@philjo61 @dutchbirding Great that Phil. What's the email and how much would a print cost . Was made up seeing the gorgeous spectacled eider last February.

Done a painting of the Spectacled Eider on Texel which I managed to twitch last weekend, a mega of all megas. If anyone made the trip and wants a print please message me @dutchbirding @BirdsSeenIn2025

A dawn visit to the Wyre Forest with @Kfordnature eventually gave fantastic views of a pair of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.

1st Winter Male King Eider at Dornoch this afternoon enjoying feeding in the breakers crashing against the rocks. Along with over a hundred Long Tailed Ducks and a mix of Common/Velvet scoters out at sea with 3 Surf Scoters. @RSPBScotland @visitdornoch @NatureScot

This Harlequin Duck seen at Curransport, Donegal, Ireland on Monday 1 December is starting to look rather smart now. @BirdWatchIE @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK

Another road trip to see the lovely Boat-tailed Grackle at Hampshire. What an amazing bird with so much character 💙 @DanielWalm66011 @Natures_Voice @BirdGuides

My first Woodcock of the Autumn in an usual place! Around 20m up the 100m cliff face at Bempton, presumably exhausted after its North Sea crossing last night. Spotted by a friend first thing and still there around midday. 01-11-2025 @Bempton_Cliffs @FlamboroughBird @nybirdnews

A sandpiper day! Amazing views and our 380th lifer the Baird’s sandpiper at Rutland Water and Pectoral sandpiper at Easington Lagoons 11.10.25 @DanielWalm66011 @LandRbirds @spurnbirdobs @BirdGuides @Natures_Voice

Red-breasted Flycatcher near Czerlonka, Podlasie, Poland. Even on the breeding grounds, a lot of the singing birds are first summer birds that don't have a red breast, so to get a full adult male is always a treat!

Look who’s back 😃 #spectacledeider #Texel

The returning SPECTACLED EIDER, Texel, Netherlands. 📷 photo by Rodney Stolk.

The 10 hour round trip was worth seeing our 379th lifer, a Turkestan Shrike at Dunwich Heath, Suffolk. Also, a White-tailed Eagle flying over 05.10.25 ☀️ @DanielWalm66011 @RareBirdAlertUK @Natures_Voice @SuffolkBirdGrp @BirdGuides

@Lesliecater1 @RSPBMinsmere @Natures_Voice @BTO_Suffolk Fantastic shots @Lesliecater1

Photographing into the strong early morning light can be a problem, but with a bit of positioning of your self if possible, you can use the side lighting to your advantage. This male Bearded Tit @RSPBMinsmere from island mere hide was part of a larger flock this morning. 😊

WHITE-TAILED PLOVER in the Netherlands could this be the returning individual heading for the UK ?

@Axaxia88 @NicH2024

An unusual, scarce, light-colored Bohemian waxwing 😍

@KGbirder @birdinglothian @NicH2024

I dread to think how many pictures I’ve taken of the various White-winged Scoter in Lothian this year, but the total has increased again this am with another close swim past at Musselburgh. It looks like it should be a 2cy but has a wholly dark belly? @birdinglothian

AUDENSHAW RES, Gtr Manchester - MEGA!! SURF SCOTER found by Rob Adderley this morning! first for GM apparently @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK
