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!

Lovely views of this female Teal the other day, looking splendid in the winter sun with an autumnal reflection colouring the water

Always nice when they do that, plenty of photos where they didn’t

A small flock of Pintail put on a great show for me on Friday at @rspb.bsky.social Fairburn Ings as they flew past me at eye level

I was treated to some brilliant views of Red Kite at @rspb.bsky.social Fairburn Ings on Friday, it was great watching them twisting around on a cold frosty morning

The sunny frosty mornings this week made for great photographic opportunities, such as this Long-tailed Tit

Enjoyed watching this Great White Egret battle with a Perch it caught the other day, eventually the Perch won and lived to fight another day

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

Let’s see how Bluesky does with video. Here is some PhoneSkope footage of the Lesser White-fronted Geese at @flamboroughbird.bsky.social yesterday having a drink

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

First post! Seemed only appropriate to post some Yorkshire Birds first. Here’s three highlights of a trip to @flamboroughbird.bsky.social last month, during a brilliant afternoon of autumn birding
