Watercolour of the 2020 White’s Thrush at Holland, North Ronaldsay. Wasn’t there that year but the experience of seeing two of these beasts in 2022 will forever be etched into my brain. Amazing birds!

A great week on Bardsey, slightly hampered by the wind, but good to get my fix of Stormies, Manxies, Rock pipits and a bonus Shag chick

Out #birding in #SouthCarolina #USA when I noticed a strange bird flying low over the road - Great Shearwater! Approx 20 miles from the sea, and must have been blown in by #StormDebby #BirdsSeenIn2024

We hope you like this 90second video of Zino’s Petrels recorded 3 August 2024 on the mountain tops of #Madeira. Quite windy conditions that night, with sound recorded separately. With thanks to Wind Birds and Michael Begg!

This year our tagged #seabirds are named after / by City of New Bedford schools! Here are some of our long distance travelers so far. Great shearwaters Hathaway hanging out on the east side of the Atlantic and Sailor foraging on the Grand Banks! #trackseabirds #birds #BirdsOfTwitter

Fruitful morning to say the least, testing the new tripod at Rame Head 0600-1030: 300+ Manxies; 15 Bal; 9 Great; 2 Corys; 1 Sooty; 1 Stormie; Fulmar; BlueFin Tuna; Commy Dolphin and porpoises! BirdGuides

Swift faces in nest entrances drawn life size. Very small (12x9cm) sketchbook project this summer. jonathanpomroy.co.uk

Nice little session with the Slapton team this AM. Love a Gropper

This beautiful partial leucistic Meadow Pipit was worth the early morning drive over to Corfe Castle this morning.

We are now in to Manx Shearwater fledging season, when some of the 360,000 or so juveniles from Skomer Island, Skokholm Island, RSPB Ramsey Island & Midland, get confused and head to the mainland rather than out to sea. 1/2

First tag of the season retrieved!!! 😄🎉🌊 a very exciting moment indeed. The first incubation-stage foraging track to be recorded from a #Faroese Storm-petrel - worth all the immense effort that it takes! Fingers crossed for more now! SEAGHOSTS Rob Thomas

7 1cy Nightjar caught last night and this morning. A definite push of birds with more seen and more missed with plenty around the Ottenby area. Another attempt tonight 🤞🏻

Another 7 ringed this morning ⭐️ some heavy, well-padded individuals amongst them

+1 Nightjar this am. Clearly a great year for Convolvulus also, some mornings up to 10 found in the Ottenby Bird Observatory heligolands

シギチシーズンも後半、シギチドリの作品を続けて出していきます。サルハマシギ、2022年。再掲。左が雌、右は雄。羽衣的には夏よりも春の感じ。

3 main highlights from this mornings standardised trapping. 406 birds overall. A great morning 🤩

After this morning, something told me to do some dazzeling this evening… definitely didnt disappoint with this Pec sand 🤩

Patricia Homonylo, from Canada, was declared the 2024 Bird Photographer of the Year for her thought-provoking image ‘When Worlds Collide’. The photograph shows birds killed by colliding with windows and other reflective surfaces in urban areas.

Results from a recent DNA-analysis of some odd Lesser Whitethroats from the last years was just returned. The star bird - a dark and heavy billed C. c. althaea - represents the third record for Europe! #ottenby #birdringing #birdbanding #birdmigration
