A rather big announcement for the #BirdsSeenIn2026 challenge: I will be deleting my X account by the turn of the next year.
This is combining my will for some time now to quit X for good and some great news work-wise. I will need to slow down on the challenge next year.
Bluesky exclusivity!

I'm also opening a complaints box for the rest of the year if you have any remarks, improvments or ideas for a better #BirdsSeenIn2025 and/or #BirdsSeenIn2026 :D

Just when we thought autumn was done, birding would be quieter and that was that, this vision of larid loveliness landed in the road in front of us! A cracking adult Franklin's Gull, the first record for Vatersay. #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK

Sulawesi Serpent Eagle & Barred Honeybuzzard are the only #endemic #raptors I could get some decent photos of. Also featured here is Rufous-winged Buzzard, a species w/ intriguingly disjunct populations, in a fight w/ the #eagle

Juveniles of Long-toed Stint (Calidris subminuta 长趾滨鹬 Zhǎng zhǐ bīn yù) and Red-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis 红颈滨鹬 Hóng jǐng bīn yù). Incredibly, these birds - likely just 10 wks old - are migrating from Siberia (the Arctic Circle in the case of the Red-necked) to the S hemisphere. #birds

I really enjoyed the Bearded Tits at Tay Reedbeds today. My first ones in Scotland and also my first since I last saw them at Lakenheath Fen 8 years ago!
Other nice birds were Marsh Harrier, Greenshank, Red Kite, Brambling and lots of Redpolls.
