Crazy leucistic adult Pectoral Sand (Snowpiper..) from this w/e in southern Georgia.. have only ever seen one leucistic wader before from memory - any stats on occurence among shorebirds? Wader Study Graham Appleton
This blog from Alicia Hayden is too important to be missed. It is the most moving, strong, devastating and uplifting piece and should be read by all in the birding world. Support from juliet vickery & the people team BTO is outstanding bto.org/community/blog…
There’s been loads of Caspian Gulls around while I was away on holiday, so pleasing to finally catch up with a juvenile in Boulmer Haven this evening Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club

Seawatching from Howick earlier - hard work due to poor visibility in mist and drizzle, but pleased with my first Balearic Shearwater since 2022 Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club
Cullernose Point 0910-1100 hrs - nothing rare, but shearwatertastic with 86 Sooty & 702 Manx. Also 2 Bonxie, 1 Arctic Skua, c220 comic terns, 1 Whimbrel. All too distant to photograph, so here’s the Gannets feeding just offshore Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club
Epic seawatching - a five shearwater day in Northumberland! T-shirt weather too! Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club
