The Black-headed Bunting on North Ronaldsay yesterday was hanging around the seaweed and walls to shelter from the strong Westerlies. An unexpected bird in these weather conditions. Another great find by @maddyhine.bsky.social. Photos taken by Charles. #BirdingScotland #OrkneyBirding

Another day, another bird. This Black-headed Bunting found by @maddyhine.bsky.social is our 9th island record and first since 2012. Needless to say, another island tick! #OrkneyBirding

I have been meaning to get a blog going for a while now, and @georgenorthron.bsky.social abandoning me to go to Finland seemed to provide the motivation. Read about my winter away from the island and getting back into birding now I’m back! #OrkneyBirding birdingnorthronaldsay.blogspot.com

An amazing afternoon spent with Ptarmigan at Cairngorm. Beautiful birds to see up close, and a long overdue lifer for me ☺️ #UKbirding #BirdingScotland #Birds

Taiga Bean Geese at Slamannan today took a bit of work to find with @tomgale98.bsky.social and @georgenorthron.bsky.social, but eventually saw them pretty well. Smew on the way back to Edinburgh was an added bonus #UKbirding

What a year it has been @northronbirdobs.bsky.social ! Personal highlights include Ortolan Bunting, Great Snipe, Black-faced Bunting, Long-tailed Skua, Stone-curlew (island mega!), and a pterdroma now in the hands of the BBRC powers that be as a Zino’s Petrel! #UKbirding
