Pleased to connect with this juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper at Bishop Middleham, the first at this inland site for five years and No125 on my patch year list #PWC2026
Lots of late broods of Swallows making the most of the calm conditions on Tiree just now #BirdingScotland #PWC2026
It’s been slow passerine-wise but seawatching at least produced Great, Sooty and Manx shearwaters all NFY. Good numbers of Golden and Ringed Plovers coming through but little else wader-wise and rains keep ensuring I have no freshwater margins 😕 First Aurora of the autumn #WestrayBirding #PWC2026
A really good morning on my Morton Bagot patch: 5 Spotted Flycatchers, Tree Pipit, 2 Redstarts, 2 Whinchats, first Meadow Pipit of the autumn, Lesser Whitethroat, and three Stonechats. #PWC2026. What a shame the #WestMidsAllDayer can't be the West Midlands All Weekender!
Isn't patch watching brilliant. Tufted Duck isn't annual for me at Whitby on my #PWC2026 10km from home patch so after a tip off yesterday, a major twitch was on. A 3 mile walk for only 1 point but it was we'll worth it. @whitbynats.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social
0500 start paid off at #LadywalkNR for #westmidsalldayer 3 Owl species
(5+ Barn Owl,2 Tawny,1 Little)
Star of the show though was a Nightjar!
Great find by @willo-the-wisp.bsky.social and Kev Whiston.
Hawking the northern end of reserve and flew over my head!
Great ✔️for #PWC2026 inc Little Owl.
Hill Head: trickle of Yellow Wagtails, Meadow Pipits & hirundines overhead + single Tree Pipit call heard. Also small flock of Terns, 2 Eider offshore, and brief check of boardwalk on reserve yielded Blackcaps & Willow Warblers. Ooh, and this boat... #LowCarbonBirding #PWC2026
Elusive imm Barred Warbler new in the garden at Balephuil, Tiree this am, plus a Pied Flycatcher there #BirdingScotland #PWC2026 @birdguides.bsky.social
