Seen last week, one of this 8 year old curlew's favourite haunts is up by the lighthouse at Hunstanton. Information kindly provided by @washwader.bsky.social #norfolkbirding

Wills of Wells coffee and coffee art up to usual high standard this morning. ☕️👏 #Norfolk

A windy day at Old Hunstanton from last week and best I could manage of the Bittern at Titchwell today. #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

Managed to forget the cold when I realised I’d found a white-rumped sandpiper at Titchwell this morning! #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

A second seawatch in the afternoon was quiet until late on, when 2 Arctic skua 15 kittiwake 2 little gull 4 Med gulls put in an appearance. Highlight though was undoubtedly these gulls as the sun was setting behind them. #UKbirding #Norfolkbirding

A five layer three hat morning at Hunstanton today. Highlights several GN and RTDivers, several bunches of Eider but no 'feathered' pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! #UKbirding #norfolkbirding

The day started with 4 little gulls off Hunstanton and finished with a woodcock and an elusive Pallas's warbler at Titchwell. #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

After storm Claudia yesterday I was hoping The Wash would be full of sheltering seabirds! It wasn’t to be but was content with a SEOwl and a Woodcock both in/off by the Hunstanton pier family building. 😊 (massive crops in dismal light)

Can’t understand why #BWPUC sonograms are in the purple/black colour scheme. Too often I can’t see a thing! Here’s a before/after. Took 20 seconds in the app on my phone!

Spent most of today along Titchwell's trails looking for the biggy! Sadly it wasn't to be but really enjoyed 'the hunt' anyway! One of today's 4 firecrests below. #ukbirding

Nice few hours at Holme this afternoon. Highlights being 3 Crossbill and an obliging Waxwing found by @jimlaw.bsky.social

Nice sea watch today from Hunstanton. Hard work at times in challenging conditions but great company! Most exciting moment was when a group of 5 Arctic & 2 Long-tailed skuas appeared from the east over Hunstanton and then flew directly out to sea! #ukbirding

Lesvos Day 3 Thurs. Mooch about N coast. Highlights: 85 Alpine Swift, six 6 Crag Martin, 2 Black kite, 1 Short-toed eagle 3 Marsh harrier. still hundreds SpotFlys and WillowWarblers

Lesvos Day 2: A day spent raptor watching up at Argennos. Honey buzzard, Red-footed falcon and Black Kite the highlights. #birding

Lesvos Autumn 25: first day and first rain since March/April apparently. Highlights c90 alpine swifts 4 honey buzzard 3 tawny pipit 1 red-backed shrike and a rash load of spotted flys.

After the Peregrine vs LTSkua battle I went home, made a coffee and settled down to see if a heavy shower had dropped anything into the back garden. Bingo! First garden record of Redstart! #ukbirding

1/2 This am seawatch highlight was a Peregrine hunting a wader 500m out, it takes the prey but from nowhere a Long-tailed skua appears and pursues the Peregrine! LTS forces the Peregrine to drop the prey but instead of claiming its prize the LTS just continues nonchalantly on it's way! #ukbirding

Great morning at Hunstanton with great company. Star of the show was this Cory’s Shearwater! @garyhibberd.bsky.social @andyinnorfolk.bsky.social @norfolkbirding.bsky.social @garyelts.bsky.social

Titchwell Marsh RSPB still busy with waders today. 22 species when I left with quite a few commoner species missing from that total. From the beach: 2 summer RTDiver, 2 common buzzards in/off and osprey. Hobby over Volunteer Marsh. 😀 #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

Titchwell Marsh RSPB looking great on the wader front at the moment. Pec Sand, 7 Curlew Sand, 5 Little Stint and Glossy Ibis from a quickish visit this afternoon. Missed both the phalaropes!

Pied fly by the lighthouse & Arctic Skua action offshore from Hunstanton today. Also flyby redhead Goosander. Meanwhile one of this year’s local headstarted curlews still on the pitch’n’putt. #norfolkbirding #ukbirding

A few more of today’s Ringstead Dotterel #norfolkbirding #ukbirding

Two of the four Dotterel up at Ringstead this morning. Thanks to Mark Bradbury for the call 👍#Norfolkbirding #ukbirding

In addition to trouble signing into the desktop site (given up on), I can’t work out how to make a post on the community site. So here’s my question. Is it possible to change the colours on app soundscapes from barely contrasting purple on black to easily seen black on white? #BWPUC

I am delighted, and feel privileged to have had one of my images selected by the BWPA judges for inclusion in this year's book, collection 13. Many congratulations to all of the winners.

I have so many issues and frustrations with my #BWPUC I’m on the point of throwing it in the bin! Let’s start with the very basics,how do I sign in to the desktop site and stay signed in?

Could somebody please tell me what the purpose of the BirdNET default change box is on the screenshot from the app? Many thanks. #BWPUC

Highlights from a quick visit to HolmeNWT yesterday afternoon. #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

…94393. Can’t quite get the number on this black-headed gull at Hunstanton on 19th March Anybody help please? #ukbirding @btobirds.bsky.social

Freshly arrived! LRPs at Titchwell from Weds. #ukbirding #norfolkbirding

Good morning, from the back page of Private Eye magazine!

When people say science isn’t political, point them to this story. A clear example of political interference - directing money towards a study to which we already know the answer. There is no link. www.theguardian.com/...

'Free Speech' latest.

An unusual request for the #BirdingGear feed! I knew my hearing was getting bad in last autumn’s vizmig, but it’s getting worse. Any birders out there who can recommend some decent hearing aids? Not worn any before. Help appreciated!

If the Tory party gets back into power in 2029 - with or without Reform - history will judge Labour's brief spell in office an unmitigated disaster. The Tories will be able to resume wrecking with a clean slate, courtesy of Labour ineptitude. I warned about this in 2023. medium.com/@edwinhaywar...

At least 6 colour-ringed Turnstone by the jet ski ramp at Hunstanton today but no Purple Sand (at least for me)

The December tour report from North India trip is now up and online norfolkbirding.com/a-wildlife-bir… If you would like to join us in December 2025 then please be in touch!

This app might help. You can select which of the three lenses you want to use #birdinggear apps.apple.com/gb/app/proca...

@phillgwill.bsky.social You might want to subscribe to the #norfolkbirding and #ukbirding and #birdinggear feeds. Great people, great info and great images too!

Great to see you on here Phill! Looking forward to more of your great photographs.😊

Couple of hours this morning at Titchwell Marsh RSPB. Highlights were 5 Bewick's Swans on an east/west tour of NWNorfolk. Also 5 Velvet Scoter offshore. #norfolkbirding

@washwader.bsky.social Hi guys. Please can you give a few details on this Curlew '9L' seen on 10th Jan on Hunstanton pitch'n'putt? Many thanks 😀

There's been up to eight of these guys in recent days on the Hunstanton pitch'n'putt. Sunny days best. #norfolkbirding

Got the #BWPUC going (at last) today. Mostly satisfied with results. Had Probability @20% & Confidence @50%. A few queries to follow over next few days! Will put the fluffies on the Mics tomorrow to cut down background noise.

The 6 Shorelark showed well at Old Hunstanton this morning. One of 'em just starting to grow his 'horns' #norfolkbirding

Been too busy to unpack the #BWPUC but will try and get it going tomorrow. In the meantime any recommendations for a power bank that would keep it going for a couple of days? Thanks.

Something I wrote for @ibisjournal.bsky.social to encourage birders and #ornithology peeps on the old place to come on over and enjoy breathing clean air. Whether a newbie or oldie here, probably something of use in here for you. bou.org.uk/blog-dudley-... #UKbirding #birdingScotlsnd #birdingWales

It’s arrived! Negotiations now started with MrsH as to whether it can be opened this side of Christmas!😊❤️ #BWPUC

Snack time for the Old Hunstanton Glaucous Gull! Also uncountable numbers of wrecked starfish along the tide line. #norfolkbirding

Here’s hoping Hunstanton!🤞#norfolkbirding
