A bridge camera is poor at flight shots so does not justice to the spectacular views of 3 Honey Buzzards at Woolbeding this morning. Showing almost constantly between 9.30 and 10. A Goshawk was a bonus year tick #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

Only took 2 attempts to catch up with the WWT Slimbridge Bluethroat this year. Remarkable and somewhat sad that it's back for its 4th year with no hope of a mate. Where does it go in winter? #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding #GlosBirds

One man's trash is another man's treasure. A little piece of #patchgold, the first House Sparrow I have recorded at Dix Pit 😂 #pwc2024 #birding

Was editing this photo and accidentally increased brightness to the max. I really like the effect. Bar-tailed Godwit at Normandy Lagoon. #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Dear BBC News (UK) we would like to know why you didn’t cover a major news event in #London yesterday. Between 60-100 THOUSAND people marched at the #RestoreNatureNow. It looks like you are picking what you think is newsworthy. Isn’t that called bias? Regards, British wildlife.

Family business took me to Kent today so managed to fit in a visit to Oare to renew my acquaintance with Old Bony, who was looking particularly smart. #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Went down to see the breeding Roseate Terns at Normandy Lagoon, first on the South coast for many years. Heat haze and vegetation made photos difficult though #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Went to look for Woodlarks (unsuccessfully) in the New Forest but another birder pointed out something better! Only the second Nightjar I've seen in the day. #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

#FirstBirdOfMyDay today also qualified as a #BirdsAtPollingStations. A Goldfinch. A bird with no blue on it. I took that as a good omen.

It was only a matter of time before I finally got a Cattle Egret at Dix. These two were in lovely breeding plumage but really tested the zoom as they were the "wrong" side of the island. A potential future breeder?.... #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

My first visit to Malaysian Borneo, not an out-and-out birding trip but still picked up some good species. Asian Glossy Starling and Javan Myna were common. #birding #Borneo #BirdsSeenIn2024

The bird that cause me most excitement in Borneo was probably this - the endangered Storm's Stork. With less than 500 wild individuals left, Sabah is its stronghold. #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

Blue-throated Bee-eaters were the default Bee-eater in Borneo but we also came across a small group of Rainbow Bee-eaters. Small numbers migrate to Sabah to avoid the Austral winter #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

A trip to the Old World tropics always brings the chance of Sunbird lifers. The three commonest Sunbirds in Malaysian Borneo. Ornate, Brown-throated and the stunning Crimson Sunbird. #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

Not surprisingly the Rhinoceros Hornbill is classed as one of the Borneo "Big 5", holding its own with the Orangutans and Proboscis Monkeys. A stonker! #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

Some Kingfishers from Borneo. Collared and Blue-eared were lifers for me. Stork-billed I'd seen before but not managed to photograph. This one tried its best to stay hidden whilst clearing out the hotel ornamental fish pond. #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

The Baird's Sandpiper at RSPB Frampton Marsh 🌍 was a challenge to pick out and spent most of the time asleep. Supporting cast of Curlew and Wood Sandpipers, Little Stint, Osprey, Merlin, Whimbrel, Spoonbills and Spotted Redshanks. Frampton always delivers! #BirdsSeenIn2024 #birding

A filthy lunchtime twitch for an Arctic Skua which was both an Oxon tick and a year tick. Unobliginly, it spent the time flying around, so crap record shot ensued #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024

Thought I was going to miss Whinchat this year so was pleased to find this one on Saturday. Such smart little birds #birding #BirdsSeenIn2024
