Hey birders. Does anyone have any advise about how to see the Musselburgh White winged scoters? Does tide matter etc? Thanks in advance

It was a remarkable spring for Long-eared Owl encounters. Biggest surprise was how early in the evening the adults would come out to hunt. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @rspb.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social #LongEaredOwl #LongEaredOwls #LongEaredOwlMale

One of my favourite photos I have taken this year, has been of this Barn Owl side lit, in front of a dark bush in the shade. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #BarnOwl #BarnOwls #BarnOwlPhotography #BacklitPhotography #GoldenLight #GoldenHour

Despite becoming a regular 'mega', I hadn't seen a Hudsonian Godwit in Britain before the weekend. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @birdguides.bsky.social #HudsonianGodwit #Godwit #Cattawade #Suffolk #Essex #SuffolkWildlife #EssexWildlife #RareBird #RareBirds

This Siskin was a bit of a surprise a couple of weeks ago. Not a species I expect close to home in July. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com. Don't forget to follow me on instagram or facebook - @justwildimages

A few shots of an adult male Long-eared Owl hunting long before sunset, back in May when it had many hungry mouths to feed! More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @lincswildlife.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social #OwlHunting #OwlInFlight #DaylightHunting #UKOwls #BritishOwls #NocturnalBirds

A few of photos of drake Crossbills taken back in May. Sadly this pool has long dried out. You do have to feel for these birds in dry spells. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @forestryengland.bsky.social

It's been a great season for Long-eared Owls in south Lincs, with up to 8 broods found, often with four 'branching' young. Here are two of a brood of four from May. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social #LongEaredOwl #LongEaredOwlChicks

Last week I spent an enjoyable couple of hours at a friend's reflection pool hide one evening. This Garden Warbler made a couple of brief visits — great to be just a few metres away from this often difficult to see species. More on justwildimages.blogspot.com

Not long back from a day trip to south Wales to see the Western Reef Heron. Great to connect after dipping on it a few weeks ago in north Wales! @jrmjones.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #WesternReefHeron #ReefHeron #GannEstuary #Pembrokeshire #SouthWales #WalesWildlife #RareBird #RareBirds

After watching this Barn Owl last night for 15 minutes, it suddenly started panting. Hunting to feed it's young, must have been hard going this week! More on justwildimages.blogspot.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

This Mute Swan was ringed as a cygnet in November 2024 on the River Witham at Lincoln. On the 2nd May 2026, I photographed it on the River Welland at Deeping Lakes @lincswildlife.bsky.social @lincolnswans.bsky.social for the info. @btobirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Been an incredible start to my patch year list at Deeping Lakes @lincswildlife.bsky.social. We had Russian White-fronted Geese on or over the reserve most days last weekend. What a treat! justwildimages.blogspot.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @weedonsworld.bsky.social

A couple of record shots of the Woodlark at Ferry Meadows, from mid-week. A Peterborough area first for me. Hugh Wright and I got unexpected great scope views. @weedonsworld.bsky.social @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social @britishbirds.bsky.social @paolobolton.bsky.social

The Woodlark that’s keeping company with upwards of 65 Skylark at Ferry Meadows, P’boro, Cambs, isn’t an easy bird to see, but it occasionally gives itself up when the flock relocates to the field south of the railway @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social @csmbs.bsky.social #ukbirds

Bewick's Swan was my last new species for my 2025 patch list at Deeping Lakes, last year. I ended the year on 148, which was a new record for me. Not bad for an inland patch that's so small. More on justwildlimages.blogpost.com @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

🔥 Up Helly Aa at Scalloway didn’t disappoint! First fire festival of the season in Shetland — wild weather, but it stayed dry for the main event. Here’s the galley just before its fiery send-off. More on the blog! @promoteshetland.bsky.social #UpHellyAa #Shetland #FireFestival #Scalloway
