Some of my better efforts of the Least Sandpiper @wwtworldwide.bsky.social Start Marshes, taken on Friday. Very happy to have seen the bird and especially pleased to grab a flight shot. #UKbirding #RareBirdUK

Managed to get over and see the Turkestan Shrike y’day at Dunwich. As always with Shrikes an absolute cracker… #rarebirduk

The adult Iceland Gull keeping an eye on us as it peruses the recycling centre at Brunswick Industrail Estate, Northumberland.

The returning adult Yellow-Legged Gull at Redcar Tarn at the start of the month.

Looking more like one now!

The morning sun catching the Dark-breasted Barn Owl, whilst the trees behind remain in shadow. One of the best ones I've taken so far, of this great bird. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com #DarkBreastedBarnOwl #BarnOwl #RareBirdUK #BirdPhotography #WildlifePhotographyUK #BirdingUK

South Devon's #DesertWheatear hunkered down in gorse on a clifftop at #BolberryDown yesterday. By 1.00pm it had dried out a little in the strong wind. #DevonBirds #UKBirding @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #RareBirdUK

Some Bird Magic — the Rutland Baird’s Sandpiper pulls a classic disappearing act… straight up the barrel of a camera lens! Maybe a bit of overkill on the size of lens required! 🎩🔫📸 #ukbirding #BirdingUK #RareBirdUK

An incredible wild goose chase the past 2 days with @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social!

10,000s of Barnacle Geese around WWT Caerlaverock, 43 Taiga Bean Geese at Slamannan and, finally, the Ross's Goose in Ayrshire.

Earlier in the month, Dad and I visited the Suffolk coast. Of course the Zitting Cisticola was the highlight but the showy young Black Stork gave outrageous views. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com

‘Pallas's Warbler in Sycamore’

gouache, 20 x 14 cms

A number of these petite and lively warblers have arrived in the U.K. in the past week after flying all the way from east Asia. A few are usually found in late autumn on the coast or offshore islands. #pallas'swarbler #rarebirduk

Starting with a new year walk around Wigtown D&G although the weather was a bit changeable. Birding highlights were Merlin and American Wigeon at the RSPB Crook of Baldoon ##birdingscotland #rarebirduk

The ABA picking Horned Lark as bird of the year made me go back and look out the notes on the 2001 Tresco Horned Lark that subsequently became the first for Britain (and gave me and T'other Half a very late wedding present in the shape of a first for Britain). #Birds #UKbirding #RareBirdUK
