@ianparsons.bsky.socialThanks Ian, appreciate that.
@ianparsons.bsky.socialA fantastic review of my book Tarka Revisited in the new @britishwildlife.bsky.social newsletter. www.britishwildlife.com/tarka-revisi...
Will be at @thebookery.bsky.social next week talking about the book with @chrissperring.bsky.social

@ianparsons.bsky.socialI think it had a bid of £14 when I last looked. Worth more.
@ianparsons.bsky.socialNext week on Thursday! Looking forward to this.
@ianparsons.bsky.socialSometimes at auction you find some real gems...
Dartmoor Auctions next weekend, Lot 1035.
Pitminster near you @iand777.bsky.social ?

Tempting...
@ianparsons.bsky.socialI saw lots going through Extremadura over the last few weeks as well as a lot of Whinchat too, always nice to see a Whinchat. This one was on spring passage when they can often be harder to find. Love the autumn passage of birds, brief visitors on long migrations.
@markbirdingpinoso.bsky.socialReposted by @ianparsons.bsky.socialI only see Northern Wheatear in the spring and autumn here. This smart bird was on the local steppe and is my #birdoftheday #fallbirds. #birdphotography
@thebookery.bsky.socialReposted by @ianparsons.bsky.socialWe're looking forward to a fascinating evening of conversation on 8 October celebrating British wildlife and landscapes with acclaimed nature writers @chrissperring.bsky.social & @ianparsons.bsky.social!🦉🦦Tickets £5 (redeemable against a copy of either book on the evening) - link in bio.
@ianparsons.bsky.socialAnd no doubt they do it cheaper than the ferry....
@ianparsons.bsky.socialThe sun sets on another day in #Extremadura, 37C today, summer heat. But it's turning, the #birds in this are Greylag Geese, pioneers of wintering populations. Passage Willow Warblers everywhere, feeding up before moving on. I love this time of year.

@ianparsons.bsky.socialJust discovered my name Ian ranks 575th in current British names! We're rarieties @iancarter67.bsky.social @iand777.bsky.social
Must make my latest book a collector's item...
@pelagic.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social
@ianparsons.bsky.socialBe great to see you there. Looking forward to it!
@ianparsons.bsky.socialI enjoy seeing photos of flowers growing out of pavements, but they're usually quite small... This has to be the champion! A #Devon sunflower growing out of the kerb.
@nicwilson.bsky.social @brigitstrawbridge.bsky.social @iand777.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social
@ianparsons.bsky.socialReally looking forward to this...
@ianparsons.bsky.socialVery true indeed.
@ianparsons.bsky.socialMy review of Tim Birkhead's Great Auk is now out in the @britishwildlife.bsky.social newsletter, you can read it here www.britishwildlife.com/the-great-au...
It is a very good book.

@ianparsons.bsky.socialToday's themes for #BirdoftheDay are #CoastalandRiver with an Alt of #Rocky. Now it's easy to get a Griffon in the latter category but can I get one that does both? I reckon! A slightly distracted Griffon Vulture alongside the Rio Tajo in Spain.
@robcrank68.bsky.social @atlanticbirding.bsky.social
@ianparsons.bsky.socialAnother #BirdoftheDay offering for today's theme of #CoastalandRiver and one of my favourite photos. 5 Barn swallows and their reflections over a tranquil river pool.

@ianparsons.bsky.socialToday's #BirdoftheDay theme is #CoastalandRiver so here is one of the ultimate river #birds, the Dipper. Included the second photo to prove the first is actually a Dipper😆
