Wheatear and Red legged partridge in field opposite feeding station at Lytchett fields this afternoon. @DorsetBirds @ianballam @LizWoodford1

@lynda_lambert @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetWildlife @Britnatureguide Very nice Lyn😊

I never tire of finding Firecrests, found two just down the lane from home this afternoon. Maybe the same ones that were in my garden two days ago 🤔

@lynda_lambert No problem Lyn, it’s never a easy bird to photograph, nice to see you, great you got a lifer!!

As I've never seen a Yellow browed warbler , I'm determined to give my record shots an outing! Drat those Ivy berries😅 Hatch Pond this afternoon, @BrianChard4 Sorry I didn't' recognise you Brian and you were so kind about my effort's😅

@lynda_lambert Seasons greetings to you Lyn, best wishes for 2026.

🎄To all my Twitter friends and followers , thanks for all the likes and comments this past year. All much appreciated🎄

@lynda_lambert @Photos2Print @Britnatureguide @Natures_Voice Sounds fantastic Lyn, enjoy!!

Not perfect technically but how often do you see these three species sitting on a fence together? It was just seconds before this happened, then this. Unbelievably @Photos2Print counted 11 Hoopoes around the fence before they all flew off into a tree. Pre migration maybe?

@StephMurphy66 @SharonTowning You certainly captured a great shot of Wryneck👏👏 well done you Sharon

@StephMurphy66 @SharonTowning Great shot Steph

So, after spending hours watching and taking pics of the #Wryneck at the Turf, I’ve decided that this is my fav photo of it. Sharon Towning on Facebook wins it for me! @SharonTowning

@lynda_lambert @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @harbourbirds Hi Lyn, I would see one pair and usually more in the past, but on that visit sadly none.

@BrianChard4 @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @harbourbirds I was only thinking the same recently, I don't see many these days Brian.

Spent a hour at Hatchpond early afternoon while car was being MOT and was surprised to not see any Great crested grebes, a few years back you would have seen 2-3 pairs. I’m not sure this is the norm or I was unlucky. @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @harbourbirds

@FegWitch Great shots of a fantastic bird

The Wryneck gave brilliant views in the area around the Turf locks on the River Exe this morning to the delight of many people. Glad it stayed for another day, a magical bird to see 😀

@hobbylovinglife @worlebirder @_BTO @RareBirdAlertUK @freebirdnewsuk Great set of images

What an amazing trip to Cwm Cadlan, Glamorgan early this morning with Dean @worlebirder to see 4 Dotterel which were so confiding #walesbirding @_BTO @RareBirdAlertUK @freebirdnewsuk

@AlfieBirder @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @Britnatureguide @britishbirds Many thanks

@BrianChard4 @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @Britnatureguide @britishbirds Gorgeous shot!!

A lifer for me on the river Stour this evening, great to see Little Bittern even it was obscured by the branches. @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @Britnatureguide @britishbirds

@borneokirb @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @Britnatureguide @britishbirds Fingers crossed for you Paul🤞hopefully it does.

@BrianChard4 @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetBirds @Britnatureguide @britishbirds Nice one, Brian. Hopefully hangs around for me tomorrow afternoon.

@JDriver_Pendle That’s great many thanks much appreciated, you certainly had a great day with HH as well that’s certainly a real treat. Looking forward to it

@BrianChard4 Hi Brian yes it was nearby to the black grouse. On the same road to the north east there's a viewpoint area with a grassy clearing. They were both there.

Great day yesterday in North Wales. Started off with seven black grouse + 2 ring ouzels but the stars of the show were undoubtedly the pair of hen harriers. HH has been top of my 'pending lifer list' for years! We ended the day with distant views of the Bonaparte's Gull at Conwy.

@PaulRalston17 Ok many thanks, not a easy bird to see these days

@BrianChard4 Willow tit was near the feeders at Lyn Brenig regular there

Adders Kites and Willow Tits seen on the moors this morning
