To answer the question I got a couple times on if the red-footed falcon caught the dragonfly, safe to say it did! Elmley NNR

Wake me up when September comes One year on from the historical fall of American landbirds in Britain and Ireland, Graham Gordon gives his personal take on that extraordinary week: bit.ly/3znoUEC

Prints of this painting will be available soon (price tbc depending on interest) so please let me know if you’d like one!

Finally got in with the Yellow-browed Warbler action with 2 birds at Holyhead today! Plus Whinchat and 74 Redwing over 🧡🍂 @AngBirdNews 📸- DS

and a lifer for me too!! very chuffed!! 😁

Crazy looking leucistic Ring Ouzel at Holyhead today with Ken Croft. We also had a Yellow-browed Warbler.

. DS and I have just found a Red-eyed Vireo at Holyhead Breakwater country park!! love patching this place!!! 🇺🇸🤯

Still can't believe what happened at Holyhead Breakwater Country Park today. Lauren Evans's pishing worked fucking magic when this Red-eyed Vireo materialised in a Hawthorn in front of us!😁 A new species for both of us and Lauren's first American passerine!

What are the dynamics of #hybridisation between the Critically Endangered Balearic shearwater and the closely related Yelkouan shearwater? Check out our new preprint out on bioRxiv where we investigate the causes/consequences of pervasive gene flow between these species.

6 Yellow-browed Warblers at Holyhead today means I have had 40 sightings of this species there since 02/10.
