Hornchurch, Altrincham, Stafford and now very possibly Cray Wanderers all deserving a second shot at it but aren’t allowed to because Liverpool wanna play Aston Villa in Hong Kong 4 days after the season finishes 🫠 at a minimum bring back replays for rounds 1 and 2

Over the moon (to put it mildly) to find this first year male SIBERIAN BLUE ROBIN in our garden at Hillwell, Shetland this morning. The fifth record for Britain and a first for Shetland.

These two shots try to put in perspective how ridiculously these birds have been showing, some right along the tide line and one even used @miles_cluff as a momentary wind break. @CAWOSBirding

Seems I managed to catch the white-winged tern up at Fairhaven Lake yesterday on it's last day before heading on. What a showy bird. Had it for 2 hours constantly feeding back and forth close range on a small lake. Through rain and sun. @FyldeBirdClub

Male is stunning, with a metallic blue back, a black mask extending down to the shoulder, and a burning flame-orange throat and breast. We got those photos during our birding tour in Sichuan, China.

Blackpool vs Peterborough Utd
A great performance with some real quality. It's been a long time coming but that was excellent. Karoy and Taylor were particularly good, but we played very well as a team.

Main reason to visit Abd al-Kuri was to see the endemic Sparrow which due to the island’s remoteness has been seen by very few birders. We found c.30 in the main village on the morning of 2nd day after not been able to find any the evening we arrived.A few on the hillsides later.
