The 3 Russian White-fronts still with Greylags opposite the entrance to Castle Park Golf Club, near Gifford this morning @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Scops Owl in Glamorgan last Tuesday evening, my 2nd one in the UK followed by Lesser Crested Tern in Devon the following morning @birdguides.bsky.social

BOC of the Scops at Dunvant Park from half an hour ago. My second one in the UK and showed far better than the Durham bird in 2017. A few pints now then on to Devon in the morning for the Lesser-crested Tern 🤞

Marsh Sand has now been at Musselburgh for a month, first discovered on September 6th. Spotted Redshank also still around + the Spoonbill from yesterday evening reappeared on the lagoons early this afternoon @birdinglothian.bsky.social

American Black Tern from yesterday am (31st July) at JMCP. Flew out to sea at 7am after 2 Arctic Skuas chased everything off Spike Island and never returned till 09:30 @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Dotterel still at the summit of Carnethy Hill earlier this morning (20th May) despite first being reported on the 13th @birdinglothian.bsky.social

Bit of a mad day yesterday, walked out of a hospital appointment in Edinburgh, seen the news and was north bound, heading for the Butt of Lewis for this Solitary Sandpiper. Arrived in the nick in time as it fed in a ditch, right in front of us @birdguides.bsky.social

My first Snow Bunting at Musselburgh for a few years, this one seemed very tame all by itself around lunchtime, along the sea wall to the west of the old scrapes @birdinglothian.bsky.social

First day out in 3 months after my surgery and couldn't think of a better way to spend it. Booted Eagle and Least Sand 🍻

Re-edited some shots from my trip to Israel in 2019 with Phil Jones & Andy Stirrat, quite happy with the results. Black Bush Robin was the most sought after + Blackstart and Ruppell's Warbler.

Continuing on from editing some past images, Siberian Accentor on Holy Island during the mad 2016 influx. Spanish Sparrow at Calshot, Hampshire in 2012. Pallas's Warbler at Torness, Lothian in 2016 and this cracking Spotted Crake at Doonfoot, Ayrshire in 2020.

Currently laid up after surgery a few weeks ago so not much else to do other than re visit some previous images and re-edit them. Magnolia Warbler at St Govan's Head, Pembs - Sept 2023, Myrtle Warbler at Kilwinning, Ayrshire - April 2023 and American Robin at Eastbourne, Sussex -2022
