I know it's not April 1st but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. A three legged #GreenSandpiper Obviously a freak of nature but I imagine very rare. Taken at #LangfordLakes Wiltshire 22/08/25. Shot in Raw format.

Thought it would be a quiet day at St Aidan’s today but ended up finding this Collared Pratincole, very happy! #Swillyings #StAidans @SwillyIngsBG #birding #pratincole

@TomCadwallender very good Mr Bond

A new specs day outside one of my favourite buildings in Newcastle.

This is KITTLITZ’S MURRELET! one of my main targets on our boat trip out of Seward Alaska. It likes to feed near the glacial melt waters close to the ice. We had some great views along with Rhinoceros Auklets and Ancient Murrelets! with ⁦@a1virginia⁩

The Two Black-Winged Stilts at Seaton Wetlands was a nice end to the weekend. They both showed well for the constant trickle of birders. Thank you to the finder. @DevonBirds @wildeastdevon

Today ,on the rare occasion of me doing a sea watch at Portland Bill,l was just about to give up and go home when this Night Heron flew in and landed on the Pulpit Rock. Amazing.

@TheJollyBirder have you moved on from the lumix?

What an unexpected and unseasonal stunner! Red-flanked Bluetail at Grutness, south mainland Shetland today, found by Roger Riddington this morning. #Shetland #rarebirds #springbirds #redflankedbluetail

@TheJollyBirder remember to check them all Neil

The peninsula strikes AGAIN! Amazing to be with the group seawatching when the shout of “SWIFT” went up. 2 BB Rares in 2 days!

11th March 2025: a typical Bittern fly-past from the Bittern Hide @RSPBMinsmere this morning, shown here at half normal speed... blink and you will probably miss it!

Two female Goshawks competing for territory.

@Juliest101 Twit and Twat...perfection

I'm the absolute opposite of an optimist but I'm starting to believe, not simply hope, that Twit and Twat will be struck down by a great vengeance and a furious anger. (and a lot sooner than we anticipated).

@01000011S nice one cliff

Boxing Day bonanza! Absolutely overjoyed and worth getting up at 2am for! Now home to celebrate 🍾

Nature can be brutal at times. Watched this female Merlin hunt Common Snipe before catching & proceeding to drown it's prey. Circle of Life.
