@msabirder Thanks for the radio shout, Mark - twas was a lovely one! 🤗

I've seen sun dogs before, but not a rainbow one, with bonus Little Egret ..... #kilnsea today

@lizardschwartz "It appears I'm filled with rage." 😐

Collared Doves are so stunning 😍😍😍 #BirdRinging

@BirdGuides I'm not sure what the Great Circle has to do with it! Shortest distance from Pacific off Columbia to Zanzibar is approx 18,300km depending on exact locations, not the 13,000km quoted in article. I'd love to see the mythical route that a whale could take for 13,046km 😉

One of the longest and most unusual migrations recorded in a Humpback Whale has sparked intrigued among scientists: bit.ly/409dTBr

lemme see pics of your wildlife tattoos 👇

Getting rather excited for my Costa Rica trip. I've just booked an overnight trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest with a local birding company part way through the holiday - should be amazing! 🦜🐦🐦‍⬛🦅🦆🦉🍸🪳

@mick_turton Mick Turton - Th'Owl Whisperer. 🦉

Walked within about five yards of these two dozing peacefully. Took this phone shot and left them totally unaware. Made my day.

- which one are you holding? - salt. - hello? yes, it’s the pepper grinder wedged in his anus…

I've been meaning to pop the top off this chap for ages! Finally got round to it today.

@themarshtit It is ABSOLUTELY the law that you have to look out of the window when you hear the Wink Winks. Never, ever get bored of that sound. 😍

Jeremy Clarkson looks stunning under the pink moonlight...... 😍

@Sibe4me @Alexander_Lees @MarburyBirds Our pond is very much depleted these days! We have the joy of emptying it and replacing the liner this winter..... No singing in the shower for this YBW. Lots of full-on wing fluffing though!

@Clickbeetle85 @Alexander_Lees @MarburyBirds You also do have a pond... and they are leaf-warblers...so they are leaf-bathers as well...so was it singing in its leaf-bath? 🤣

Easington birds..a very quiet day with most birds seemingly moved on..but the pond attracted the Ring Ouzel, now in its fifth day, a Blackcap and 2 Grey Wagtails...with a calling Yellow-br Warbler close by but not viewable. Do they ever drink or bathe? 😁 @MarburyBirds

@Sibe4me @Alexander_Lees @MarburyBirds We had a YBW vigorously bathing on a sycamore leaf in the garden the other morning. Looked to be thoroughly enjoying itself!

@Alexander_Lees @MarburyBirds Yes...if wet but the garden is bone dry...that said, there is other water nearby..

A couple of gravid Garden Cross Spiders (Araneus diadematus) found recently. Amazing to see the variation in colour! The pale one was really quite striking in person (in spider?). I've never seen one so pale. Both beautiful ladies! 😍

More top work by our brilliant residential volunteers & staff. This time, creating a pond in Schipper's Field. Rarity predictions so far range from Swinhoe's Storm Petrel and Egyptian Plover to Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper and a thirsty Ovenbird... what do you reckon?

Check out this #migfest24 highlights on this amazing short video created by @YorkshireThings over the weekend. youtu.be/_XZfYzrqNsI #migfest25 will be held over the weekend of 12/13/14 September, so save the date, and ticket information will be released in the Spring.

Very much looking forward to my day off tomorrow. The joys of being self-employed!! Hoping to spend the day mopping up all the birds that haven't been found today... 😆😆

Nothing like a little "tsu-weet" with your coffee in a morning. 😊 #Autumn
