As the famous song goes "There's a Least Sandpiper on my shoulder" Came across this on Youtube (TV screen grab) taken during a seabird/whale watching boat-trip off the coast of Maine, USA. They said that occasional passage migrants land on the boat, but this was a first! Wow 😲

Stonechat this morning at Hollowell Reservoir. Having checked photos from yesterday, this bird was actually here then, but I overlooked it (brief view only!). First of this autumn. #northantsbirds

The same species today (Tawny Frogmouth) at roost near Lee Point, NT, Australia. Night birds are just so different seeing them at sleepy daytime roosts and alert at nighttime. ⁦Vaughan Ashby⁩ ⁦Lyn Griffiths⁩ ⁦Rafael Mitchell⁩ ⁦Barry Wright

Still tweaking the multitude of settings on the R5ii but happy with my shots of the confiding White-rumped Sandpiper at Titchwell this morning

Swainson's Thrush on #StKilda this afternoon! A first for the island, and a belter of a find to share with Will Miles, a matter of hours after his arrival! Also a 6th American vagrant of the year! Outer Hebrides Birds BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK National Trust for Scotland

Steppe Grey Shrike at Winterfield Golf Course this afternoon. The bird showed superbly for most of the time but strong/harsh sunlight made photographing it pretty tricky. Was glad it flew low into this gorse and made things easier Birding Lothian
