A pleasant walk at Clifford Hill GP this morning, the BN Grebe was still present, 3 Curlew flew over, 2 Grey Partridge, 2 Egyptian Geese & a Barnacle Goose. #northantsbirds

A great 1 night visit to Bach Ma, Vietnam with local guide, Luc Nyugen. Some good birds seen and lucky to get a view of these Yellow-cheeked Gibbons. (Best with sound on :) #vietnam #bach ma #Gibbons

A nice day out at Minsmere today, a good selection of birds and insects, this lovely male Red-backed Shrike was the highlight for me . @RSPBMinsmere

@AdrianBorley A bit surprised you haven’t caught up with one before in Northants or Norfolk. Just a matter of right time and place.

Despite having seen several Pacific Golden Plover, I've never managed to see an American, so the bird currently in Cambs is quite tempting; however, as it's neither a nice summer adult, nor a classic juvenile, it's particularly uninspiring (though educational!)...

@stanwicktramp Only birders go on holiday and hope for some rain 😀

Overnight rain produced a big fall of migrants in the Kaliakra area, mainly wrynecks and thrush nightingales but also flycatchers, shrikes, nightjar, quail and countless whinchat #Bulgariabirds at its best

@ClevedonMoths @jayshrike Chinese leaf-warbler?

Despite dipping a couple of species so far, the attached was my 23rd Phylloscopus Warbler species on my Thai List. Definitely not possible without the incomparable knowledge & expertise of @jayshrike! Anyone hazard an identification? 😀 I'll update tomorrow.

Pak Thale, Thailand, one of the world's best wader spots. Amazing for the sheer numbers and variety. After a bit of searching we found the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, with Great Knot, Red-necked Stints & Broad-billed Sandpiper. #waders #thailand #birding

@leslief80109983 Thanks, if it is a Sand Martin it would be a really interesting January record.

@mark02962403 yes it was taken yesterday,at hanging houghton,i think its a sand martin to

hanging houghton ?

@Red_eyed_Video Happy Christmas!

Back from a great weekend in Yorkshire. The Pallid Swift showed well at times 😀@FlamboroughBird. Also Red-headed Bunting, Two-barred, Dusky, Pallas's, Yellow-browed Warblers. Plenty of common migrants about, like this tired Goldcrest.

@loosemum @Britnatureguide @Natures_Voice Hi Sharon, lovely photos. 👍 The gull pictured is a young Black-headed. Gulls are quite a challenge! The white leading edge to the upper wing is a good id point for BHG. 😀

Ruddy Shelduck, Redshank and a poor shot of what I think is a Little gull ? Also lots of Terns including juveniles. Hollowell reservoir 24/7/23 #Northantsbirds @Britnatureguide @Natures_Voice

Well done to @Northampton_TC. Some patches of grass have been left un-mown and I spotted this pyramidal orchid growing in one small patch on the junction of Fullingdale/Dryland roads. #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune

Summer Leys car park area a presumed hybrid Chifffchaff/willow warbler singing away. # Northantsbirds

With the warm weather I put the moth trap on for the 1st time this year (9/6/23) and caught a new one for our Northampton garden. A Toadflax Brocade. First recorded in Northants about 10 yrs ago but appears to be spreading. #mothsmatter

@TaiwanBirding 😃

@mark02962403 10/10

We *were* to go to Lanyu (蘭嶼) tomorrow.

@TaiwanBirding Is it a Goat 🐐 on a rock in the distance?

Can you spot the non-native mammal?
