Day Twelve in Ghana saw my lifers increase to 126 species but head and shoulders above most were my first Egyptian Plovers. Some pics to edit properly on my return. 😀

Better views today of juvenile White-throated Needletail at Scarborough Castle, Yorkshire. I used to have stories of woe - missing by 30 mins, guillotined merger meetings, wind turbine misery, days of searching, etc. I now just have the wonder. Proper review of pics tomorrow. 😀

White-throated Needletail Final photo of this bird showing very well over Scarborough Castle on Fri 10 Oct. Good luck to all those looking at the weekend. With the number of people there hopefully it is relocated. @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @nybirdnews #BirdsSeenIn2025

Male Ortolan Bunting, Sierra de Gredos, Central Spain, June 2025 - there were three target birds to see and photograph - this stunning Bunting, Rufous-tailed Rock Thrush and White-rumped Swift - no decent shots of WRS - we did see three together at the Castillo.

Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Iona - I was lucky enough to see this colourful visitor recently, with a small group of visitors, before it disappeared:

This morning I was watching this Eyebrowed Thrush feeding on the lawn in the sunshine, all by myself. You could say it showed well!

Some relaxed high quality winter birding in Essex yesterday. Started off on the coast at Mersea Island before heading to Abberton Reservoir, finishing the day in a beautiful sunset at Copt Hall Farm.

Absolutely perfect but unexpected timing for the appearance of this Yellow Warbler in Kent today. Sensational views feeding constantly for two hours. What a way to round off the year!
