BLUE-WINGED PITTA!!! Way better than I expected!!! So much better finding (well observing my own, cause I mean the bird was alive before I saw it) your own. Observed a pair breeding too at a new site was magic #ornithology #BirdingThailand #BirdersForPalestine

So I return to Bang Khaem, Nakhon Pathom today and there’s not just one River Lapwing but FOUR!!!! 4!!!! Plus at least 477 Small Pratincoles…. Just so dreamy there #BirdingThailand #Ornithology #BirdersForPalestine

Find when Great Bustard hunting and it was a joyous event #ornithology #BirdersForPalestine

A fantastic morning on the patch, this crippling male Red backed shrike hopped out in front of me on fox hill down, Langdon cliffs. Later whilst watching it with a small crowd, a female Red foot came over low and continued North,picked up by Paul Holt. #kentbirding #ukrarebirds

One of the things I love about Bluesky and the Feeds function, you see stuff you wouldn’t see on Twitter, pretty much ever. And I love seeing active bird clubs using social media so well like this. I’m sure they were active on TW but I just didn’t see it.

Tomorrow free bird walk!!! Victoria Park, London 7th December 2024 10am until 1230pm - meet at V&A building #Ornithology #BirdwatchingLondon #BirdersForPalestine Come and enjoy it perhaps we’ll see one of Sparrowhawks?
