@mybirding.bsky.socialReposted by @ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialDo you want to see a very cropped image of a Marsh Harrier that flew NW from bet Barr Beacon at 0800 today! Go on then and no comments about my old Blurred Birding antics! With @ochrurosbirder.bsky.social
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialTake blurred birding over AI any day! 😂 Patch gold that makes it worth all the slog.
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialMarsh Harrier circled then flew NW, Barr Beacon, Birmingham. Site first! @mybirding.bsky.social

@dawnbirder.bsky.socialReposted by @ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialGreat first day in Isles of #Scilly
Scillonian sea watching was fun: close pods of dolphin & porpoise, year tick Stormies & Grey phalaropes.
Headed straight for distant views of lifer, Sora.
Went back for more after picking up hire bikes, my first cycling in 7 years. Both were a blast

@hughharrop.bsky.socialReposted by @ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialThe first year male SIBERIAN BLUE ROBIN that graced our Shetland garden this morning. A fifth for Britain and one hell of a garden tick! Thanks to all that visited and enjoyed this special bird today. #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife
@craigcthomas1.bsky.socialReposted by @ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialThe ultimate technophobe, it's taken me three months to 'pluck up the courage' to set up and take out the new camera. Glad its first day coincided with two good birds @flamboroughbird.bsky.social. Dotterel & Lapland Bunting yesterday, both so much scarcer over recent years.
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialI was on cloud 9 this morning after being lucky enough to find these 2 Dotterel. Great to also catch up with this confiding Lapland Bunting, my first for 4 years. Quality not quantity, a brilliant day at Flamborough!
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialA moment of panic, to make sure I got proof! 🤣
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialI’m buzzing!! 😊
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialFound 2 Dotterel @flamboroughbird.bsky.social in field just south of motorway hedge @birdguides.bsky.social
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialCatching the end of this morning’s seabird passage at Flamborough from midday.
1 Sooty Shear, 4 Arctic Skua, 1 Black Tern, Manxies, 6 Brent Goose south, several RT Diver, 3 Com Scoter. Passage of Little Gulls. Whinchat in bramble near motorway hedge, with 5 Stonechat @flamboroughbird.bsky.social
@ochrurosbirder.bsky.socialIt’s giving this…..😂
