Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Spent yesterday in Cornwall with Ash and Dad, the Lesser Kestrel decided to have a lie-in before finally showing up for the assembled crowd… but it was absolutely worth the wait even in the grim conditions! What a bird! 040
Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 04/05/2026After spending yesterday in Cornwall i was convinced I’d missed out on the Spotted Sandpipers that turned up just 30 minutes from home… but thankfully both birds performed brilliantly on the River Ouse this morning. Massive relief! 140
Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 03/04/2025On Sunday at Brooklands Pleasure Park, this Water Rail put on a spectacular show, feeding just a few feet away at times. It's not often you get such close views of this shy bird. 030
Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Last night at Medmerry, this 1stW Least Sandpiper put on an impressive show, feeding at the water's edge as the tide receded. 030
Reposted by Michael BookerPete Morris @birdingpete.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Probably the best of the superb gamebirds seen in #Sabah, #Borneo, was this male Bornean Peacock Pheasant. One of the best of an excellent and secretive genus, and a species that was so hard to see until recently. #worldbirding #birding #birdphotography 0525
Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 14/11/2024The stunning Lapland Bunting at Staines last Saturday put on an absolutely incredible display for the gathered crowd; it was clear that it had likely never seen humans before! 050
Michael Booker @climpingbirder.bsky.social · 11/11/2024First post here! Kicking things off with my the Pied Wheatear at Seaford Head on Saturday. After searching for 3.5 hours, I finally tracked it down! With Matt Eade. 150
