Another stunning ringing session at @SoultonHall yesterday 🐦
A fantastic mix of species including 2 Yellowhammer, 2 Stonechat, 1 Fieldfare & Reed Bunting, plus more.
This special site just keeps giving 🌿✨

The rain fell as only it can in Lancashire, but failed to dampen spirits as @manchesterbirder.bsky.social and I birded the Southport marshes & Martin Mere. Snow Goose, RN Duck, waders galore, pink feet & raptors all enjoyed in good company. Carl did so well with his camera in poor light ! #ukbirding
A great age 👏
A Redpoll caught on 17/10/25 at Cannock Chase, Staffs was already wearing a ring and we’ve just learned it was first ringed on 17/10/2020, exactly 5 years earlier 275km (170m) at Icklesham, Sussex
These little birds never stop surprising us! 🐦✨
Hume’s Leaf Warbler (left two) and Yellow-browed Warbler (right two) showing the subtle but distinctive differences between plumage tones and patterns.
A comparison of Hume’s Leaf Warbler (Wells Woods), left, and Yellow-browed Warbler (Holkham), right, from the last two days. Subtle but distinctive differences between these two similar Phylloscopus species supported by their quite different calls. #NorfolkBirding
Finally found time to catch up with the Desert Wheatear today at The Fleet bridging camp near Weymouth - thank you Bret for the find. Weather not condusive to great pictures but the bird gave us wonderful opportunity to do our best. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds #ukbirding
Quiet on Holy Island today with Andy Mould, Ian Davison & Ian Kerr, nothing really new just less of yesterday's birds. Good to pop in for second helpings of the Dusky Warbler and this time manage to get some photos albeit with lots of difficulty🙂 #UKbirding #NEbirding
A Yellow-browed Warbler quickly moving along a coastal hedge at Warham Greens showing a double wing bar and long supercilium
A very elusive Dusky Warbler eventually gives a brief view. Mainly heard ‘tacking’ and ‘tucking’ from a dense Ivy and Bramble hedgerow behind North Point Pools

A nice end to what had been a fairly quiet walk around Warham Greens when I got back to North Point and in very quick succession a Yellow-browed Warbler was quickly upstaged by a calling Dusky Warbler #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding
Desert wheatear at seasalter bringing the total so far to 186 for the patch #kentbirding #ukbirding
Dusky Warbler at South Landing this morning #yorkshirebirding
Great to catch another #Firecrest yesterday amongst a nice selection of autumn species during a garden ringing session. The 6th #Treecreeper of the year was particularly notable for the site, I’m usually lucky if I get 1 here per year! #birdringing #GowerBirds @gowerbirds.bsky.social

Ridiculous views of this juv Sabine's Gull at Troon today, all credit to @BedsGulls for finding #UkBirding
The Olive-backed Pipit showed well at South Gare today. 3rd new Pipit of year and #270 of year. First year I’ve counted from 1st Jan & wanted to get to UK #300 by end of 2025. I now have 1 to go, this beautiful Pipit was UK #299. #ukbirding #birds #pipits
Barred Warbler (Curruca nisoria)

The Barred Warbler at Landguard was mostly true to type, skulking in thick privet bushes but did show very well occasionally. The Pallas's Warbler was very elusive but I did eventually manage to catch up with it. #suffolkbirding #ukbirds
Another incredible Redpoll recovery! 🔁
One of our Cannock Chase birds was already ringed first tagged on 29/07/23 in Stonehaugh, Northumberland, 258 km away 🗺️
Re-caught by us on 18/10/25, helping build a fantastic picture of Redpoll movements across the UK! 🐦✨

Decent patch round today, with Tundra Bean, 2 Yellow-browed, Pied Fly, Lesser Whitethroat, and Sibe Chiff. Gotta be something tasty from the west hiding out there somewhere though 🤔 .... #YellBirding #Shetland
WATERSWALLOWS Reservoir, Buxton, Derbyshire - Started slowly with 2 Teal which was a site tick, 4 Tufted Duck, 35 Lapwing, 1 Little Grebe and on the main quarry pool was gobsmacked to find a GREY PHALAROPE spinning in the distance. @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social #ukbirding
...also on the ringing front: we've received notification of a fantastic recovery of a Firecrest ringed here last October that was controlled a few days ago by a ringer in the Czech Republic - the first movement of a UK-ringed Firecrest to the Czech Republic or indeed to anywhere in central Europe

Buff-bellied (American) Pipit & Lapland Bunting were nice on St Agnes recently #ukbirding
A Hoopoe, a tan bird with black and white stripes on the wings and a crest, stands on boulders
No sign of the American Mourning Dove yesterday on St Agnes so we'll try again today. A Hoopoe was nice compensation though! @sophieshrike.bsky.social #IoSBirding #IslesofScillyBirding #UKBirding #RareBirdsUK
Lapland Bunting, Dunwich yesterday. A scarce migrant through Suffolk (rarely over winters), Lapland Bunting numbers have varied from 6-21 (av. 11) in the county over the past 10 years and is now hard to connect with, so it was nice to find this #ukbirding #suffolkbirding
Rewarding seawatch at Point of Ayr this morning, with a single Leach’s Petrel and 3 Arctic Skuas including these two very dark chocolate brown juveniles. Beautiful markings. Glad I had my camera at the ready when they flew along the beach. #birdingwales @birdsinwales.bsky.social
Managed to connect with the stunning male Turkestan Shrike on Saturday, after relocating it early morning. Even managed to get some reasonable photos – which is always a bonus.

Absolutely mind-blowing views of the male Siberian Thrush at Loch of Asta, Shetland this afternoon...

A magic week on Islay comes to an end in the morning. The Buff-breasted Sand reappeared today and gave brilliant views. The monumental arrival of Barnacle Geese continues and an Otter performed in front of the lounge window this evening. This place is just magic #UkBirding #BirdMigration
The Mill Inn at Harwood Dale has reopened. You can now enjoy refreshments while getting your Turtle Dove fix!
