Nice comparison between the Least Tern (bottom bird) and a Little Tern!

Good to be passing Musselburgh on Monday - just at the right time to see the American White-winged Scoter nice and close. (More pics as usual on my cleybirds.com.)

My biggest birding highlight ever! Minding my own business at Harborne Reserve in February 2025 a little bird landed in some trees in front of me. Not quite believing what I was seeing, I just took photo after photo. A beautiful Lesser Spotted Woodpecker! West Midland Bird Club

Cattle Egrets phonescoped Doxey Marshes Stafford.

Plenty of Shrike action from Holidaying in Corfu Sidari with x5 lesser's, 4 Woodchat and red backed shrike all from the hotel room 😃

A windy day in Corfu Sidari with Scopolis Shearwaters at dusk, plenty of red rump swallows and loads of Alpine swifts in Corfu town 😀

Some shots of the presumed returning drake Lesser Scaup, affectionately known as 'Lenny'. It was last seen at Belvide on the 10th January, when it was frozen out. Hopefully a prolonged stay again.

Lapwing flyby

Incredibly there are now 2 eclipse drake Lesser Scaup opposite Gazebo hide. Which one is Lenny?😂

A pair of Mallards mirroring each others mid-air pose.. 😁😍🦆

You've heard of 'The Two Ronnies'. Well we have the 'The Two Lennies' 😂 The top two photos are of the first bird to arrive on the 23rd. The bottom two are of the bird that arrived yesterday. Much closer and better light today.

3 Sanderling were new arrivals today with 2 along the dam and 1 on the north shore.

Three Red Kites at Bobbington today on the airfield including this one with a beautiful white head.

Enjoyable day at Belvide with 2 LESSER SCAUPS, 2 Gargenys 2 Sanderlings, 4 Dunlins, ringed plover, 3 Lrps, comm sand, GWE, Little egret, Staffs Bird News

Eyebrook Res, Leics - Caspian Tern found by Rod Baker this AM. 10th (I think) for L&R & first since 2020. My third in the county but first on the deck. What a cracker. Birds of Leicestershire & Rutland

Never seen anything like it. 2 bats. Piperstells? stuck to this Burdock plant. One sadly dead. The other was alive. I managed to peel it off and put in a bat box.

I thought the day was going well when I found my first Great White Egret of the year on the Inland Sea, early morning. But it would soon get a whole lot better when I found: Anglesey’s second Pacific Golden Plover (Wales’s third?) on the Alaw Estuary!
