Birding. Cinema. Boxing. Old Bostonian living in Belfast. People say I have an interesting walk… Hell, I’m just trying to hold my gut in!
Afraid not. I’ve lost the adapter to my phoneskope and my camcorder has broken. I’m having to take freehand photos through my scope at moment. Good for ducks on rocks and shrikes that sit still, crap for flitting passerines and moving harriers. Got eyes on camera for Xmas though! 🤞

Good luck! 🤞

I can’t edit my old posts, mate, but I will definitely add that hashtag in future for sure.

Planning on a few trips over in autumn and winter for sure! 👍

Pallas’s Warbler is a fantastic find, no matter what year it is! Brilliant. Such charismatic wee sprites! 😍

Seems I made almost the exact same post as this in “the dark place” just as you were posting here! That song means so much to me! Such a sad day.

A little bit of digiscoped footage of the White-winged Black Tern from last night too. A proper beauty, which my video definitely doesn’t do justice!

It was actually my birding compadre Aaron who took that photo. I usually credit him in the “alt”, but must have forgot. I think we just missed you that day. Glad you got the bird anyway. They’re always a pleasure to catch up with, no matter the distance! 👍
