A very lovely Little Bittern at Porth Hellick this afternoon… another nice addition to what’s been a pleasant spring on Scilly with some great birding! Still a decent number of golden orioles and turtle doves around also 🙌☀️ #ScillyBirds

Latest episode is live! ♠️ Check out The Two Jonnies - HB big Dave from The Two Jonnies Podcast on Amazon Music. music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/ea5...

The excellent run of patch birds continued this morning with these 2 dinky Temminck's Stint picked up by @oscardewhurst.bsky.social that spent just over an hour on Pilning Wetland before flying strongly NE. An adult Spoonbill made an even briefer appearance #ukbirding

ATTENBOROUGH BIRTHDAY SPECIAL. ♠ #TheTwoJonnies are recording an episode this evening, the big man himself is joining us to talk about his slightly longer media career and why The Two Jonnies have impressed him so much. An episode not to be missed! thetwojonnies.podbean.com

Added Black Guillemot, Osprey, White-tailed Eagle and Gannet to the whilst paddling list. ♠️ Already got Brown Booby on it. So I am pretty accomplished at this stage.

Got the test print - a few amendments required then it’ll be ready! 🤞 #birdingNortheast

Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) images from oil seed rape fields this week #NEbirding

Willow Warbler from yesterday. Shit loads of warblers across the day inc Wood and Grasshopper. On the water today... so expect less warblers... ♠️ #Argyll #Warblers #BeaverWatch

FYI. Up in Argyll. Real chance I might see an actual beaver this evening. Can you imagine how intolerable I'll be if that happens? 💯🦫💯🦫💯 #Argyll #Beaver #Beavers #BeaverWatch #Intolerable

Beachy Head: A nice varied seawatch this morning, highlights included 4 Pomarine Skua, an inbound Osprey making land fall, my first Swifts of 2026, and a nice selection of waders. (Whimbrel in pic)

I was surprised the Lesser Yellowlegs at Aldeburgh stuck around long enough for me to go and see it this morning; lovely light and I had it all to myself, plus a little bit of bonus singing when antagonised by a Redshank #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

Thinking about Migfest? This is your nudge. Tickets are on sale, sales have started strongly, and September will come around quickly. Book now and join us at Spurn. 🎟️ buytickets.at/spurnbirdobs... #Birding #Migfest #Spurn

Another early-morning vismig session paid off when 135 Arctic Terns, in 3 groups, flew north east past Severn Beach on their long migration. For me, witnessing their spectacular journey to the far north is the highlight of Spring on the Severnside patch. Pic: @migrationmatt.bsky.social #ukbirding

Lovely to be surrounded by singing Corn Bunting on a survey earlier today in Cambs. 🪶

I had an eventful morning helping out on our Osprey Recovery tour with @harbourbirds.bsky.social . I was scanning the trees over Carey's when I picked out a funny looking kite. A few seconds of checking it confirmed it as a Black Kite!!!! My rarest find ever, and Dorset gets better and better!

Northumberland yearlist still ticking along… awesome views of the Black Guillemot on Holy Island this evening. Not an easy bird to see in the county, been years since I’ve seen one - worth the drive up after work! #NEBirding #UKBirding

A real surprise @hilbrebirdobs.bsky.social today. Definitely not on my bird radar this morning. The 15th Cuckoo ringed at the Obs caught in the SK heligoland. Only the 3rd in the last 40 years. A 2nd calendar year female #birdringing #birdbanding

Not what i was expecting to see this morning at Landguard - a Tawny Pipit. #Birds #Birding #Suffolkbirds

14 Bar-tailed Godwit this evening on Marazion beach. (28th April). What a sight to see nearly all of them in full breeding plumage. #cornwallbirding #birding #ukbirding

When I started birding, I always remembered the tale of “Hoopoe only turn up in the Vicar’s garden”. So I followed up on the vague Hoopoe report at Sedgeford by starting at the church. Happy it paid off! #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

With the absence of an Arctic Tern day last year (just 1 bird), today's was extra special. At least 39 still present when I left late morning. The 2 Little Gulls also hanging around. #Orgreavebirds

Lovely Lesser Yellowlegs at Aldeburgh Town Marshes today and a fine breeding-plumaged Ruff @rspb.bsky.social Minsmere later showing well in front of South Hide.

My drawing of a Black Guillemot. Pastels on Pastelmat

Just for fun... record shot of the Black Tern at Livermere yesterday. Consolation for missing the 38 bird strong mega flock on Fri! ♠️ #SuffolkBirding

Look hard to spot the Dotterel. Pete and I were out surveying in the Norfolk Fens early this morning and stopped to check a likely looking field for Wheatear. Couldn't believe it when Pete said he had a Dotterel! Turned out to be four. 📷Peter Wilson, Southery Fen #NorfolkBirding

This amazing partially leucistic Greenland Wheatear gave me a bit of fright on the Great Orme this morning. One of 50+ Wheatears that stopped off on the headland today. What a bird! #BirdingWales #UKbiding

Migration is in full flow at the moment and the first hour on the Great Orme was superb today! Pied Flycatcher, 2 Redstart, 50+ ‘Greenland’ Wheatear, Garden Warbler, Sedge Warbler, 7 Willow Warbler, 25 Redpoll and 12 Siskin. #ukbirding #birdingwales

A nice surprise along the beach south of Walberswick this morning: a Wryneck singing three times from a bramble. I am not sure I have ever heard one sing in the UK... #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

Hey runners, don’t be a gel end! Following on from our post about the amount of gel wrappers discarded at running events, watch this short video. Darren Evan is interviewed by BBC Sport while out plogging at the Brighton Marathon. @leavenotracebtn.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Great-tailed Grackle singing almost continually at Speke Hall in meadow willows around pond 16:10-16:45. @rarebirder.bsky.social @billaspin.bsky.social

Accidentally saw this Caspian Gull whilst scanning for the Bar-tailed Godwit. It was not intentional. I am not that sort of person... ♠️

Red-rumped Swallow in Thetford this eve. Not a sentence I expected to be writing. New species for Suffolk for me 🙌 #SuffolkBirding

Thanks to @sconebirding.bsky.social for the call and @neilcalbrade.bsky.social for the find... ♠️ Red-rumped Swallow safely added to my County list - 302 up for Suffolk. That's nearly 500!

What a morning up the Great Orme! Vismig Green Woodpecker, Redpolls, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Wheatears, Whitethroat, Siskins, Hirundines + Pipits on the move. Offshore the 2000+ Common Scoter flock contained a drake Surf Scoter and drake Velvet Scoter! A classic morning ☺️👍 #ukbirding #birdingwales

Cavenham between Temple Bridge and the old lock 2 Grasshopper Wblr 2+ Cuckoo Marsh Harrier Common Curlew #suffolkbirding #breckbirding

Nice couple of hours at SWT Redgrave & Lopham Fen this morning with plenty of spring migrants seen including this Grasshopper Warbler #SuffolkBirds

My first Cuckoo, Common Sand and Yellow Wags of the year on today's bike ride. Even got this footage - with my mobile phone!!! ♠️ #NextLevel

Another unforgettable morning in Sabah, Borneo today as we watched this stunning male Bornean Peacock-Pheasant from a forest hide. #Birds #WorldBirding #Borneo #WiseBirding

#Wildfowl #elite 💯🦆

Nesting colonies of 3 𝘈𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘴 species (Mossy-nest, Black-nest & White-nest) & roundleaf bats inside Gomantong Cave on my recent trip to #Sabah #BirdsSeenIn2026 #swift #birdphotography #birdnest #birds #bats #colonies #birding #birdwatching #naturebeauty #cave #animalphotography #wildlife #nature

Great Reed Warbler caught & released in Sykes Field at 8am BoC 📸 Harry Appleyard

The first time I have caught one of the Eriocrania/ Spring Jewels in the garden, absolutely stunning micros!. Looks to be one of the sangii group most likely Purple Spring Jewel E. sangii #teammoth

Black-tailed Godwit. Pastels & coloured pencils on Pastelmat

Saw a female Wheatear in this field on the way back from work. That's just the sort of thing you can expect from me. ♠️

Another great Rock Pipit sighting from our @hilbrebirdobs.bsky.social colour ringing project. CCH ringed as a juv in August 25 seen in Garlieston, Dumfries & Galloway this April. 176 km NNW! #birdringing #birdbanding

Slightly changed version of the Willow/Chiff ID page I showed a while ago.

A refreshing wander out the back of Scotney this evening, 40+ Yellow Wagtails, Swallows nest building under the old conveyer, also a Sedge Warbler singing in a sea of Rape. #UKBirding
