@Mark32729033 Cheers Mark. Will give this a try. Definitely need a Scops before I go home!

@shaneyoda82 Hi yes spoke yesterday. Long eared owls were opposite the school up past Vicki studios. Scops were in a cafe car park. Cafe not open head north through kaloni. There's a honey place on your left and go over the bigish cross road cafe is on the right 👍

Managed to box off the 4 main species of shrike on lesvos today, every time we stopped they were there 👌😂. And found another night heron that loved having its photo taken #birdwatching #lesvos

Collared Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher, and Red-backed Shrike all within the same garden on Lesvos 🇬🇷 #Lesvos #birds #Lesvos2026 #SkalaKallonis @LesvosBirdNews

Amazing views of Red-throated Pipits here on Lesvos 🇬🇷. #Lesvosbirding #birds #Lesvos @LesvosBirdNews #KalloniSaltPans

@neild1962 I’ve never seen anything like this Neil. It was like Hirundine Armageddon out there. We literally had to swerve round Swallows and House Martins on the drive into Skala Kallonis. Fortunately they seem more lively today. Too many cats for my liking though.

Just so everyone can see the extent of the effect the weather had on hirundines today… Not my photo but you get the gist!

@488IanB @RSPBFrampton Nice work Ian. Lovely shots of the Med Gulls. 👌

a.m. spent at @RSPBFrampton - couldnt locate the AGP, but Med Gulls and others (ruff, Avocet shown) were showing great in the very warm sun 😎😎

@488IanB Blumming autocorrect again….. that should read ‘this’ hobby not- you his!! 🤣🤣

@shaneyoda82 Cheers Shane, you are very correct

This a.m in the Peak District - a family of Dippers, Grey Wagtails, plenty Mandarin Ducks and a Redstart - light a bit poor but birds were great

@488IanB We all know how much time you his hobby eats without shots like this so it’s very well deserved to get a slice of luck. Right time, right place.

@shaneyoda82 Thanks Shane , I got lucky with the dippers 😎🍻

Thank you @BirdGuides for featuring my shot in one of the Notable Photographs this week 😉

💛🟡💛🟡💛Time for some #SundayYellow Here’s a Common Whitethroat showing off on the tops of a gorse bush #Derbyshire @EasternMoors @promderby2 @Derbyshirebirds @NatureUK #UKbirds #birds #NatureTherapy #SPRING2026

Did you catch Countryfile on Sunday? Our @NaturalEngland species ecologist Dr Carlos Bedson took presenter Charlotte Smith out onto Bleaklow moorland in the Peak District to survey England's only mountain hare population.🐇

@darkpeakbirder ObsIdentify and iRecord apps are good for trying to ID critters. I’ve just run it through both and they suggest a Stonefly sp (Brachyptera risi).

Always look where you are putting your feet - you never know that you might find 😀 Any id help gratefully received

Whinchat is quite a scarce migrant at Kenfig NNR in spring, but a lot commoner in autumn, so it was a joy to see a male this morning en route to the rivermouth. No pic, so here is a gorgeous male from Hajnowka Meadows in Poland where they are probably the commonest passerine.

@Photos2Print @promderby2 @SYorkshireBirds @peakdistrict Absolutely. I always look forward to their return. They are relatively confiding too, in a beautiful area filled with photogenic tree stumps and mosses.

@shaneyoda82 @promderby2 @SYorkshireBirds @peakdistrict Why not - they are stunning birds. Only a migrant here but still love seeing them👍🏽

Another great morning at my favourite Pied Flycatcher spot. 3 females have now joined the males who continue to chase away Blue Tits from their territories. Bonus Green Hairstreak butterflies too @promderby2 #DERBYSHIRE @SYorkshireBirds #PeakDistrict @peakdistrict #UKbirds #birds

@Photos2Print @promderby2 @SYorkshireBirds @peakdistrict Cheers Mark. I take waaayy to many pics of Pied Flycatchers 🤣

@shaneyoda82 @promderby2 @SYorkshireBirds @peakdistrict Great set of photos Shane👍🏽

@Brians_birds @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction It’s funny because I see them in this habitat, I’d actually like some shots of them on the beach. 🤣

@shaneyoda82 @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction Looks much better in that habitat than by the coast...

#WorldCurlewDay A stunning Curlew from the Derbyshire Peak District @peakdistrict #Curlewcalls @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 #Waders @CurlewAction #UKbirds #birds #DERBYSHIRE

@488IanB @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction Cheers Ian. Love hearing them at sunrise up on the moors.

@shaneyoda82 @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction Cracking shot Shane 👋

@jonnycaribouthe Awesome. They look stunning in sum plum! I’ve only seen them on autumn passage.

Wonderful to see the trip of Dotterel this evening with Matthew and Kieran.Such wonderful little waders.

@cranky1456 @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction Cheers matey. Appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on my piccies 😉

@shaneyoda82 @peakdistrict @waderquest @Derbyshirebirds @promderby2 @CurlewAction Great capture Shane
