Luckily, the Greater Short-toed Lark, found by Nathan Pickering at Snettisham late yesterday evening, was relocated at dawn before vanishing for several hours. A teasing glimpse late-morning stimulated further relocation efforts, with rich rewards for those who braved the rain. #NorfolkBirding

You never quite know what to expect on Fair Isle! A female Nightjar just before lunchtime, then the evening produced a Blyth’s Reed Warbler and an amazing Scops Owl, much to the delight of guests and islanders at @fairislebirdobs.bsky.social #birdingscotland

Recently I was lucky to be given this exquisite little leather-bound notebook that represents a glorious piece of Cley ornithological history. The notebook belonged to Major A.H. (Archie) Daukes. Within the pages, dating from 1949, are meticulous observational notes.

Fire at Holt Country Park. With such a dry and hot spring, we need to be aware of the risks. Hopefully any fires can be dealt with quickly.

After very distant views earlier, I was glad when Abberton’s Red-footed Falcon appeared almost over head along the path behind hide bay this a’noon. A much welcomed Abberton tick for me. Getting harassed by gulls quite often, feeding higher up when the sun was out #essexbirding
