This Shore Lark was showing exceptionally well on the cliff top at Skipsea yesterday, a chance to finally put the new Sony 400-800 through its paces, certainly seems sharp.

My best efforts of the Spurn Black-faced Bunting. A long wait after the injustice of 25 years ago. #RareBirdsUK

It has very slight marks from rubbing on clothing shown in the pics.

Selling my Sony G FE 200-600mm F5.6-F6.6 lens it’s in great condition with no marks on the lenses, it’s boxed and has the hood, strap, case, instructions. It has a vinyl skin applied. Looking for £950 Collection only or can meet at Spurn/Flamborough etc.

Another option for those asking about equipment. Been doing this for about 10 years now and find myself constantly upgrading the setup. Finally very satisfied with this combo, very heavy but super stable and easy to put together

Have you thought of trying the Swarovski bino guard? I think they’re brilliant, flicks out of the way with one thumb when lifting your bins and goes back into position by itself as you lower them.

Here’s my setup

Cracked, presume the rise in average temperature means the powers that be will now be happy that winter isn't the problem it was in 99/2000 for these things #RareBirdsUK #UKBirding

Successful little twitch to the Netherlands

The FZ330 is a great camera Paul, if you simply want more reach then look for a Nikon TCE17ED 1.7x teleconverter I’ve used one for years on the same camera they are optically brilliant. They’re long discontinued but come up on eBay infrequently expect to pay between £150-250 worth every penny

Ran past our house this morning, half the street out at 7:15 to cheer him on

I’ve never seen as many Dragonflies as in Oman, thousands of Globe Skimmers almost everywhere we went but I’d appreciate ID input on the others if anyone has a clue

Yemen Serin in Oman recently, fortunately a pair of fantastic Bonelli’s Eagles were constantly on view to distract me!

With the strong SE winds yesterday I decided to see if any seabirds had been blown up to the Humber Bridge, first bird I saw was this Long tailed Skua. I hadn’t even got my scope out of the car so bins views and had to take pics and ID from those in the evening. #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK

Think I uploaded the wrong Arctic pic originally

Fantastic birding on the Yorks coast this weekend. My Photography skills were no match for the Pale legged Leaf Warbler, fortunately the Arctic Warbler and Pallid Harrier were more cooperative. Nice solitary river watch this morning the perfect antidote to the weekends crowds #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK

My first post on here so let’s see how the photo compression is compared to that other place.

Adult Semipalmated Sandpiper on Marazion beach tonight my second in the last week here in Cornwall with a Juvenile nearby on the Hayle estuary.
