American Buff-bellied Pipit ✅
Not the red letter day we was hoping for in Northumberland but this bird sure made up for it, showed incredibly well at the beautiful Ross Bank Sand.
Also another bonus lifer bogey bird Grey Plover ✅ also tried for the Black scoter with no luck #ukbirding #bird 🪶

Started 2025 the way I mean to go on! With a lifer, Red-necked Grebe✅ at leeshaw reservoir.
Braved the atrocious weather but ended up seing the bird really well, challenging to get any digiscope footage though.
Nice chatting to the other birders there.
Great start to 2025

Mega Dip day for me today, 7 hours and 400 miles! Spend 6 hours for the Grey-headed Lapwing at East Chevington with no luck, it was in the ploughed field but only showed itself for 10 seconds in flight whilst I was there 😭 then tried for the Surf Scoter at Druridge bay but again no luck #ukbirding

African Fish Eagle - Botswana
What a stunning species of Eagle a truly special experience as I saw this individual from a dug out canoe out on the Delta surrounded by Hippos. The Fish Eagles call is so distinctive, whenever I here one takes me straight back to this moment 🪶

Antpitta’s known as the Ghosts of the forest, are my favourite family of birds. I have seen around 6/7 species currently but planning to travel too see more!
Paz de las Aves in Ecuador will always have a special place in my heart as it is where I first laid eyes on a Giant Pitta! 🪶

What an amazing experience it was watching this bird at close range

Torrent Duck - Ecuador
My favourite duck I have seen, such stunning contrast between the Drakes and Females. Such interesting behaviour diving in and about of extreme river currents. Truly an amazing species of duck. I was super excited to have seen them!! Look at the spiny tail feathers

All the hype around the Scarlet Tanager (which I’m hopefully going to catch up with) made me think of my trip to Ecuador where I saw over 35 species of Tanager, my favourite being Flame-faced and Blue-necked which are stunning. Here’s a blue-and-yellow I managed to photograph! #scarlettanager #bird

Great days birding @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social today! Main target was a pair of ShoreLarks ✅
With help from Matt we located them briefly but they flushed to the next lagoon where we refound them and managed to get fantastic prolonged views! Also saw an unusual leucistic Brent goose #ukbirding #spurn
