Really chuffed to find this darker edged bee-fly at Rhuddlan nature reserve today 😍. Lots of chiffchaff singing everywhere and pollinators busy pollinating and just had to get a snap of this very neat looking collared dove 😊

Mixed weather up the north Wales moors today but always something to see😊. Male Hen Harrier up the Aled with wheatear Reed bunting red kite kestrels gadwall then a brilliant Goshawk on the hunt in clocaenog forest clearfell 👌.

Little crake, Cyprus wheatear, green sandpiper and a long Legged buzzard from yesterday's birding adventure in Cyprus. Thanks to colin gittins for showing us some great habitats 👌

Common Emerald Dove or Asian Emerald Dove ✅. Lucky timing on this. It flew in front of me as I arrived at a nature trail. Stunning bird. Looked like an AI generated bird 😂. As usual, I now get a bit of 4K footage if I get the chance youtu.be/W_5kvRDAGwA?si…

Cretzschmar's Bunting, Corn Bunting, Great Spotted Cuckoo and Isabilline Wheatear 😊👌Cyprus epic birding island.

Early start in Cyprus today. Seen a familiar Northern Wheatear on paphos beach. Then heading upto Mavrokolympos reseviour and finding this smart Hooded Wheatear😊👌. And then finishing the day off with this fine Cyprus Wheatear. 🤞 For an Isy tomo

Cyprus warbler, blue rock thrush, yellow wagtails and hoopoe's galore. Eyes and arms are tired from so much birding 😂. I never thought it was possible, but a holiday is required 😂

Glossy ibis, purple heron, spur-winged lapwing with peregrine causing chaos at Akrotiri marshes Cyprus. Elite birding site!! 😎😊

With the warmer weather lately, we are seeing more male Adders apearing around RSPB Minsmere 🌍 especially on the sand martin bank. Today there were the usual three including the black adder, and if you look carefully at the eyes, you will see they are about to shed their skin.

Wow! A western black-eared wheatear. Paphos headland yesterday. When trying to ID the merlin app wouldn't suggest this bird should be here at this time. So guessing this was a very lucky spot! 😊😍👌

Rupell's. Sardinian warbler and Chiffchaff today at Paphos Archaeological site

Couldn't get close to getting snaps of these Sardinian Warblers in Menorca last year. Not so illusive in Cyprus without olive trees to hide in 😂. Cracking birds snapped them yesterday and today😊

Unbelievable day birding in Cyprus paphos headland this morning. Difficult to name and ID them all. Im guessing these are all western yellow wagtails. But they all look. Different😂The British Nature Guide NatureUK RSPB Iolo Williams #nature #wildlife #TwitterNature

Cracking birds I can actually ID from the paphos headland today 😊👌

Again and again and again! FFS 🤬🤬🤬

This is what Wrexham lager was I’ll let you all know later what it has become
