Well done mate, good to chat on Saturday morning albeit briefly, looking at your photo, it was well worth hanging around for!

New birds are most welcome especially during the 'quieter' months of the birding year!

Thermal Imaging question. Does any one use the Pulsar Telso XQ35 for birding? if so, how does it perform out in the field ? #BirdingGear

Great photos Brian of what is now a very scarce bird in the county!

Lesser-crested Tern is now being touted as the species in question?

Just picked this up from the framers and hung it on my study wall. A beautiful drawing from an original photo of the Siberian Rubythroat I found on Fetlar in 2019. Thanks to @ruths-portraits.bsky.social for doing such a beautiful commission for me #ukbirding

Tough 7 mile slog around Thorpeness this morning with @scottmayson.bsky.social with highlights being 2 Firecrest and 3 Great Egret. Pallas's Warbler at Aldeburgh Church was to close not to give it a look.
