Very honoured to have been selected as the winner for NBN Trust Young Person's award. I've put a lot of work into surveying the wildlife around my local area so for it to be recognised is a great pleasure! Congrats to all involved.

Mad rush to the Yellow American Warbler. Unfortunately I Left my camera at home. But my good friend Ben Rumsby allowed me to use on of his pictures. Buzzing very nice early Christmas present. RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

Not the early Christmas present I was expecting when news broke of this American Yellow Warbler early afternoon. Incredible bird, nearly always on view and calling frequently. Great to see familiar faces. Special thanks to Henry Wyn-Jones lending me camera battery for this pic.

Edited photo of the American Yellow Warbler today. My 2nd American wood warbler, both of which I've seen this year!! Thanks SuperSibe500. for editing. BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK
