November 28th: UK FIRST RECORDS: 🥇 Cabot's Tern Thalasseus sandvicensis acuflavidus A 1st winter found dead at New House Wood, Herefordshire on November 28th 1984 was ringed as a pullus near Beaufort, North Carolina, USA on 25th June 1984. #UKrares #rarebirdsUK #UKbirding

Hume’s Leaf Warbler is a variable bird. The 3 currently inhabiting Holkham NNR all look different. The two I found on 16th: a grey/greenish rather scruffy bird (top left), & a buff/cream clean bird (top right) & Ash Saunders’ Wells bird is grey with contrasting green secondary edges #NorfolkBirding

Gotta love Shrikes.

We caught up with our first Lincolnshire Glaucous Gull this morning, which took us to 200 species for the County this year. Thanks @mikepilsworth.bsky.social for finding and getting news out. #UKBirding #LincsBirding

When I drive around the island I get sheep in the road. Others though get Franklin’s Gull blocking their way. Vatersay, Caolas this afternoon

An unexpected twist to a walk looking for Dipper on the Horton Burn! This Little Bittern was discovered late morning at North Shields in a bit of a sorry state. Pictured here at handover to a rescue team. Looking healthy (and drier), hopefully it will recuperate overnight for a release… #NEbirding

Not quite a 'frame filler' but personal lifelong sought after species and bird of the year for me... so far only bird that could beat it is a pukka White Morph GYR.

As usual it seems I've totally failed at finding my own birds during my visit to Portland but at least managed to connect with this Pallas's Warbler at Avalanche Road this morning - a particularly difficult individual to see and photograph well #ukbirding
