On my honeymoon in Tunisia, loads of Flamingos flying inland over our hotel in Sousse. #lookup

Just had a Quail singing/calling over my Washington garden, presumably flying. A first for me.

Long time on X, Twitter or whatever it's called these days, just had a Ring-necked Parakeet over my Washington garden. A bird rarely seen around these neck of woods.

A good influx of migrating thrushes tonight over the house, Redwing and Fieldfare calling.

@onemantess Very nice mate...👍

Awful weather didn't spoil todays trip to Hartlepool Headland, YBW's everywhere, RBF x 2, sneaky pair of Siskin & a stunning Cory's on arrival! Just enough time to get out of the toilet & grab the bins for great view after hearing the shout! camera wasn't ready tho😊

@pablohugelist Sorry to hear Paul, take care.

Wor kid passed this morning not sure how many on here knew him. He was my best mate and a Sand dancer

Young hedgehog out about on this balmy evening.

Just a single Whimbrel flying high over my Washington garden.

@HairyBikers So sad news Si, he'll be a massive miss. Much love to his family and friends.

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own. Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya. I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them. May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon. Love Si x

Oystercatchers heading inland over my Washington garden, spring is so close.

Around a dozen Waxwings around my Washington garden just now, headed towards Chipchase, Oxclose. @pablohugelist

Waxwings hanging around my Washington garden. Either the same small flock or new birds, just hear them. Maybe roosting? Quite a few Redwing over too but higher.
