Lovely to hear so many singing black caps after the hail on Saturday at aberthaw. Trying to get a pic of one was a bit challenging but I did see my first willow warbler of the year and managed a quick snap in some decent light. #birds🪶 #birdingwales #Naturephotography #UKwildlife #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Do you care enough about your garden birds to change? Many birders, myself included, began changing our garden bird feeding habits some years ago to reduce the risk of killing the birds we attract to our gardens. But I wonder how many people will be #bovvered? #birdingWales #birdingScotland

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with wings open on the Floor/Water but not flying. How about this grey #heron soaking up some rays... #birdphotography #ukwildlife

What better way is there to spend the Easter 🐣 🐣🐣 weekend than birdwatching, and hopefully finding and recording rare breeding birds to help their conservation? There’s lots to look for in April, so here’s some ideas from RBBP Secretary @markaeaton.bsky.social #ornithology #UKbirding

Heading to Tenby tomorrow to hopefully see some more beautiful sea birds, so here's an early one for #FlyDay 🪶 Gannet taken on Saunders foot beach last weekend. Have a great bank holiday👍 #birds #birdingwales #Naturephotography #Birdphotography #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A walk from Saunders foot to Wiseman's bridge today produced gannets, sandwich turns and 4 quite distant divers seen together at times. Would I be right saying that one or more of these are red throated divers? Any help to ID much appreciated 👍 #birdingwales #UKbirding #birdsSeenIn2026

For information the boardwalk at RSPB Gwernffrwd Dinas is now fully open. Had a cracking view of a Marsh Tit there. #BirdingWales

Another image from my evening visit to the Sand Martins at Sandy Water Park. Pretty chuffed with these first efforts and can see myself spending a lot more time with them in the near future. #birdingWales #UKWildlife #birds #birdsSeenIn2026

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) 20 December 2025. Mosman, New South Wales, Australia. This largest of the world's kingfishers endemic to eastern Australia where they are common and conspicuous in wooded habitats. Their loud laughing cries make a nice morning alarm clock. #Birds

Thank you to @birdsinwales.bsky.social for supporting our Willow Tit Project. With help from WOS we are able to purchase trail cameras and endoscopic equipment to greatly assist in research and data collection. Some highlights from this pair today excavating one of our specialist nest boxes.
