Cheers fella, never seen one and it was really dark coloured which threw me a bit plus the location too was weird, in a small pond near the Cairngorms upper car park

Strong easterlies produced big seas & bracing temperatures @flamboroughbird.bsky.social … but also birds. 12 Tundra Bean & 48 White-fronted Geese the highlight along with a Blue Fulmar, adult Little Gull & 1st winter Caspian Gull.

With only a handful previously this winter, it was nice to see a reasonable flock of Russian White-fronted Geese yesterday @flamboroughbird.bsky.social when 34 appeared out of the gloom, alighted briefly and then headed south across the headland.

After a dawn raid on the Point, this little beauty was cowering in the buckthorn on my birding walk back, not far south of the Breach at Spurn. Thomas Willoughby’s brilliant pic. Bird of a lifetime. A British tick as well 😂

Well that wasn't on my bingo card for today, even when news broke at Tophill. My kids missed the train home due to a slow bus, and so I was in Bridlington when the White-throated Needletail was refound at Bempton #birding #yorkshirebirding

Our group refound the East Yorkshire White-throated Needletail at Bempton Cliffs this afternoon. Unbelievable moment when it shot through as we were watching a Barn Owl! Raced down to cliffs to relocate and initially no sign, but it then reappeared and we had it flying over our heads 🤯🤯

Up to ten Minke Whales with periodic feeding frenzies @flamboroughbird.bsky.social on Thursday included a small calf. Quite a variation in dorsal fin shape and plenty of blows as very active. The blows are usually weak and faint but seem much more visible and strong when very actively feeding.

Not many birds today @flamboroughbird.bsky.social but an arrival of Red Admirals (130+) and a few Painted Lady and a Hummingbird Hawk Moth. A fine pair of Garganey rounded off another pleasant if quiet day.
