Worrying times on the Falklands, large fires on Steeple Jason, bird Island, Sea Lion Island and Johnson’s Harbour (not too far from Volunteer Point!) this summer! All important bird areas under threat as summers get drier and hotter! 1/2

When I lived there there may have been one fire per summer! I hope the cruise ships visiting the islands highlight the danger the wildlife is under from climate change! 2/2

I’m hearing it’s a big chaffinch day in east Norfolk, mid/late March vismig is one of the things I miss most about there! Here is my best chaffinch day from Hemsby ebird.org/checklist/S661…

Bird of the year! macaulaylibrary.org/asset/61732083…

 exactly 10 years and counting…. Probably take me another 20 years to reach 400 spp eBird

Pete and James are recording at 7 for Feb/March. April scores taken. This bandwagon is back rolling. If you have April scores to update, let us know

It’s been a great week visiting some old haunts, classic early June birding with BRW, MWs, RFFs, RBSs and monties hanging around! Early June was one of my favourite times of the year at Hemsby and it’s still producing @lowcarbonbirder

Game on!

Delighted to have received the latest issue of Neotropical Birding! Get your copy from this weekend. Vagrant finding on wet, windy remote islands might catch on here too… #vagrancy #Falklands

834 Cory’s in the last hour of light was just rewards for having to listen to Garry Taylor 🇪🇺 the whole time…

SW storm and PG all to myself this evening!

Pre breakfast helping of large shears to start the day

Amazing to have bays like this to ourselves with only wryneck, whinchats and wheatears for company

Ybw in the garden yesterday, white stork over the house today. No need to leave the desk…

Thousands of hirundines moving east over the sea and house this evening, an amazing spectacle!

Had a fantastic couple months helping out with a wee bit of this in the Falklands, can’t wait to see the final edit! youtu.be/Q79wgkLGeM4?si…

14 years ago today saw the demise of the home to many a good bird, including my only blocker, after 3 days in 15m waves! #RIPpoofiler #PRB

Made the right choice when trying to find a sheltered walk this lunchtime

The beast of PG doesn’t think much of Cornish hedges!
