Most things overshadowed by the penduline tit found yesterday, but there was a trickle of #vismig yesterday from aust. Frustrating was a probable Richard’s pipit that went over calling NE but I couldn’t get on the bird. Few groups of crossbills were nice! #ukbirding

Having dipped the Severnside patch penduline by literal minutes yesterday I was delighted to see it was still there this morning! Patch mega! #ukbirding #patchbirding

Odd couple of days on Severnside - 2 black reds around along with a very late 1w common redstart, a firecrest today plus a little stint, and a whinchat seen yesterday! @severnsidebirds.bsky.social #ukbirding

Few bits and pieces of interest on the Severnside patch the last few days - best was a male bearded bit briefly at the wetland this morning along with an odd goosander, also in the last few days a db Brent and a late common redstart (still present today) at Severn beach #ukbirding

Decent (!) day 1 on Scilly with a clean up job on Agnes - mourning dove present and correct, plus absurdly showy hoopoe, American pipit, spot sand and lap bunt. Not a bad start with @matthall95.bsky.social @oscardewhurst.bsky.social #ukbirding

Missed a patch ybw yesterday but there has been a little wader turnover on pilning wetland the last few days, 2 smart juv little stints this morning were new along with 8 juv curlew sands #ukbirding

A brief patch foray today with @matthall95.bsky.social and @oscardewhurst.bsky.social produced a few birds - glossy ibis still around briefly, 2+ curlew sand, 2 golden plover, grey plover, 2 wheatear, vismigging crossbills and increasing numbers of wildfowl. Missed the spotshank #ukbirding

If carlsberg did Severn estuary patch seawatches: sooty shear (last one 1974), juv sabines, grey phal, 4 leachs petrels, 3 euro storm, razorbill, black tern, 4 common tern, 8 kitts, double figure Manx plus curlew sands 🤯! #ukbirding

Monster pickup by @matthall95.bsky.social 10 mins ago with a sooty shear off Severn beach @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding

Severn beach since 0945 - at least 2 leachs, 1 euro stormie, double figure Manx, 1 razorbill, 1 black tern, 3 common tern, 2 other commic @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding

Bit of curlew sand video from this morning #ukbirding

Big Severnside tide today and stacks of birds with @matthall95.bsky.social and @j-dunning.net - at least 24 juv curlew sands (other had more), 4 juv little stint (inc a rather grey one), 1 ruff, 2 knot, 4 common sand, 4 blackwit, 6 pintail, 4 wigeon and an adult hobby through SW #birding

3 Jack snipe still at pilning wetland this morning, water pipit, 2 smart white wags, at least 4 LRP and 14 avocet @bristolbirding.bsky.social #ukbirding

Another big kittiwake day on the Severn today - 1300+ NE over the whole day with intermittent coverage, I had 830+ this afternoon, plus 58 db brents sat on the river at Severn beach and my first 2 grey plover of the spring #ukbirding @severnsidebirds.bsky.social

One swallow and 3 sand martin through Severnside airspace this morning. 5 LRP, 2 Jack snipe present on butts but not really viewable from sea wall #ukbirding

My 5 year old made this a few months ago telling me we were going to win a trophy this season. Yesterday he got to go to school proud as punch with his toon top under his uniform and his teacher just let him wear it all day. Thank you Eddie and the lads, words can’t express what Sunday meant #NUFC

2 hawfinches over 0850 and landed in a tree briefly on great brockeridge just off falcondale road before flying off towards the downs!!! Not hallucinating after yesterday’s shenanigans i promise! 🖤🤍🖤🤍 @bristolbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Difficult to see how this afternoon could have gone any worse tbh #NUFC

Absolutely brain dead stuff from Gordon. Peak nufc. Pope last time, Gordon this time. We are not allowed nice things…#NUFC

That isak pen is comedy on a rewatch. Sels chipped on his line 😂 The sels we used to know and think was shite 😂 #NUFC

Textbook stuff. Fan base giving Jacob pelters and then he promptly thighs one in 😂 #NUFC

YOUR CARABAO CUP FINALISTS 😍

Is this what haaland meant when he said stay humble…😂 🎣 #NUFC

Least sandpiper still at steart from quantock hide. Taken me a while to find some time to go see it, glad it stuck around this long! @birdguides.bsky.social #ukbirding

Newcastle United strongly condemns the appalling racist abuse received by Joe Willock on Instagram on Saturday evening. There is no room for racism anywhere. Joe has been given the club's full support and we will continue to do all we can to ensure the welfare of our players, staff and supporters.

"YES, SANDY!" 👏🇮🇹

Not NUFC’s best day. Bournemouth were brilliant. 4th still so no need to scream disaster… Me for @tfnufc.bsky.social tf1892.substack.com/p/tf-match-r...

Well deserved from Bournemouth. We were outplayed. We looked a bit leggy but can’t whinge too much given their injury problems. Not much to do other than draw a line under it and get a response next week #NUFC

Alexander Isak, Newcastle United 2024/25 11 goals in eight consecutive Premier League games for Isak, who now has the highest non-penalty goals per 90 rate (0.80) in the Premier League this season

Eddie’s mags March on!! Good set of results generally (shame spurs couldn’t get something). Sandro tonali is an unreal footballer. Makes the Duracell bunny look lazy 😂 #NUFC

'It could have broken him... but it made him' 🇮🇹 ⚪️ The Milan missions #nufc ⚫️ From tears in boardroom to 'exactly what we thought he could do' ⚪️ Why Eddie Howe waited for 'perfect moment' How 'incredible' Sandro Tonali transformed #nufc season 👇 inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Osula take a bow son. Magnificent. Never wanted someone to get his first goal more! #NUFC

Eddie could have spared a thought for my blood pressure when he decided to fully commit to parking the bus at about 60 mins #NUFC

Inject this away performance. We’ve been magnificent #NUFC

The Brighton pen is worth a watch. The Lego head meltdown could be legendary 😂

UNITED 😍

Anges post match has that miserable and delusional demeanour of a man under severe pressure 😂 #NUFC

Not sure a month ago I’d have believed you if you’d said we’d take 6 points from manure and spuds away #NUFC

WHO'S THAT TEAM WE CALL UNIIIITED? 🔥

This team! 😍

Cracking set of results tonight. Good game management second half though would have been nice to get a third. Only black mark the schar suspension for spuds #NUFC

We are battering them. Training game vibes. Embarrassing stuff if you’re a Man U fan tbh. Odds on Ruben interim getting sacked before the end of the season tumbling #NUFC #MUFC

Gulf in class all over the pitch currently #NUFC

Something I wrote for @tfnufc.bsky.social on why #nufc supporters should give kindness a go. open.substack.com/pub/tf1892/p...

Was looking at it last night, though within this season is a better comp imho. One of the reasons I think Howe is more comfortable with Tonali at 6 rather than previously is: - time at #nufc & in the EPL - match fitness/sharpness rebuilt after a year out - improved buildup options 1/

“Freedom within a structure is always the optimum for me. You can give players too much freedom and it becomes a mess,” said Eddie Howe after the 4-0 victory against Ipswich Town. Piece on how the freedom of Newcastle's No 6 is helping their attack this season. #NUFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/602...

GEORDIE BOYS! 😍

Thoughts and prayers with Morgan Rogers hope he manages to recover from that brutal head injury over half time 🙄 #NUFC

No surprise that the toon hitting form corresponds to Sandro and Bruno finally clicking. And the former starting every game. Lovely early Christmas present! #NUFC

Sandro 😍😍😍 #NUFC
