Birds mainly and the natural world. Always learning. Based in Suffolk, UK.
The Juvenile Black Stork at rspb.bsky.social Boyton Marshes showed very well today while it foraged and fed along the dyke.

My birding highlights of a sunny afternoon walk between Kynance Cove and The Lizard, Cornwall, today were a flock of at least 10 Choughs, 2 Wheatears, Rock Pipits, Linnets and a Raven. #ukbirding

This Osprey youngster at Rutland Water looked close to fledging today.
Certainly lots of wing flapping flight prep going on!
It was fabulous to see the parents catching fish and feeding the chick.

Some glorious weather (at last!) for my late visit @btobirds.bsky.social Breeding Bird Survey on arable farmland in Suffolk. Yellowhammers, Skylark, Chiffchaff, Blackcaps, Chaffinch and Whitethroats were all very vocal, almost as if they were welcoming the sunshine with their song 🌞. #ukbirding

A lovely trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs today.
It was encouraging to see so many Gannets and Guillemots. #ukbirding

The highlights of a dawn chorus walk in Suffolk woodland today were 4 Nightingales, 7 Garden Warblers, Common and Lesser Whitethroat, Nuthatch, Marsh Tit and Mistle Thrush. Isn't a sunny spring morning spent birding just the best thing? #ukbirding

Back from a fabulous few days at the Straits of Gibraltar Bird Observatory #gonhs
It was a privilege to see the fantastic work carried out by the ringers. Highlights included Woodchat Shrike and Scops Owl.
