After seeing the Nutcracker on a wheelbarrow, in a skip, and drinking out of a gutter, it was great to see the bird spend some time feeding this evening with @miles_cluff

Another day, another bold wader. This juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper was quite content feeding on the excess of invertebrates along the shoreline around us.

Couldn't resist a post work twitch for the Walberswick Zitting Cisticola this evening and it showed better than expected!

An inadvertently well-timed trip to Cumbria over the weekend meant we were there bang on for High Brown Fritillary. After a failed search in the heat of the day on Saturday, an earlier visit on Sunday led to some excellent views @pseudoliam
Great weekend in Cumbria with @OwenBeaumont1 the big highlight being High-brown Fritillary! The last British butterfly* I needed to see! And at least a dozen showing amazingly well!
*out of the resident extant breeding species. Still need vagrants!
E6 lives on! The geriatric Avocet at Frampton again today. Rings not getting any easier to read!

Collared Pratincole at a breezy @RSPBFrampton this afternoon @RareBirdAlertUK
Frampton Marsh wader sp #44! Collared Pratincole. Showed decently well although hardly moved the whole time!
American Golden Plover showing amazingly at @RSPBFrampton. My 43rd wader sp on the site!

I returned home yesterday after a week on Lesvos with the gang 🇬🇷 Some brilliant birding and arguably even better scenery. A collective 188 species recorded throughout the week and around 25 lifers personally. Bring on the next one!
ALT Squacco Heron
ALT Spur-winged Plover

This lovely Blue-headed Wagtail brightened up a wet, overcast census this morning. After some patience and army crawling I was able to get close enough to read the full ring number. Turns out it is one of the brood from last years breeding success on Shetland! @FI_Obs

Common Ringed Plovers are known to decorate their nest scrapes with fragments of shell and small flat stones, however some individuals have been noted to use other materials to decorate their nests.

Salvin's Prion - Blue-grey gems of the Subantarctic. On the Flock to Marion Again voyage, there were so many spectacular birds, but seeing tens of thousands of these absolute masters of their environment was definitely one of the highlights... Just wish they were easier to ID...

Despite having minimal terrestrial birding time in South Africa, a couple of trips to Durban botanic gardens were highly rewarding. Some great views of many common, and a few scarcer, species. A few highlights below
ALT Ayre's Hawk-eagle
ALT African Harrier-hawk
ALT Purple-crested Turaco
ALT Palm Nut Vulture

Found this Siberian type Stonechat @gibpoint earlier on, very pale appearance overall, apricot and white in the rump with no streaking. Appearing with a black mask rather than head. 💩 samples collected just in case 🤞🏻 @Lincsbirding
Not been seen for an hour now.
October starting off well with back to back megas with a pale theam. Desert Warbler - Winterton today and Daurian Shrike - Bempton yesterday.

Stunning Radde's Warbler ringed at Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR around lunchtime today. After a really disappointing couple of weeks on patch, this was a nice reminder that there are some rares lurking out there @RareBirdAlertUK

Early start for the eastern mega💥Britain's second Pale-legged Leaf Warbler @Bempton_Cliffs (which should be somewhere between China and Thailand). Took a few hours before I got a decent view of this incredibly elusive bird @BirdGuides
Liam Andrews retweeted
I’ve been to see many ultra rare birds in the UK. But this tiny waif from NE China was the most difficult to see well that I can remember. 7 hours from first light and finally managed this photo of Europe’s first alive confirmed Pale-legged Leaf Warbler
