ADHD birder, hubby and daddy. Just trying to find my way in an upside down world. I love birds and the peace they bring. Coastal patch at Seaburn and Whitburn but my birding heart rests in Fair Isle. 🌍💚🇪🇺
@craigcthomas1.bsky.socialReposted by @birds-and-me.bsky.socialFinally, finally remembered to go birding with my eyes open and found something decent - ironically, not definitively knowing quite what! Stubbornly silent Bonelli's Warbler @flamboroughbird.bsky.social before it relocated to Old Fall.
@birds-and-me.bsky.socialVery faint looking north from Sunderland, although light pollution isn’t helping.
@birds-and-me.bsky.social😂🙌🏻

There's been a huge influx of both ssp of Nuthatch this year & I was hoping for one in the garden. Result! Sp. 151 for the garden list. 😎 #birds #birding #birdwatching #finland #birdsseenin2026

@birds-and-me.bsky.socialMy first bird of the day was a late Swallow, heading south along the northeast coast.

@laziobirder.bsky.socialReposted by @birds-and-me.bsky.socialSome decent birding so far on Fair Isle. Finally got some pics of the Olive-backed Pipit keeping faithful to the Stoneybrek area @fairislebirdobs.bsky.social #UKbirding
@birds-and-me.bsky.socialHi Brendan, that was a shame- we left early to avoid getting stuck. Yeah, had a cracking time, to be fair. I think you might be in for one or two surprises in the next few days. 🙏🏻
@nucifraga.bsky.socialReposted by @birds-and-me.bsky.social#BirdingGear request (first time I've used this tag!) - looking to get something to transfer photos direct from my camera ('micro' socket, I'm told) to my phone ('lightning' socket). Anyone know where I can get this?
Would prefer to avoid that ghastly company named after a South American river...
@birds-and-me.bsky.socialNice, mate 👍🏻
