Blog update:
My Lesser Kestrel became a Long stayer & playing ball for far better photographers than I. A swathe of nice images added here. #birds #birding #birdwatching #raptors #finland #BirdID #bordsseenin2026

hi friends, when I put this bird in the Merlin app, it says it is a western tanager? What do you think usually they see more yellow? #Birds #BirdID

I was really lucky for me to move this camera here today. I was hoping to get the cedar wax wings, but I got this bird.

Lesser Kestrel. A really enjoyable weekend finding a top bird. 😍

iNaturalist is telling me this is a razorbill. Can anyone confirm? Have always wanted to see one, would be thrilled if so. Spotted off Cromer, Norfolk.

Is this a Song Sparrow? The behavior seems different. #BirdID

I have tons of video right now. I will post them on this thread

#BirdID Looks like a crow with a gray tuft around the neck and back of the head. Attempts to ID via online searches said "maybe it's just a crow" and I haven't ruled that out, but I don't think I've seen one like that. Pacific NW.

Classic shape in level flight there - the amount of flex at the carpal created this silhouette. Here’s a montage I made from a variety of online sources as part of a (failed😭) submission I made for a bird I saw in Edinburgh a few years’ ago. A diagnostic shape IMO #birdID
