A beautiful evening Hilbre Bird Obs 7 #Eider in the gutter and still good numbers (62) PalebelliedBrentGeese along the reef … what will tomorrow bring?

Bright day Hilbre Bird Obs although the sandstorm inducing north-westerly was more conducive for sea-watching than passerines arriving although a late pm #Blackcap looked like it had been enjoying the blackthorn pollen! Plenty of Gannets&SandwichTerns + our first Arctics (3)

Wonderful evening The White Horse Pub being fed by the amazingly talented Lisa Goodwin-Allen & the irrepressible talented Gary Usher Incredible food, usual excellent service from Jo williams & team. Even our taxi driver got in on the act! Celebrating the birth of our great niece Matilda❤️

Never forgotten. #JFT97 #YNWA

A tough afternoon at the match … but you have to pick yourself up. So we called in Allan Conlin’s on the way home and he had the #IcelandGull nailed on for us through his scope! Flighty and getting more distant but always a good bird on #Wirral thanks Al 🙏 #recordshot

A lovely couple of hours spent around HoylakeLangfields this afternoon thanks to Rich for news + directions for my first #RingOuzel of the spring & two very smart male #Whinchats plus plenty of Wheatear, WhiteWagtails, a couple of pairs of Lapwing❤️, Snipe and more …

From one beautiful island to another … (not quite 12 hours from Turk’s Head to Hilbre Bird Obs coz of a slight detour to Newquay and tide was in at 3am!). Nice fall of phylloscs (Willows&Chiffs) as we caught edge of the front including a Northern (acredula type) bird

Interesting Chiff spp singing consistently like this in Covean #StAgnes although not giving it the full bifta #IberianChiffchaff song I’ve heard on a couple of territorial birds before. Head looks interesting from this shot. Defo some Ibe in it! Great find by Brendan y’day 👍

Bonus days on #StAgnes #IslesofScilly don’t get much better than this … we are going to miss you guys! ❤️🏝️

Another bird on a Lichen-covered rock. A lovely male #Wheatear at HorsePoint yesterday #StAgnes Managed to scratch out some spring migrants with Gropper, TreePipit, CommonSand & ReedWarbler over the last few days and nice to catch up briefly with Bob Dawson 💙 Will Wagstaff & Higgo

The weather has been mixed during our trip but today was a classic #IslesofScilly day on #StAgnes ☀️❤️🏝️

VIDEO | Winds of up to 50mph combined with a spring tide of 10.1 metres have battered South Parade in West Kirby. Please be careful out there. 🌊

Spent quite some time wave watching this afternoon at #HorsePoint #StAgnes Inspired by St Agnes Niki I tried to take some photos but they just didn’t show the wave size, so I took some slow mo video instead 🌊 #bigsea

Jemma is brilliant at her job - always professional and friendly whenever she has served us. A real credit to Elite Bistros and her parents ❤️Regardless of the “review” I can’t believe people seem to go out of their way to upset staff who are serving them!

A really nice fall of migrants Hilbre Bird Obs with at least 130 Phyllocs Grasshopper Warbler, Tree Pipits, Blackcaps, 4 Ring Ouzel, Swallows, Martins, Siskin & Goldfinches as well as lots of Sandwich terns & Gannets at sea and Pink-footed geese heading out of the estuary.

After a day of #StormKathleen the skies cleared and the #PallidHarrier reappeared over the gorse between Covean and Barnaby Lane #StAgnes this evening giving prolonged views in much better light ❤️

An exciting day on #StAgnes when this 2cy #PallidHarrier appeared Wingletang side of Covean and then briefly over Barnaby Lane … before the weather closed in rapidly. Thanks to everyone for help and comments on the ID particularly given the poor photos! 🙏❤️

Another day another bird on Lichen-covered rock #GoldenPlover at Browarth #StAgnes

A male #BlackRedstart graced the area between Periglis & the beach below Hellweathers this afternoon #StAgnes

A sprinkling of lovely #Redwings across #StAgnes today including this bird on HorsePoint
