@LucyMcRobert1 @SoundApproachUK Count me in

Any birders got any interest in European woodpeckers? We have a little challenge we need some help with at @SoundApproachUK regarding identifying woodpeckers - if you’d like to have a go, please let me know! It’s all anonymous, we’re just doing some impromptu research. Thanks ☺️

Hi UK, here they come! Huge start of bird migration from the Waddensea westwards. Currently an bird migration traffic rate of 9000 birds per km per hour. Enjoy 😉

@Pennyshotbirdin Do you mind if I borrow your Eastern Crowned Warbler photo, please for an article on birding in Shetland in my local bird club newsletter? Full credit will be given, obviously.

Nice views of Common Buzzard on the patch, today. @AttenboroughNR @Nottswildlife

Only just spotted my typo lol

Andy so it continues... Arctic Warbler at Njugalswater today. #Shetland24 @shetlandbirds

@paulcoombes844 @Mike_Howard1966 @ShetlandWild @ScottishBirding @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK Crikey!

Pallas’s Gropper … Wow 🤩 with @Mike_Howard1966 #Garth #Shetland @ShetlandWild @ScottishBirding @birdguides @RareBirdAlertUK 1600hrs 07 Oct 2024

@01000011S Wow! Might have to go back for seconds if it sticks. Happy with my views, but these shots are next level.

Shetland 24 - the gift that keeps on giving. Great find by these guys and a bogey bird unblocked for me 😀🍷

@AndrewRLawson1 @AndyMVMillar Thanks. Will do 👍

@P1edfly99 @AndyMVMillar Sure. Credit Andy Millar please 🤘

Myself, Andy Millar and Martin Davis found this PG Tips at Garth, Mainland Shetland late morning. Pics courtesy of @AndyMVMillar . OBP found by us at Kergord yesterday. Still got 5 days to go! What's next?

The rares still flowing on Shetland with Paddyfield Warbler and Lanceolated Warbler hanging on today after me not being able to get on Unst y'day. A nice padder with a 3rd winter Glaucous Gull. Lancy photo in your honour @01000011S #Shetland24

@tomhines10 You nailed that!

Golden Oriole at Aith #Shetland @ShetlandWild @BirdGuides

@puffinpassion I'm in there somewhere

Eastern Crowned Warbler at Turriefield, Sandness, Shetland yesterday. A blurred record shot but with its incredibly illusive behaviour I was pleased to get anything! My 2nd (2009) Shetland’s 1st! Big crowds too for Shetland! #Shetland

Apart from the tricky mega in the form of the Eastern Crowned Warbler, Shetland so far has been notable for amazing views of rare/scarce species - Pechora Pipit, RCS, Little Bunting, Barred Warbler @shetlandbirds @RareBirdAlertUK

The Pechora Pipit at Quendale Mill today. 'Showing well' doesn't really cut it #Shetlands @RareBirdAlertUK

@terrorste Yeah, I retweeted it

@CleyBirds @P1edfly99 get that out to your birdy mates!

Did you have a terrific birding trip to Iceland in May, but then lose your SD card with your 3,700 bird photos in Norfolk? I have it!

@YDryw @AttenboroughNR The view point beyond the tower hide, opposite the bench

@P1edfly99 @AttenboroughNR @NottsBirders Where's the best place to view it from, please?

Awkward light this morning but satisfactory views of Pectoral Sandpiper at Attenborough NR today @AttenboroughNR @NottsBirders

@NathanielDargue @YorkBirding @BirdGuides @nybirdnews Surprised the Chelsea staff allowed you in

Great views of the Hoopoe at Stamford Bridge, feeding on front lawns this afternoon. Shows well when given space and allowed to approach you, quickly takes flight when walked towards @YorkBirding @BirdGuides @nybirdnews
