Black-browed Babbler in South Kalimantan, Borneo.
Only rediscovered to the world in 2020 after an absence since original finding in 1850...!!!

Hornsea Mere 31st May, ringed Osprey over my head. Turns out to be Gilshiel, (1B7), a 2 year old male from Kielder, was seen in Senegal in the winter and this is it's first sighting in the UK since fledging.
Very happy with that news.

Yellow-throated Laughingthrush, (very range restricted to NE India & Bangledesh). Also Indian Grassbird and a Baikal Bush Warbler which showed really well until the camera was lifted !!

A fine pair of Black-breasted Parrotbills showed well this morning at Toubul Marshes, Manipur, India.

Arguably the worst photos of Rail-babbler ever, but boy did they make me smile after 6 days looking for it in Taman Negara, Malaysia. A celebratory muffin in the forest was in order. Then Malaysian Blue-banded Kingfisher on the walk back... A good sweaty day done..

That juvenile has grown since I saw them

Whiteheads Spiderhunter, a Bornean endemic in Kinabalu NP today, after several days trying in 2013 and thus week.
Days like this remind me why we do what we do as birders.. Superb...

Borneo photos from the last few wet, flooded and dull light days!!! Daird's and Red-naped Trogon, Black-crowned Pitta and a Sabah Partridge

A dull rainy day in a Borneo rainforest, brightened up by 1st an immature female, then an adult female, and finally, the main event, a stunning adult male Bornean Peacock-Pheasant.
Worth the soaking trek up and down...

12 hours of waiting yesterday, but only female Bulwers Pheasants, Red-breasted and Crested Partridges. Today was a new day when this splendid male Bulwers Pheasant came in at 9am. Worth 15 hours of anyone's time. Mythical !!!

Very pleased with these few photographs of Variable Limestone Babbler at Hup Pa Tat in western Thailand today, (a bird endemic to this region and close neighbouring parts of Myanmar)

I did the same to Barrow in Alaska some years ago 😱🥶🥶🥶

Tough, but rewarding, day catching up with Turquoise-throated Barbet at Khao Luang N.P. (Poor photos due to height of trees and inaccessibility of viewing) !! This bird is restricted to a very small area of central peninsula Thailand. Easier was a Spotted Wood Owl before dusk two days ago

A mega fix of Nicobar Pigeons on the Similan Islands, southern coastal Thailand, today. The last one appears to have had it's nails done for us too ..... Great day, great birds.

Green Broadbill was an unexpected first new bird on our South-east Asia trip, plus one and a half Gould's Frogmouths and a male Large Blue Flycatcher made for a good morning at Sri Phang Na N.P. in Thailand

Stu, if you visit the IOC website you can download an excel spreadsheet of current world list and then search any species, whether split or lumped, with notes in the margins of taxanomic history

Does anyone know how to set Bluesky so it opens where you left off and doesn't zip to the most recent post.
Therefore having to scroll backwards.
It's infuriating !!!
