I saw this colour ringed male BTGodwit in Iceland last week and have just found out that it was ringed in Norfolk as an immature 20 years ago and has been seen at Cley marshes NWT on multiple occasions since but never in Iceland, it was clearly paired up on breeding territory, amazing!

Very lucky to find this female Ferruginous duck on my local nature reserve, it’s never had anything rare on it before, surprisingly the first Shropshire record for 23 years! #birds

Who doesn’t love a Teal? What gorgeous little ducks they are!! The Eurasian was much more active than the sleepy Green-winged at Morfa Madryn this afternoon #birds #nature #wildlife

Best views I’ve ever had of Hawfinch on the ground at Llanrwst, such stunning birds, at least 2 present (1 male and 1 female) feeding amongst at least 100 other finches mostly Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Siskin

Ok so I dipped the Owl last night but it was still a good day adding Yellow Warbler to myUK list!! It hardly came into the Alders in 4 hours but was on almost constant show around the concrete walled filter bed near the big red shipping container, too far for the camera but excellent scope views 👍
