Checked Clifton this afternoon. No sign amongst the 281 Teal present.

OK, thanks Andy. Not seen any news for today.

Hi Andy, I haven't seen this bird, so only going by your video, but from around half way through the clip, this bird clearly shows a horizontal white line on both sides of the body.

Hi Jack, it can start as early as late Sept, but usually late Oct through to early December. Rarely they overwinter which extends the season into the new year.

It was new to me too, Phil. It's just south of Costa Teguise GC.

Yes, Paul. And now a Brown Booby! Slightly more productive than the Malverns 😉

Not by me but it did take some finding even knowing it was there!

Well done on getting pics. Saw it very briefly early doors but then disappeared. Also heard a few Crossbills but little else of note.

My last September visit. Been a poor month. Huge effort but very little to show for it!

Yes, Lee. That's a juvenile Little Bittern.

Juvenile Squacco Heron, Lee 👍

Thanks Paul.
One of the most amazing things on that trip was how @andywarr.bsky.social managed to find a Sainsbury's 4000m up a mountain between Tibet and Bhutan 🤣

Thanks Ed. Makes it a whole lot easier, especially if you have multiple contributors.
