Another day, another bold wader. This juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper was quite content feeding on the excess of invertebrates along the shoreline around us. macaulaylibrary.org/asset/643444040

As promised, few more photos of the confiding juvenile Baird's Sandpiper at Rutland Water. The love for American Waders here in the UK reached a new level with this bird. More photos on eBird - ebird.org/checklist/S278…

Couldn’t really ask for better views, the juvenile Baird's Sandpiper showed very well yesterday in the afternoon light. Laying in goose droppings was worth it. More photos to come, who needs a Needletail anyway...

Nice to see the Least Sandpiper again at Stilt Pool with @tcartz.bsky.social #ukbirding #birds #sussexbirding

Great views of Cirl Buntings yesterday during a quick visit to RSPB Labrador Bay. ebird.org/checklist/S2... 🪶 #birds

When driving within 3 miles of a showy Glossy Ibis, it'd be rude not to pop in. Lovely views of this individual at Rhuddlan, North Wales last week. ebird.org/checklist/S2... #birds 🪶

There's something about a male Black Redstart, top tier bird for sure. This individual was on the Great Orme around the copper mine earlier this week. #birds 🪶

The long-staying female Ring-necked Duck was showing well yesterday afternoon at Lisvane Reservoir. #birds 🪶 #ducks

Bit of Owl action this afternoon with the star being 2 Long-eared Owls along with Short-eared, Barn & Tawny also noted. Topped off with 7 Cranes over the Nene Washes. #birds 🪶

Great views of the male Desert Wheatear at Pendine yesterday afternoon, species I've wanted to see in the UK for some time. 🪶 ##UKBIRDING

Handy work trip to Norfolk meant jamming in on this juvenile Glaucous Gull at Cley Coastguards. Cracking brute of a bird. 🪶 #Birds #UKBirding #Norfolk

Watching these Purple Sandpipers squabble amongst themselves during a high tide roost this afternoon. Such smart, little waders. #Birds 🪶 #Wales #UKBirding

Treated to some lovely views of Crested Tit today in the Cairngorms, several birds present in this flock as they moved through the woodland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌲🪶 #Birds #Scotland #Cairngorms

Not often you get such close views of a Red-necked Grebe, this individual at Rutland Water showed very well in breezy conditions earlier this week. #UKBirding #Birds

Watching this brute of a juvenile Glaucous Gull defend it's seal carcass from local Herring Gulls gave for some great flight views yesterday. #Birding #UKBirding #Norfolk

Trip down to Somerset with the returning drake Baikal Teal at Greylake being the highlight, on both visits today it just slept despite the constant presence of a Merlin. Elsewhere this Glossy Ibis was unexpected with a flock of Cattle Egrets.

Good views of both Tundra Bean & Russian White-front this morning in North Norfolk, 5 Shore Lark & 6 Snow Bunt at Holkham before ending at Warham for the Pallid Harrier & 2 Hen Harriers.

Spending the afternoon watching Shore Larks in golden light ✨️ #UKbirding #birds

I'm just working through a photo backlog, looking for new images for our Birdquest website. Here's one that brightened my morning... a brilliant male Bar-bellied Pitta from #Vietnam. They don't come much brighter than this! #Birding #BirdPhotography

One of the iconic birds that inhabits the Danube Delta, Great White Pelicans. Saw 100s of these large birds whilst exploring the delta on a boat back in the summer 🇷🇴 #birds #nature #wildlife

Major highlight from a recent trip to Fuerteventura on the Canary Islands - African Houbara. Very fortunate to get such close views. #birds #wildlife #photography #nature

Glad the drake Long-tailed Duck at Thornton Reservoir stayed, lovely views this morning & an overdue county tick. #Birds #UKBirds #UKBirding #Ducks

First post on this new platform, great views earlier this week of this Long-eared Owl. One of 3 present at Eldernell, Cambridgeshire.
