Yedterday was a mega tanager day. Tamata

It seems that two sp. of Bordered Straw in the same trap this week is not unusual. I got one each of umbra and armigera on Friday to my garden dual actinic along with 4 delicate, 2 Rush Veneer & 3 DSG
Colne Point - NE Essex

@migrantmothuk.bsky.social Few presumed migrants last night in my Colne Point garden, the highlight being Silver Barred, also Four-spotted Footman, a few Diamondbacks, Delicate possibly more fridge to be checked later

Found this Pipit at Ockle, Ardnamurchan, no calls seen briefly, seems to be a winter plumage Red-throated.
Thoughts please.

@naturetrek.bsky.social after much searching we have now seen an otter. Much relief for those who have braved the wet and windy conditions.

@naturetrek.bsky.social today we visited Lunga via Staffa (to view Fingal's Cave). A seabird bonanza, where puffins were the star attraction. Both Water Rail and Corncrake were heard.
A day with almost no rain. Early morning there was little wind. Allowing the mountains to reflect in the loch.

@naturetrek.bsky.social After a morning visit to Loch Sheil and the general area finding our 7th White-tailed Eagle and dodging some heavy rain showers. We then went to Ariundle (photos) where the weather improved and we found our third Golden Eagle, Wood Warbler, Tree Pipit, Chequered Skipper

A fine days birding on @naturetrek.bsky.social Ardnamurchan finished off with ludicrous views of Pine Marten
Add to that close up views of White-tailed Eagle, five seen in total and young Golden Eagle.

There is damage to the left eye. I guess normal feeding is not possible without binocular vision
csb

I have been troubled by this Chiffchaff which this morning I managed to get good views of after at least three days. It has never vocalised, it is sluggish in its movements and it only feeds by gleaning from leaves. The next photo shows why.

Vulture watching with @naturetrek.bsky.social Extremadura beginners group. Stunning scenery in Montfrague nation park
