There’s a huge movement of Coal Tits going on here in southern Sweden. 265 were logged migrating at @FalsterboBO today. The 1973–2023 season (Aug–Nov) average there is 581 per year, and significant numbers usually don’t start until well into September.

The Robins did us a favour this afternoon and escorted the Empid towards the Obs. We are pretty confident that this is indeed an Alder Flycatcher, as suggested by @KesterWilsonNan and others. Still around the Cottage. @BirdGuides @docmartin2mc

Great to get confirmation from @docmartin2mc @comicterns that this Chiffchaff was indeed a Siberian Chiff (P. c. tristis). Possibly the 1st confirmed record for NI via DNA analysis

Musuem Work - value of specimens. In April @britishbirds we revisit the WP-first-and-only Hume's Lark. Israel, 1986, and genetically identify to subspecies. Futureproofs the record against becoming a taxonomic either/or. Work by @YosefKiat @comicterns @penguin_tereza

Proper bird work. Genetics by @penguin_tereza and @comicterns
