I finally finished the 3rd & final episode in my Birding on The Canary Islands series. This 1's on Tenerife. I hope you enjoyed this 3 parter as much as I did collecting all the footage for you. Let me know what you think I hope I did the islands justice. youtu.be/-mtboVXdXGA

Booted Eagle yesterday in Cornwall. A few front on and back views. Showing the 'landing lights' either side of the head, a diagnostic feature of both morphs of Booted Eagles. Europe's smallest eagle.

02:30am start with @stevewilson1706.bsky.social!! Epic, yet tense day started with the Booted Eagle being everywhere we weren't and everyone else seeing it. Then just when we thought all was lost & talked about leaving, in it flew to giving dream views. UK ✅ @birdguides.bsky.social

Litter picking is not all doom and gloom. Kingfishers for company and a hell of a sunrise were my payment. Plus free work out happy days ... the amount of litter still sucks though.

Dyslexia: If you see a person has made a typo (which 9/10 is normally a hilarious one) don't make fun of the person OR their sentence, just inform the person of their mistake so we can all move on with our lives. I can't tell you how often I have to reread my posts on socials. 👍

I think my next birding video will be from Greyton 🇿🇦 a place I hold dear to me heart. Birding there is next level and often there's not a soul in sight you have the birding all to yourself.
