Get you answers it for this evenings #TheTwoJonnies recording - where we run down the first full week of @footit.bsky.social with our responsible adult @uforthbirder.bsky.social ♠️ #FootIt @jonnybirder.bsky.social @footit.bsky.social

How has #footit been for you so far? What have been your best birds? What have been your best finds?! What is your species count up to? How many more do you think you can get by month end? Any epic adventures so far or planned?

What a day. Do you even? ♠️ #FootIt thewrongtimebirding.blogspot.com

Titchfield: 6 Glossy Ibis still in the horse field by St Peter's Church. Other #FootIt additions today include Pintail & Chiffs. #LowCarbonBirding #PWC2026 @birdguides.bsky.social

Greenfinch, Treecreeper and Goldcrest added for #footit in the last few days. Up to 52 species. It's a loong way to 78! (In 2013 I was self employed and had a quiet month in Jan before working all Feb so I walked sooo far!). #yorkshirebirding

At least 7 Hawfinch at Rhiwderin now, in trees near the ‘swimming pond’ at c.ST263868. Also 15+ Greenfinch, Treecreeper, etc. #gwentbirding #lowcarbonbirding #footit

Back to work today. Still managed to boost the #FootIt total by 1 to 87, with overhead Pink-footed Geese heard at 5.45pm on my 10 metre commute from the office to the back door.

Only time for short pre work walk from home today. Beautiful light over the Exe Estuary. Crisp underfoot. I noticed two distant Tufted Duck flying up river as I returned. Less than annual on my home patch and a lovely addition to #FootIt (number 89). #LowCarbonBirding #Devon

Back to work this week, so fewer chances to walk or watch from the house. Current #FootIt total is 60 species. Pretty happy with that, six days in. Highlights have been White-tailed Eagle and Kingfisher. My seen within 25k of the house is at a respectable 88. With Common Scoter and WF Goose best.

Shopping ✔️ Run ✔️ Birding ✔️ FootIt ✔️✔️✔️ Needed to pick up waterproof reproofing spray. Ran to Cotswold Outdoor, ran around some fields, saw Skylarks, Linnets & Stonechats for #FootIt, ran home. Back at my desk. #FootIt 2026 now at 92. My Devon year list is 98 = dedication to birding on foot.

Today's #FootIt blog feat. @petecarroll.bsky.social and @chrisfoster.bsky.social ♠️ Full day of Foot It from pre-dawn tomorrow... there will be damage #FootIt #Damage thewrongtimebirding.blogspot.com/2026/01/foot...

Still not brave enough to run on the icy pavements so Bert 🐕 and I walked through Exeter suburbs to reach an unassuming stream. Found at least 2 Green Sandpipers but couldn’t find a Dipper. Jay, Chiffchaffs & Siskin also new for year, moving #FootIt total to 88. #LowCarbonBirding #BirdingOnFoot

A distractingly beautiful morning meant I couldn't resist a much longer walk from home than planned. Siskins *everywhere* glowing in the low sun. Lapwing and Golden Plover flocks going over bring #footit total to 47 species.

Second Foot It blog of this campaign, before I add another half day of damage. You are most welcome... ♠️ @footit.bsky.social #FootIt thewrongtimebirding.blogspot.com/2026/01/83-s...

Beautiful day to be out & about around the Exe Estuary. Day 4 of #FootIt & as expected the pace of new bird species is slowing up locally. Today’s additions were golden (Goldeneye & Golden Plover) plus Kestrel & Pheasant. Foot It list stands at 84. Tomorrow’s plan is to run to some new sites.

My third Foot It day of the year. Severe hype and chafing - in that order… ♠️ #FootIt @footit.bsky.social thewrongtimebirding.blogspot.com/2026/01/foot...

@footit.bsky.social 22.5 miles covered on #footit in the past 3days adding 61sp to the 2026 patch

58 species on a 9.4 km walk from home this morning with the dog. To start the #footit challenge. Marsh Harrier, Stonechat (3) Great black backed gull (2) GWE and Snipe being the goodies.

I set this morning intending to head to the commons to find Dartford Warbler etc for my #LowCarbonBirding #FootIt list. But I soon changed my plans due to ice ❄️ & kept to the estuary. 22k run & 5 new #FootIt bird species (total 75). Stopped by BGM to see 23 WF Geese. #Running #DevonBirds

A chilly walk round the parish with a cold weather movement of snipe, blackbirds and song thrush. Also added wigeon, teal, kestrel and buzzard #footit

A potter round produced a goody. Hawfinch(!) at Rhiwderin, initially flying around with a small flock of Chaffinch near the ‘swimming pond’ at c.ST263868 (adjacent to the Yellowthroat site), later sat up for high quality handheld phone-scoping shenanigans. #gwentbirding #lowcarbonbirding #footit

Out the front door, then almost 5 hrs investigating footpaths and habitat mainly on W side of Axminster. Pleasantly surprised at potential. Among 42 spp recorded were a few not particularly expected, like Green Sandpiper, Kingfisher, Stock Dove, Treecreeper, etc... It's a start. #FootIt #DevonBirds

Beautiful end to the day. Walked a short distance up river to look for Goosander. Bingo! One red-head under the M5 bridge. And then I sat on a step and watched the sun set. Ended the day on 80 species of bird for #FootIt. #LowCarbonBirding

After a day off yesterday, making my debut for the NOA sponsored birdwatch around Holme and Titchwell, back to #FootIt today. Walk round my usual running route yielded 5 additions, total now 86. Best were 11 Corn Buntings in amongst 80+ Yellowhammers and a drake Goosander on the cut #NorfolkBirding

Today’s 22 km walk down to Lecropt and along the River Teith gave 7 new #footit species, with the best being 1 green sandpiper, 4 red-breasted merganser and 1 golden plover. 70 km walked in the 3 days has given me 73 species.

Foot It #FootIt ♠️

First #footit walk through some farmland by the (Warwickshire) River Avon. 28 species seen, the best being Little Egret, Red Kite and c100 Wigeon. Footit total so far 30

Today's mainly a finish off stuff before (hopefully) birdy weekend, like catching up on uni reading. Had to enjoy the sun and have a wander for #FootIt and #PWC2026 though: Sandwich Tern and Med Gull new for the year off Lee on Solent 🙂 #LowCarbonBirding

A 23 km walk today to Blairdrummond GPs. Got the target of the 6 Russian white-fronted geese; a new addition to my self-powered 25km list. Added 11 other species, including brambling, to the #footit list, bring total to 66. Grabbed a coffee & cake at Boho Coffee Van in Doune. Fell into manure 😂

A brisk pre-work walk brought my #LowCarbonBirding #FootIt bird list to 70. Two White-fronted Geese were the stand out birds on Bowling Green Marsh. A covering of icy meant the hoped for additional duck species weren’t present. 📷 Spotted Redshank off the Goatwalk. #DevonBirds @footit.bsky.social

Great White Egret for #footit as well as a little cold weather movement of blackbirds and the usual suspects. Chilly out there. #yorkshirebirding

63 species at Titchfield Haven/Hill Head including 5 1/2 species of geese! 37+ White-fronted Geese on East Meadows for most of the day 🙂 #LowCarbonBirding #PWC2026

26 km walked for 81 spp. Most of the local specials went missing for the day, and I somehow managed to avoid both House Sparrow and Starling. Highlights were 16 Bewick's Swans, 2 Cattle Egrets, Marsh Tit, Peregrine, plenty of Redpolls #footit #NorfolkBirding

Happy New Notebook Day! That's the 2026 lists up and running. Took a ten mile walk from home to Kinbuck and back, and racked up 52 species. Major highlight was a juvenile White-tailed Eagle. #YearList #Footit #25k #Birding

40 sp. up river from Stamford Bridge @footit.bsky.social Lovely close view of a Chiff feeding in field/river margin. Early view of Raven pair mid-height flying down river, Goosander, 40+Siskin & a few Goldies on Alders, 5 Herons in a group feeding on Derwent, Pinks over. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Abundant Hawthorn and abundant Redwings on a 2 hour tramp from home at lunchtime. Otherwise slow going, 36 species but Redpoll and Stonechat were nice patch ticks. #footit @footit.bsky.social

Starting my #LowCarbonBirding #FootIt by pootling around home. 51 species so far including a few infrequent patch species such as Firecrest, Nuthatch & Little Grebe. #DevonBirds

Happy New Year everyone As I leave the house to start #footit my first bird of the year is blackbird, closely followed by woodpigeon, robin and carrion crow. Let the walking begin!

Happy New Year everyone! What are the first birds you are adding to #footit this morning?
