Usually, when I'm guiding in London, it involves showing a client fairly common birds. Which is fine, but it was great to jam into three Crossbills at Richmond Park this morning at the entrance to the Isabella Plantation. 1 m, 1 f and 1 juv, but only the juv showed well ...

Another amazing capture today was this Cormorant bringing up a Red Gurnard fish at the outflow of Crossness Nature Reserve today. Shows how clean the Thames is. RSPB RSPB England BBC Springwatch #londonbirds

Very happy that the song sparrow reappeared today, was very tricky whilst I was there most of the time but eventually showed well so can’t complain. Life ✅ 375 and Yorkshire ✅ 304 nice to see Georgie W-S too

Today’s female Honey Buzzard, flew in off the sea over the eastern docks, Dover harbour @ 10.15, puts me on 8 arrivals here so far this year. The result of Prolonged favourable conditions and a lot of hours looking!

In case anyone was wondering how my #seyearlist2025 is doing, it's been a quiet couple of months. However, with the addition of Turtle Dove at the amusingly named Fingringhoe Wick this morning, and Crossbills at Richmond Park recently, I'm now on 188 ...

Managed to see the Western sandpiper at Maidens this morning - I'd been in Ayrshire twice since November and not been to see it, while it had been misidentified as an overwintering little stint - now a must see and I think the 13th UK record BirdGuides BTO Ayrshire Birds.

Fabulous views of Shetland's first-ever Greater Sand Plover at Haroldswick, Unst early this morning. Just over 20 UK records of this species which breeds from Turkey east to Mongolia. I last saw one in the UK back in 1988 at Dawlish, Devon! 😮

An enjoyable start to the day with Arfon Williams opening the moth traps nr. Lampeter, Ceredigion. Slender Brindle was new for me amongst 100s of moths. This afternoon at Cors Caron NNR with Neil Donaghy saw families of Willow Tit, Spotted Fly + Whinchats. Hobby and 3 Otters too👍

Great to do some birding with David Callahan too. Good to see that Willow Tit has still got a stronghold in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 one of the youngsters on show here …

A good day with David Callahan with Crossbills, singing Redstart and Goshawk. Then a short but cracking Med Gulls session with Arfon Williams with 500 Med Gulls inc. 58 juvs + 6 colour rings read (2 Red, 2 Green and 2 White). Common Sand, Blackwit, Whimbrel too 👍 #Ceredigion

This video of the Porthgwarra Soft-plumaged Petrel by Michael McKee is absolutely immense!! Mind-blowing stuff. The commentary is brilliant too. Maybe in the next few weeks off Loop 🤞🏻michaelmckee.co.uk/videos/video.a…

An incoming Red-Necked Phalarope, showing why the name phalarope (meaning coot-foot) is a great one for them.
