Managed to connect with the Song Sparrow late on Tuesday evening at Thornwick, considerably jammy following its disappearance yesterday! A proper smart little bird even gave us a few short bursts of song. Lovely.

The now annual trip into the peaks with @milescluff.bsky.social came up trumps again yesterday with superb views of Wood Warblers, Redstarts, Ring Ouzels, Pied Fly etc. Some proper birding, and best views of many of these species I’ve ever had.

The annual Norfolk trip threw up some cracking birds, including this Jack Snipe which dropped out the mist and landed out from Island Hide at RSPB Titchwell. Around 130 species seen by the group overall.

Found this lovely first winter male Siberian Stonechat at Gibraltar Point NNR this morning, proving elusive at times. A pale, peachy, smart looking bird, certainly not on my radar when I went seawatching early on! My 234th bird species at Gib this year and my best find yet.
