Black-streaked Puffbird, Refugio Los Volcanes, Bolivia. 🇧🇴

The location of Refugio Los Volcanes has to be one of the most spectacular birding hotspots in Bolivia. A truly magical location to stay with so many fantastic birds within walking distance of your rooms.

A clear highlight of a short birding tour around Bolivia’s Santa Cruz department, the critically endangered & endemic Red-fronted Macaw. A must visit lodge & great community conservation project. Join E-Newsletter for news on Bolivia tour in preparation: tinyurl.com/8cxvk9ws

I always love getting straight back on the patch after a long overseas trip. This pristine Juv Whinchat was a welcome sight this evening and a reminder of the potential excitement of another autumn ahead.🤞🏻

A nice surprise on the patch tonight to mark the start of autumn. My 32nd Glossy Ibis on the Otter Estuary NR 😂

Like buses!😂Now 38 for the patch. Six birds just dropped in this evening on the Otter Estuary NR, East Devon.

Devon record smashed!! 😮👇🏻

I just love sifting through wader flocks and for me not much beats a pristine juvenile Curlew Sandpiper.😍Two of 3 birds on tonight’s rising tide on the Otter Estuary NR, Budleigh Salterton.

Good to see Wise Birding’s 3rd tour to West Papua has started well 😊

Certainly wasn’t expecting this on the high tide on the patch this evening! Lovely juvenile Baird’s Sand. 😮 Great find by Steve Windle. Pretty sure it’s a first for the Otter Estuary.👍🏻 Still present at dusk on Little Marsh.

Beautiful sunny and clear day in the SW today. A lovely evening on the patch with M Harrier, Osprey, 3 Curlew Sand, 1 Little Stint and then 9 Glossy Ibis dropped in at dusk. Possibly start of a new wave of birds? Now at least 18 this year for the Otter Estuary.

It’s that time again. Looking forward to seeing old friends and a few birds too! 🤞🏻

Nice to find this Rustic Bunting with the Mrs this evening on St Martin’s, Isles of Scilly. A subtle bird, in some ways, compared to obvious autumn males. Looks to be same bird found on St Agnes yesterday when comparing feather details.

Absolutely loved a few hours on St Agnes today, seeing lots of old friends I haven’t seen for a long time, and seeing a great bird. Normal service resumes on St Martin’s now. 😅Huge thanks in particular to the landowner and Agnes birders organising access. 😜 #MourningDove

Wow!

Ridiculous!🤯

Red-breasted Flycatcher, St Martin’s, Isles of Scilly

A big influx of Jack Snipe today across Scilly. I saw 3 different birds on St Martin’s including 2 different birds feeding on beautiful beaches and rock pools! Such fabulous little birds. #scillybirds

Who doesn’t love a lark…? Particularly an endemic lark!🤣 Dune Lark, in the mighty dunes of Namibia. Great to be back in this fantastic country again.
