lamp post in the power station, only to be mobbed by a Magpie then have a close shave with an encounter with a Peregrine. #UKbirding #Kentbirding #Birds

Brown shrike Hollesley, Suffolk, 22/10/2025 A 1st calendar year #bird; the first for Suffolk, and my sixth shrike species for the year

Red-tailed or Turkestan shrike Dunwich, Suffolk, 05/10/2025 It seems very settled. Hunting bees and storing them in a gorse bush larder. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Red-tailed shrike Dunwich, Suffolk, 05/10/2025 #suffolkbirding #birds

Red-tailed shrike Dunwich, Suffolk, 05/10/2025 "Showing well" @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Turkestan shrike Dunwich, Suffolk 02/10/2025 My out for three shrikes week just went to four, when this Turkestan / red-tailed shrike was found, a short walk from Minsmere, where I was birding today. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Lesser redpoll Winterton, Norfolk. 27/09/2025 #birds

Out for three shrikes in Norfolk. Lesser grey shrike, Winterton Red-backed shrike, Winterton Isabelline (Daurian?) shrike, Happisburgh #birds

Cuckoo Kessingland 28/09/2025 Juvenile #bird yesterday.

Pied flycatcher Southwold 25/09/2025 No sign of the two yellow-browed warblers, after a morning sea watch, but good to find a pied flycatcher in the same area. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

We spent the rest of our final morning on Shetland y’day checking spots up the west side of Mainland, including the burn of Geosetter. Just a Blackcap seen on the way up, but coming back down this stunning Wood Warbler popped out! Pic by @chrisddarby.bsky.social #UKbirding

The Blue-winged Teal at Hillwell y’day kicked off the final day of our 1st group to Shetland of the season. We were lucky as it flew in from the south with a group of Teal just as we arrived. Certainly a lot easier to pick out in flight than on the deck! #UKbirding Pic by @chrisddarby.bsky.social

Taxonomy didn’t ruin the excitement for our Shetland group this morning when we stumbled on this absolutely stunning Hornemann’s Arctic Redpoll up at North Roe with the Isbister sparrow flock! Hopefully a sign that more will be on the way! #UKbirds #UKbirding

Whinchat Kessingland beach, 12/09/2025

Common buzzard Kessingland, 12/09/2025

Kestrel Carlton marshes 10/09/2025 I was down to 1/50th of a second before the #bird moved away. Amazing how still they keep the head.

Arctic warbler, Gt. Wigborough, Essex, showing better today #essexbirding

Black tern Hanningfield, Essex, 1/09/2025 Four juvenile #birds present in recent days.

Barred warbler Kessingland 26/08/2025 The more usual feeding behaviour. Still there today, but better in the morning, when it starts feeding - after which it can be elusive. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Barred warbler Kessingland 26/08/2025 The #bird was fly catching this morning, showing superb aerobatic skills. Something I have never seen before from this species; only “clumsy” berry eating. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding

Barred warbler Kessingland, 24/08/2025 A scarce Suffolk #bird in recent year. Found this morning by @stuartreeves.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding

Zitting cisticola Walberswick, Suffolk, 23/08/2025 I thought I was having a good day with an image of one of the juveniles from the 1st recorded breeding of Zitting cisticola in the UK. On review I found four juveniles and the adult female🤯 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #ukbirding

Little terns Kessingland, Suffolk

Little tern Kessingland beach 18/08/2025 64 1st year #birds on the beach this morning; being fed by adults fishing offshore (200+). They again failed to breed here this year and so I assume they are from the Norfolk sites, migrating south.

Greenish warbler Lowestoft 16/08/025 A few more images from yesterday; still present today @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #birds #suffolkbirding

Greenish warbler Lowestoft, Ness Point, 16/08/2025 Another excellent find by Andrew Easton @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #birds #suffolkbirding

Fan-tailed warbler / Zitting cisticola Walberswick, Suffolk. 06/08/2025 Display flights regular and defending its territory from sedge warblers. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Fan-tailed warbler / Zitting cisticola Walberswick, Suffolk. 03/08/2025 Heat haze and a small distant bird in a bouncing display flight. All I could get was the key features - if you squint. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Black stork Boyton Marshes RSPB reserve 30/07/2025 The range of blue green colours within the black, similar to glossy ibis, are difficult to capture. @rspb.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Black stork Boyton Marshes RSPB reserve 30/07/2025 @rspb.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding #birds

Black stork Boyton Marshes RSPB reserve 30/07/2025 The immature #bird showed relatively well this morning! Walking up to, then falling asleep in front of us. @rspb.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Roseate tern Lowestoft 24/07/25 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social Found by @lowestoftlizards.bsky.social

Collared pratincole Aldeburgh town marshes 08/07/2025 Presumably the same #bird seen in Lincolnshire and Norfolk last month. If so it has moulted a tail streamer since then. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Black-browed albatross From a research vessel transiting between South Georgia and the Falkland Islands #WorldAlbatrossDay #birds #seabirds

Pygmy owl Kuusamo, Finland, June 2025 In the first image the #canon eye focus system has locked onto the false eyes(?) on the back of the head. #birds
