The first Redwing arrival is one of my favourites on the birding calendar. After an arrival on the east coast yesterday, there was already some in the nets at Seaforth this morning #Lancsbirding

Fantastic day on the Wirral watching wind blown Leach's Petrels leaving the river Mersey. The last couple of birds passed within metres over the beach on the ebbing tide!

UKs hardest Dragonfly ✅️ #glastonbury #arcadia

Belting spring morning at Coombe Hill today, at least 13 Redstart (all singing males), Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Common Whitethroat, 2 Sedge Warbler & 2 Yellow Wags flew north #glosbirds

Nice Whinchat along the Chelt at Leigh Meadows this morning; also two male Redstart & Yellow Wag over #glosbirds

Fantastic surprise encounter with this Fennec Fox in the desert of Merzouga, Morocco a few days ago 🇲🇦

Tundra Bean on Plex Moss today with a few thousand Pinks, the vast majority of them asleep and no doubt prepping for the flight back to Iceland #LancsBirding

A few from the weekends birding in the NW - early Wheatear & displaying Med Gull at Seaforth. Plus Black Scoter at Hoylake & Lesser White-front at Pilling #lancsbirding

Two big highlights of a recent trip to central Colombia; the endemic Buffy & Green-bearded Helmetcrests, both found in different regions of high paramo in the Andes

A bit late to the party but couldn't resist whilst passing through Amsterdam... really amazing bird and my last world Eider!

In Feb 23 we undertook a census of the UK naturalised Barnacle Goose population. The aim to produce an updated population estimate & report on winter distribution. Results have now been published in @britishbirds.bsky.social, with our thinking on future monitoring needs #Ornithology 1/7 ⬇️

Red-breasted Goose & Todd's Canada in the same flock of Barnies out on Rockcliffe Marsh today

My first new bird of 2025 was the absolutely brilliant male Moussier's Redstart just outside of Montpellier 🇫🇷
