A year before David McKee died, he sent me this Fabulous picture of Mr Benn. Even as an elderly gent, you can see Mr Benn still enjoying his adventures in the sunshine.

Nice!!

Crikey!

Nice to be back home in Dhaka. Local birding quiet but Yellow-browed Warblers now on winter territories and a bit easier to see therefore

Black-headed Bunting, imm. male, Padma River Bridge chars, 10 Jan 2025. One of three seen - but no sign of Yellow-breasted Buntings of a few weeks ago. Bonus flock of c150 Mongolian Short-toed Larks

A grand day around Cox's Bazar, BD, out on Saturday for Global Big Day. Almost last bird of the day as we reached the dock was this rather spiffing Chinese Pond Heron. Less than 20 records in Bangladesh.
