Aberdeen - Shetland ferry tonight, lots of fog and this House Martin appeared when we were well out #birdsonboats ⛴

Pink is back this season! Rosy Starling sightings have been increasing this past week, mainly in northern Italy and southwestern France. data.biolovision.net/index.php?m_id…

You thought #BirdsOnBoats was impressive, how about #BatsOnPlanes

Beats any frame filler hands down 😍

A sure sign of 'autumn' migration kicking in - the first juvenile Black-headed Gull on the beach here at #Filey this evening. Such beautiful birds, too....

And that's a good thing! Light rain at night brought some of the best #nocmig nights in Brussels.

Here they come 😄 first juv Red-backed Shrike of the autumn this afternoon, bring it on.... Fair Isle Bird Observatory

WHAT IS THIS 😱😱😵‍💫😵‍💫

Figure showing the wing beat frequencies of songbirds detected by radar from august - October 7 in the Netherlands. Small songbirds dominated aug-sep, thrushes (manly songthrush) the night from October 7-8, Judy Shamoun-Baranes Trektellen.org @j_vanbruggen

15242 roosting gulls (mainly black-headed with common, herring and caspian) forming a cute little heart at the CCB quarry (Tournai) on Saturday evening. Just before a Eurasian eagle-owl started singing openly from the top of a poplar. Quite an atmosphere!

Ringed in 2008, still flying around. Ringed in the port of Zeebruges, but hasn't been seen there since 2014. Spends its time in Koksijde (BE) with occasional holidays in Vlissingen (NL). 109 sightings along its life, last one in October, same place. Have a nice spring KN•AT

Surveys by Peter Howlett for MARINElife on Peltic surveys provide more proof that thousands of Woodpigeons cross the Channel in Autumn: England to France. Many flocks visible on radar, all south, at 30mph speed, with 1.6k seen 15m N Alderney 31/10 & 10-20k 20m SW Guernsey 26/10

In the past five years I have ringed 34 Long-eared Owls. They are rare in Wiltshire so these totals are pretty amazing. We ringed this female in Jan 2023 and in March 2025 she was retrapped by a ringer in Finland - only the 4th 'LEO' ringed in the UK to be recovered in Finland!

My most bizarre observation this year. On Öland for late autumn birding. Walked along the eastern coast this morning and heard a sharp call I couldn't place, eventually found a passerine high in the sky. A migrating Dipper! #BirdsSeenIn2025 #birdwatching BirdLife Sverige
