When a bird dropped out of the sky and headed straight under my car at Longstanton Lagoons, Cambs this morning, I wasn't expecting it to be a Black Redstart but I'll take it! Seemingly moved on after a few minutes @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds

Barra's first coal tit for 2 years has sulphur yellow cheeks & appears to be of the Irish race P.a.hibernicus. I have no experience of this race & no idea what the liklihood is of it reaching Barra. Comments welcome. @birdguides.bsky.social @rayb126.bsky.social #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK

Coal tit possibly of the Irish race P.a.hibernicus
