My thirst has been quenched with this #portlamdica White-cheeked Tern off Fujairah. Smaller than the accompanying Common Terns, slight different flight action (yet to be formalised), darker upperparts n rump, thick smudge through secondaries on underwing and dusky belly markings #ornithology

Explored some new areas today , for me anyway and found a vocalising Lesser spot Woody 😀. The expected Firecrests were singing at several sites including two associating with the Faversham Pallas’s Warbler #kentbirding

BLUE-WINGED PITTA!!! Way better than I expected!!! So much better finding (well observing my own, cause I mean the bird was alive before I saw it) your own. Observed a pair breeding too at a new site was magic #ornithology #BirdingThailand #BirdersForPalestine

A fantastic morning on the patch, this crippling male Red backed shrike hopped out in front of me on fox hill down, Langdon cliffs. Later whilst watching it with a small crowd, a female Red foot came over low and continued North,picked up by Paul Holt. #kentbirding #ukrarebirds

Highlights this week include reappearance of the Ferruginous Duck on Posbrook Flood! Work unusually busy at the mo so early morning pre-work walks/cycles savoured even more 😌 #PWC2025 #LowCarbonBirding

Early morning sun over an arable field with trees in the distance. It is misty in the distance but otherwise sunny and clear skies

Still a wintry theme @fairislebirdobs.bsky.social, with Iceland Gull and two Russian Whitefronts the recent highlights. Signs of spring are beginning to appear though, with the first Mistle Thrush, Stonechat and Pied Wagtail in the last week, and numbers of Ringed Plover and Skylark building

One of the things I love about Bluesky and the Feeds function, you see stuff you wouldn’t see on Twitter, pretty much ever. And I love seeing active bird clubs using social media so well like this. I’m sure they were active on TW but I just didn’t see it.

With a steady increase in birders coming across to BlueSky, I've had a first go at setting up a feed for Essex birding - please search for the feed, pin and like it! Anything tagged with #essexBirding will get picked up, and flow through into the UK birding feed.
