Nice belated birthday present with this Juv RB Shrike at Avenue Washlands this morning. My first county bird since the Shipley Park adult in '97! @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #UKBirding #DerbyshireBirds #RareBirdsUK

Nothing like a mad dash twitch before an afternoon flight! Bairds Sandpiper showing extremely well at Meols, Wirral. Great find by @seanoh58.bsky.social 👌

Pacific diver yesterday at Caolas beag, Big Sand, Gairloch. Photos show complete neckless, dark vent strap, rounded head shape, small fine bill, dark flanks & small size compared to black-throated divers. So different it's almost like a grebe within the flock #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK
