Long Nab Birder

First returning Honey Buzzard seen from Wykeham Forest Raptor Viewpoint c08.30 this morning. BOC shot from a visiting birder. #scarbrough @nybirdnews @BirdGuides

"He was just a birder" might have worked🤔😁

A nice tour of #Yorkshire today. The morning spent birding with an old mate @AndyMbirder searching the gravel pits of Finningley, 2 Temminck's Stints the stars. Family visits in Barnsley then a slight detour on the way home to Nosterfield for two stunning White-winged Black Terns

@tomhines10 🤣👌

Today I twitched something different, but I didn't need my bin-oculars (geddit?). One of the last David Mellor model 601 yellow bins, designed in 1957, still in use in Sheffield at Burton Lane. Bonus green bin at the back making it a 2-bin-tick day 😎

@DaleHornsea Take care Dale🤞

@AlanDaviesbirds 🤣

@AddeyNick That will be north then doh!!

926 Sandwich Terns north past Penmon Point in last 3 hours #vismig #Anglesey

Juvenile Long-winged Harrier #Argentina January 2026 #teamYorkshire

One of my faves from #Argentina . A species with a serrated bill to cut plant material efficiently. A male White-tipped Plantcutter at Ceibas, February 2026. #teamYorkshire

@WildscenesUK @waderquest @Natures_Voice @BirdGuides @freebirdnewsuk @RareBirdAlertUK Fantastic John❤️

Almost in full breeding plumage, this spotted redshank was the standout bird from a quiet, grey day at Blacktoft Sands yesterday. I like the gadwall for a sense of scale as to the size of the wader. @waderquest @Natures_Voice @BirdGuides @freebirdnewsuk @RareBirdAlertUK

SERIN flew south at 10.45 #Longnab #Scarborough @BirdGuides @nybirdnews

Thirty-two years today!❤️ #Kenya

One of my most wanted birds on my recent Antarctica/South America trip was Magellanic Woodpecker, having dipped this species 22 years ago in Chile. A wonderful treat to bump into a family party at Tierra Del Fuego National Park in January. #chile

Ten male Black Grouse showed well in Arkengarthdale today late morning, 30 mins later I returned to the same area and there were none! @nybirdnews

@glynsellors Bridge camera...Sony RX10 Mkiv

@AddeyNick What camera and lens?

Using the car as a hide in the desert has its advantages! Lots of larks feeding at Ayn Hamran southern plain. This one of two Montagu's Harriers hunting there this morning. #Oman

@aquilabirding 😪

Sadly the day's are gone when you could visit 2 nest sights in one day in the UK.

@AddeyNick Common Snipe?

The well watered plants at the hotel creates an opportunity not to be missed for this wintering Pin-tailed Snipe. Two flights cancelled so far, maybe we can get back to the UK next week🤞 #Oman

@PeterTreloar3 @Merseybirders @qatarairways @TurkishAirlines Nightmare!

@AddeyNick @Merseybirders @qatarairways @TurkishAirlines On the news this morning that airspace is expected to be closed for 3 or 4 weeks! Keep safe, and birding.

Was due to fly out of Oman on Saturday evening, but it all kicked off big time, and now we're stuck with no flights and very little information from the world's best airline @qatarairways, I'm a birder get me out of heeerrreee
