Got lucky this morning as the Long-tailed Shrike was sat waiting for us when we arrived. Nice to see it with a rainbow behind too, just before it got a good soaking.

I’ve not spent much time at the patch lately, so was lucky to have 5 Arctic Tern waiting for me there when I popped in yesterday. Foxcote Reservoir, Bucks.

When you go to Sheringham for the Eastern Black Redstart, and this is the first bird that pops up when you arrive 🤣

Us inland birders have to mostly make do with the commoner species at this time of year. Little Grebe at Foxcote Reservoir this morning. 🪶

Wilson’s Storm Petrel, so close to the boat that we didn’t even need bins to I.D. them. From the Penzance pelagic on Sunday. 🪶

A shout of Cory’s went out and I looked up to see it hurtling towards me! Such a memorable experience aboard the Mermaid pelagic on Sunday. 🪶

One of the many Wilson’s Storm Petrel seen from the Penzance pelagic. Such a challenge to photograph with the boat rocking about, and the speed they whizzed above the waves at. 🪶

Had a fantastic Mermaid pelagic trip off Penzance on Sunday. The sight of 15 Wilson’s Storm Petrel “dancing” on the water was absolutely magical.

I spent a good couple of hours sat watching Redstart at Thursley Common, where several pairs were busy collecting food.

Working nearby this morning meant I had the chance to try for the Woolbeding Honey Buzzards, couldn’t believe my luck when one did a close fly-by after 10 minutes wait. No further sign after 2 hours.

I finally saw one of my dream birds in Cyprus last week. It’s always a great feeling seeing a species you’ve only ever looked at in field guides. Collared Pratincole at Akrotiri.
