Had an hour at Fairburn Ings this afternoon, with the definite highlight being a Whimbrel that circled over Spoonbill Flash calling before landing for a couple of minutes, my first for the site. Good views of all three egret species too, as can often be expected there these days. #UKBirding 🪶

Back from a few days ‘non-birding’ holiday in North Zealand 🇩🇰, so obviously had to go find all the wildlife I could find locally. Highlights were probably two White-tailed Eagle (thanks to fortunately stumbling upon local birder Mathias), three Hawfinch and a Camberwell Beauty.

Finishing up a week’s New Year holiday in the Dolomites and a couple of days in Venice - the latter much more birdy - with a few highlights: 🪶

Very lucky brief view of the Scarlet Tanager yesterday morning with the worst record shot you’ve ever seen. Then a Taiga Bean Goose at Hay-a-Park this afternoon. Perhaps the oddest pair of midweek local(ish) birds I could have imagined. #UKBirding #YorkshireBirding

Hadrian’s Wall. White-winged Scoter. Comet. That was quite the day.

This Red-breasted Flycatcher eventually showed well by the Spurn Discovery Centre this afternoon (and my timeline was looking a bit too blank). Three YBWs the other main highlight.
