Thanks Tim, that's very kind of you. Thrilled to hear you're enjoying it. Hopefully plenty more interesting pods to come with the exciting autumn weeks ahead!

Great birds. Miss having a local tip! How are YLG numbers there this year?

Episode 3 of the BirdGuides Podcast explores some of the top July rarities over the years – and also highlights how inefficient we are all are at twitching

Looking at this from afar, it would seem feasible (likely) that the bird has wintered locally and is now conducting pre-nuptial moult ahead of moving off. Very similar to what a bird did in Lincs in 2017.

Much less time in the field for me in 2025 but it ended on a high when this white-morph Snow Goose appeared among the local Whooper Swan flock on Christmas Eve. Seemingly wedded to the swans having presumably arrived with them in the autumn …

I don’t twitch either, but as a patch birder I find it really useful for seeing what’s going on nationally. For example, when species such as Black Terns or waders are moving in the spring. Definitely don’t need to be a twitcher to get plenty out of it.

Based on the sole image seems to be the candida group from the Pacific and Indian Oceans (stout bill with a blueish base) - the record from Bermuda was also of this group #Ornithology #UKBirding @samviles.bsky.social

A rare opportunity in the gloom of Sunday morning to see three scarce Aythya species side by side at Tallington Lakes in South Lincs. One of those patch pinch-me moments! @lincsbirding.bsky.social

This Black-throated Diver at Baston Pits on 20 November was a special bird for me. As well as a patch tick, it was my 200th species of 2024 in the Peterborough Bird Club recording area – a milestone that I hoped to reach but didn't realistically think would be doable inland! @birdguides.bsky.social

Nice! Would be interesting to know where those wigeon have come from. Love how quickly birds find these places.
