Saw a #ringbilledgull in Stockholm yesterday, bang in the middle of the city! There are only 14 or so records of this North American vagrant and it attracted quite the paparazzi! It was chilling with the other gulls, searching for food from humans, and harassing nearby pigeons. #gulls #birds

No fieldwork for me this year, but plenty of pieds in Färnebofjärden national park!! It always makes me happy to see them singing happily 💛

One of the fledglings gave a nice stretch while waking up from their day long slumber 💤

Seeing the superb fairy wren in Australia was a very surreal moment for me! A tiny, beautiful bird that I have read countless fascinating studies on. What a little firecracker!

Saw this magnificent bluethroat in Abisko, the very north of Sweden! In my opinion, one of the most beautiful #birds that one can find in Europe.

Going to start my feed with the coolest new bird I saw in the wild recently! It was a lucky sighting, and the only cassowary I managed to see during a week in the Daintree rainforest. So, I am very very happy to have been able to get this photo!
