A pair of tame juvenile Hobby offered a rare opportunity to get a close up view of a species that is rarely stationary or close. A nice break from counting distant wildfowl for work! #birding#ukbirding
Beautiful still clear autumn morning on the local patch at Aston's Eyot this morning topped off with the first Redwing of the autumn which came in from high to the east and dropped into the top of a Poplar #UKBirding
Some more birding highlights from a trip to Doñana. A fantastic place despite the clear degradation and intense agricultural pressures. #birding#birdingspain
Nice! Cattle Egret surely a matter of time with the numbers at Otmoor. Big numbers of YBW further north 🤞
Great effort Tom! What’s your most common species missing now?
Great bit of footage. Captures the excitement/stress of seawatching perfectly, particularly the expletive towards the end!
Easily the best bird of the recent trip to Spain - Red-necked Nightjar! Two birds roosting in the road whilst searching, in vain, for Iberian Lynx. Consolation prize of Wild Boar though, made for an epic evening. #birding#europeanbirding
A sweep up the Iberian coast for the regions specialities. The Shrike was surprisingly easy, as was the Magpie in the right habitat. Both Ducks and the Coot were only seen at one site each, the WH and Coot at some horrid dumping pond! Eagle and Woodpecker missing means a future return is necessary.
