C'mon Britain, Let's say a huge thanks to Rep. Jamie Raskin for this beautiful takedown of Farrage today.

Just over the border for Saturday footie with David Gray for a Notts Senior League Div 1 match. Calverton Miners Welfare FC v Radcliffe Olympic FC The home side were 2-0 up and in control and thought they’d won it. Ended up losing 6-2

Before footie today myself and David Gray went to the Peak District in South Yorkshire to look at a well confiding Dotterel, and we weren’t disappointed. It was showing down to 15 feet, absolutely amazing views. Video by David Gray

So after a bit of birdwatching myself & David Gray went on to watch Hallam FC v Blyth Spartans and John Hague joined us so the crew was complete for the footie. It wasn’t a great game but I’ve seen a lot worse, 1-1 was I think a fair result.

Saturday footie with David Gray & John Hague was only just over the border into Nottinghamshire for a NSL Intermediate cup 1st round tie between East Leake Robins FC v Elston Utd the home side progressing into the next round winning 4-3

ORCAS!! A fabulous way to end the week watching these three Orcas heading up the east coast of the south Mainland, Shetland. Pic as they passed us close in off Compass Head this afternoon.

Nigel Farage is desperate to convince everyone that he never met Nathan Gill, the traitor who took bribes from Russia, so please don't share these.

Day 8 on Shetland. Trying to stay out of the wind today was nigh impossible & with pulses of rain didn’t make birding any better. Sandwick was fairly calm & a Long-tailed Duck was nice.But even better was at least 3 Orca’s going North from Sumburgh, we got them at Levenwick

Just a reminder that Reform’s former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, has admitted taking bribes from Russia while an MEP. Yet Reform spokespeople have suggested their leaders didn't really know Gill. So here's a few pictures of him with Nigel Farage.

Day 9 on Shetland. Lot of mist today found it not easy going, but we did connect with a nice Rustic Bunting at Hoswick also a Sibe Chiffchaff (Tristis). Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

So the Brexit Party MEP Nathan Gill took Russian Bribes. All Brexit party MEPs then voted against tackling Russian propaganda (All of them, including Farage...) Suspicious ... 🧐

Day 10 on Shetland with David Gray. Again the weather wasn’t good to us, really low clouds and mizzely rain at times. We did find 3 Slavonian Grebes off Aith Harbour, but not much else, but not for the want of trying. There’s always tomorrow.

Day 11 on Shetland with David Gray. Weather was a lot better today and even caught up with the B.w.Teal at last. Lots of waders at the Pool of Virkie and even found a G.W. Egret at Outdoor centre at Bridgend. What will our last day bring. 🤞

The deluded still walk amongst us.

Back home now after a brilliant 12 days on Shetland. As usual saw some great birds. Met the annual suspects, the West Midland crew and the London crew always a good craic and great to meet Phil Jones. To my crew Andy & David Gray thanks for the laughs, brilliant!

Howard Gayle, the first black player to ever play for the Reds, headed back to Toxteth with Curtis Jones to talk about a journey which paved the way for so many ❤️ An important part of our story, as we look to celebrate Black History Month. #RedTogether

My UK bird of the year, never thought I would walk away from a Sibe Thrush that was showing (had been watching it for an hour) 😁 Can do prints if required dm me if interested. #ShetlandSiberianTbrush

Nipped over to Eyebrook Reservoir this morning to have a look at the American Golden Plover found by Andy Makay. Showed well, though distantly from the Rutland side. Good see David Gray & Toby Carter Great find Andy 👍

LROS held another Peregrine watch this morning at Leicester Cathedral. Both adult birds showed well all morning, and it was a busy, engaging and showing a lot of people the Peregrine’s of Leicester Cathedral. #LROS #VC55 #Leicestercathedral #KRIII

My latest piece of art work by Phil Jones. A print of the Siberian Thrush we saw on Shetland earlier this month, the image doesn’t do it justice, absolutely stunning.
