I love Swifts so was really pleased to get everything fall into place yesterday when the Winterton Pallid Swift treated me to a close flyby, and the sun made a brief appearance. I wish it well when it finally moves on. BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK Norfolk Bird Records RSPB

Amazing shot! I think this pallid needs to head South now though 🤔 cold weather coming.

Also great to meet up with Merv again, always a pleasure spending time birding with him.

Finally managed at the 3rd time of asking to get decent views of the elusive #blackthroatedthrush tophilllow #BirdsOfTwitter The British Nature Guide #BirdsSeenIn2023 #phonescoping #iPhone15ProMax #Swarovski

Went back to Finningley yesterday for the Black-winged Pratincole and after a couple of hours had given up seeing it. Just before I arrived back at my car I noticed some birders looking at the water near the first yellow gates. Bingo there it was...

Ortolan Bunting (female) 📷 Apparently paired up with Yellowhammer & has been seen carrying nesting material 😮 Possibly now incubating, which may explain sightings every 2hrs or so, as it leaves nest for drink / eats 🤷‍♂️ British Birds BTO NorthYorksBirdNews #Wykeham 26 Jun 2025

Ohh lawd!!! White-throated Needletail showing a bit well at RSPB Bempton Cliffs at the moment RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

White-throated Needletail A few more photos of this bird showing very well over Scarborough Castle on Fri 10 Oct 2025. We considered ourselves to be very lucky to get such great views of this highly prized vagrant to the UK. RareBirdAlertUK NorthYorksBirdNews #BirdsSeenIn2025

White-throated Needletail has been in my dreams for as long as I can remember birding! Having missed it yesterday, it exceeded all expectations this lunchtime with an extraordinary display over Scarborough Castle. #BirdsSeenIn2025

Does it get much better than this? 🤯🤯 Absolutely incredible scenes yesterday at Scarborough Castle as the White-throated Needletail dominated the skies right above our heads! What birding dreams are made of ❤️ #Kingofthecastle 🏰 #Kingoftheskies 👑
