Enjoyed some wonderful views of this juvenile Pallid Harrier in the south Mainland of Shetland for the last few evenings. An absolute stunner! #BirdingScotland #UKbirding #RareBirdsUK #Birds #UKWildlife

Common migrants down on yesterday's visit to Shingle Street, but pleased with a juvenile Montagu's harrier that bombed through north way too quick, and the Pied Flycatcher that remained by the allotments #UKBirding #SuffolkBirding

Great to finally catch up with the not so Long-tailed Shrike having dipped the bird in Fife. Showed very well at times feasting on bees.

After a bit of a wait the Roseate Tern put in an appearance showing of a nice pink flush to its underparts. 14 Little Terns and a cracking male Ruff made for a nice end to the day. #SuffolkBirds

1/2. Well that was tad frustrating! Having recently seen the @landguardbo.bsky.social Tawny Pipit, today I found my own (presumably the LBO bird?) st Shingle Street. Bird initially flushed and landed some 30mts in front of me, watched it through bins for a few seconds before it... #SuffolkBirding

Just returned from a much needed break to the Shetland Isles (my 14th visit) with @scottmayson.bsky.social and @wallcreeper1.bsky.social For me, my birding highlight of the trip was watching my 3rd Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler down to 20ft with 7 other birders whilst on Unst.

Congratulations to William Brame @landguardbirder.bsky.social for realising this was a different white butterfly. Now confirmed by @chrisvanswaay.bsky.social as a Southern Small White - the first seen in England. As it is a female let's hope it has been laying eggs. @matthewberry.bsky.social
