Great views of these Black Guillemots gearing up for spring, at Belfast’s City Quays a couple of weeks ago. Lots of vocalising, display and checking of nest sites #birds #ukbirding #irishbirding #northernirishbirding

Always nice watching Red Kites, with spring amping up they’re all now starting to chase each other around

A great trip to Prague with @alice-louise1998.bsky.social for our anniversary last weekend, a gorgeous city and some brilliant urban birding too.
One of the highlights was this vagrant male Syrian Woodpecker, as well as great views of a Black Woodpecker and so much more

A good start to a weekend in Norfolk with the lads, great views of the Shore Larks at Holkham this afternoon. A quick edit of one photo, before heading to the pub for a few pints and some pizza!

I was treated to lovely views of the Hoopoe in Stamford Bridge at the back end of September. Having spoken to the homeowner, I sat in my car watching the lawn it liked to forage on and was treated to epic views with nobody else around

Thanks to @nathanieldargue.bsky.social for info- the ringed Lesser White-fronted Goose in the flock was released as a juvenile in 2018 and it’s the first time this bird has been seen in the UK, only seen on breeding grounds in Sweden and wintering grounds in Netherlands so far

After dawn at Swinemoor, it was a joy to head to North Landing and watch the seven Lesser White-fronts, one of which is bearing Swedish colour-rings. They spent the whole time bullying their companion Russian White-front juvenile
