Hard work , but absolutely delighted to eventually piece together decent views of the Siberian thrush today, despite semi aquatic viewing conditions !

Pleased to connect with a Grey Phalarope flying close past Hengistbury this morning - until today it’s been a Phal free zone ! @chogbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Seems to have been a great year for Purple Emperors - after a couple of disappointing attempts elsewhere had around 25 at Knepp this week, and delighted to see this male grounded at Straits inclosure , Alice Holt @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @Knepp

Seemingly not a great year for numbers ( only found 2) , but pleased to spend some time with this Large Blue in Somerset today @ukbutterflies.bsky.social

A few shots from our recent trip to Georgia where we had a few weather ‘ issues’ but despite that saw some great birds ( and a wolf!)
