Hearing this male Snow Leopard's call echo around the Mongolian mountains was a real privilege and quite simply spectacular!

@WiseBirding In the 130s. Counted twice and got different counts whilst being encouraged to hurry up by the people I was with! A couple of nests still being built so I'll come back in a week or two.

Not much sign of Spring migration around the Otter Estuary, but there were more Rook nests than last year so all is well.

Chuffed to find a Bonaparte’s Gull on the patch last thing this evening. I’ve been looking hard the last few weeks, so finally paid off. 😊 #OtterEstuaryNR

@WiseBirding We were looking for it this afternoon, what time did it fly out to sea? Great bird!

Bonaparte’s Gull again on the Otter Estuary NR again, this evening but literally for seconds only, on its flight path to roost on the sea.

Certainly earned our stripes with this beauty @bfossey1 @DungenessBO - this female Bengal Tiger eventually gave herself up on our third trip into Corbett NP on Saturday, wandering out of the forest and on to the track in front of our jeeps - definitely a bucket-list moment!

@JLowenWildlife That’s a great autumn haul James and of course the most important and exciting are the birds you find yourself. 🤜🏼👍🏻

NEW BLOG. Autumn 2025... It's been a while since I last blogged, largely because of IT issues. But it's time to catch up. Here's something about last autumn - well, some of it, including finding some rare birds. jameslowen.com/blog-28-feb-20…

Some images from this weekend of the rather fantastic first-winter Bonaparte's Gull at Little Porth, St Mary's. It has been remarkably faithful to a tiny stretch of shoreline and is giving the most outrageous views.

A belated post - a brilliant trip to Oman November 2025 thanks to @WiseBirding and Dave Astins. Many great moments but some highlights included the group finding Oman’s first Paddyfield Pipit, amazing spectacles of waders and raptors, some stunning landscapes and quality mammals
