My thirst has been quenched with this #portlamdica White-cheeked Tern off Fujairah. Smaller than the accompanying Common Terns, slight different flight action (yet to be formalised), darker upperparts n rump, thick smudge through secondaries on underwing and dusky belly markings #ornithology

Explored some new areas today , for me anyway and found a vocalising Lesser spot Woody 😀. The expected Firecrests were singing at several sites including two associating with the Faversham Pallas’s Warbler #kentbirding

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?
