Great views of the Shotwick Grey Phalarope this morning. Bumped into Justin & Kev on site who were en route to Lancs for the juv Pallid Harrier so I joined up with them and we were treated to a lovely fly by. Quite lucky as it seemed pretty difficult this afternoon. #ukbirding

Little Egret on the River Stour, Blandford Forum, 04/10/26. 🪶 #ukbirding #birdphotography #eck

I love the unbridled enthusiasm demonstrated by young birders just starting out and eager to learn. I was energised by a day out in Dorset and Wiltshire with @kidphotographer24.bsky.social, who enjoyed his first encounters with Spotted Crake, Woodlark and Stone Curlew #ukbirding

How exciting, we new the lonesome Barn owl had found a mate a few months back, but we didn't expect them to get down to business this year, look what I found this PM #ukbirding #dorsetbirds @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Nice to see Yellowhammer and Stonechat up Wood Lane this afternoon #ukbirding #westyorksbirding

2. And onto Mainland and straight to Levenwick for the Siberian Stonechat. A delightful wee bird. Managed to pick up Yellow-browed Warblers, Brambling, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Spotted Flycatcher at various places around South Mainland and Buff-breasted Sandpipers, too. #UKBirding

1. Fair Isle Day-6: my last morning on the Isle and having to leave early due to poor forecast. Newly arrived Olive-backed Pipit and Red-breasted Flycatcher highlights of a compressed mornings birding prior to flight to mainland. Brilliant few day birding. #UKBirding

Fair Isle Day-5: a quiet day given birds had clearly moved on. Little Bunting remained at Shirva and Water Rail was newly arrived at Vailla’s Trees. A late Green Sandpiper at Meadow burn also a newly arrived Yellow-browed Warbler remained at Plantation. #UKBirding

Marsh Tit is going the way of Willow Tit. With very little mention.

High winds and driving rain made birding on Shetland challenging today. But we were eventually rewarded with this cracking Red-breasted Flycatcher, in a garden with Yellow-browed Warbler and half a dozen Bramblings. #UKbirding

October getting into its stride at #salopobs. More #nocmig Common Scoters and the first Merveille du Jour last night, then a gorgeous 50spp morning including the first push of 2,580 #vismig Woodpigeons, raptors, Skylarks, Mipits, buntings... #loveautumn #ukbirding ebird.org/checklist/S3...

Very close Little Stint below the Powderham Sea Wall, Exe Estuary. Very confiding, giving great views. Lots of local birders on site, who found a Wryneck feeding on the muds earlier but was not relocated after it flew into field. #UKBirding

With amazing views of a Little Stint off Powderham sea wall this morning, together with a juvenile Osprey fishing on the Exe and good company made a nice couple of hours.
Sadly we missed a Wryneck by 5 mins ☹️.
