The female type Ruddy Duck was showing well at Leathes Ham, Lowestoft this morning. I had it all to myself at the time. #SuffolkBirds. #UKBirding

There's something indescribably exciting about encountering black and white male Pied Flycatchers on their spring migration. This bird was found on Sunday flycatching in the Quarry from the lichen-clad boulders normally home to thousands of Storm Petrels.

Epic point-blank, close-up views of this beautiful vagrant duck species. One of my personal favourite bird encounters.

A successful return visit to catch up with the #Shorelark at Oglet again and bumped into @birderjack.bsky.social Still far from easy to see well, but made up that at least got a few more views of it 😁
