Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In response to something mentioned on the podcast, I am pretty sure Micky Maher saw at least three sibe accs that autumn, but hilariously not the one 100 yards from his front door in Easington as he was on Shetland! 010
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Any honey buzzards from the raptor viewpoint, Nick? 100
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Good to remember that it's not all doom and gloom for nature - I went all the way to west Wales to see my first! 000
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Cetti's singing too - now so widespread I forgot to mention - but another that would have been unthinkable previously! 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Went to Bransholme Sewage Works hoping for a Common Scoter. Signs were good with only my second Red Kite for Hull over, then delighted to find a drake Garganey there @richardkbroughton.bsky.social 140
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Park on the corner (ample space) and there is a path in front of you. If you walk down that the field to your right is the one shrike favours - scan the hedge on the far side of the field 100
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Absolutely zilch when we were there on saturday too! They must have some fields where they hide out of sight 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Me and Ruby had 3 at Wykeham viewpoint between 10 and 1045 - were yours from there too? 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Guessing it is the bird that has frequented Hogganfield in previous winters? 100
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Assuming the high eske drake is a different bird, that's a nice tally of 3 drakes in the area 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Love my nl pure 10x32 - so light it barely feels like they're on my neck 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 11/01/2026I birded Islay by foot on new years eve and new years day. 81000 steps for Cackling goose (31st Dec) the standout, plus both eagles, two green winged teal, ring necked duck etc 010
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Wouldn't say no to Eastern Black Redstart too! 000
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Feels like they've had all the mega passerines in the past couple of years - must be our turn! 020
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Think only the 4th mainland Britain east coast record? 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Same with the geos and west cliffs of foula - the American passerines that must have arrived there! 010
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Did you check the berries for black throated thrush? 100

I have been glacially slow at pulling these thoughts together on the vagrancy/ID of these Nearctic Hare-footed Stunners. I hope it’s of use to some very lucky person one day somewhere in Europe. thanks for your time.raptoridentification.comA focus on juvenile light/pale morph Rough-legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus sanctijohannis) identification – Raptor Identification – The complete raptors guide 0215
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Brimstone and small tortoiseshell on the wing in kingswood too 010
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Did you park in Weel and walk south, Mark, or park in Wawne and walk north? 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Definitely. Ditto Siskins. Noted more song thrushes though. 010
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 28/01/2025I think they still add birds every year to keep the population going 100
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Don't qualify for Cat C5 in UK as not deemed self sustaining. Dutch birders and Swedish birders tick them. 120
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 29/12/2024If one is around, RSPB staff normally have pretty up to date information on where they've been seen that day 100
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 27/12/2024I saw the yellow warbler today on train from Birmingham. Can recommend! 120
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Plenty of shoveler in evidence today, but didn't see any gadwall. When I visited frequently on lock down walks I'd see 2-3 pairs of gadwall reliably and clocked a single pochard once. 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 14/12/2024@richardkbroughton.bsky.social Hi Richard, Egyptian goose on bransholme sewage works today. Any idea on previous records of this species in Hull? 110
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 03/11/2024She's been at spurn this past week too, Steve 000
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 24/08/2024How about a day trip on the scillonian from penzance? Plus a few bonus hours on scilly 120
Arash Marashi @birdingarash.bsky.social · 01/04/2024Phrases to add: 'would have been rude not to', 'just my 5th UK myrtle warbler' and 'which was nice' 040
