Absolutely loved seeing these two 1st winter Caspian Gulls together tonight on the North. For all the cachinnans I've seen here over the last 30 years, I don't often see Caspo side-by-side, so this was a real Larid treat.
Love it!

Like many others enjoyed the two Pallid Swifts and Dusky Warbler at Foreness Point this morning, no opportunity for frame filling photos unfortunately as the birds were high over the housing estate but pleased to get a few shots with both in the frame #ukbirding

Fantastic morning up the cliffs. Picked up a Pallid swift first thing over eastern docks, Dover harbour for 5-10 mins before moving NE then a point blank Pallas’s warbler in Langdon hole . Edited pics on the blog later www.perdixbirding.com #rarebirdsuk #kentbirdng

A ripping ringing day at the Bill: the Black-faced Bunting a top notch rare but 45 Goldcrests also an exceptional total for November out of the day total of 108 new birds; Skylark a rarely-ringed highlight amongst the lower totals.

Today's Caspian Gull near Sizewell has to be one of the best looking (most "traditional" looking) cachinnans I've seen in a long while, a sensational looking big male. Here he is throwing some shapes (unimpressed pseudo (?) heinei, dark mantled Common Gull looking on).

At the back end of the 90s, when Caspian Gull was still a very scarce species, Richard Millington & I would travel to the pig fields of Suffolk, honing our cachinnans ID skills. All change now of course, but it was great to scan fields again today: this magnificent adult made my day.

Greenland Whitefront in the morning at Hayle. Swift (sp) in the afternoon at the Tate in St Ives. Thanks to James M for finding it. Seen heading east over the Island at dusk but it might roost on the church as an Alpine did a couple of years back. Will look for it tomorrow #cornwallbirding

Why are Procellariiform seabirds most diverse in the Southern Hemisphere?
Our study found that wind patterns and time since evolutionary origin best explain the extratropical peak in breeding species richness of these remarkable seabirds. 🐦💨

In cooperation with RWE, we proudly announce the installation of the first #MOTUS station in an offshore wind farm (Amrumbank West) in Germany and in Europe. This will help to fill key knowledge gaps in offshore environmental monitoring. We were supported by our colleagues from Wind Energy Systems

Last one, you can also set up eBird Patches e.g. all locations that you bird around your village and eBird will keep a tally of species seen in that Patch during the month, year or ever. It’ll even allow you to compare your patch totals with others in your county or country #eBird #birdingScotland
