It's getting closer to having to pack this in the case again! Bangkok & Krabi this time.

A final walk at Rimac, Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR, this morning before a week on Lesvos! Nothing too unusual seen, and a bit of a mishmash of seasons, but another lovely morning and some nice birds seen RareBirdAlertUK

Sorting photos from guiding over the weekend - Nightingale singing, over the border in Suffolk on Saturday. It was rather cool and cloudy but still one of at least 7 birds seen.

An unexpected but welcome, brief encounter with a daylight Barn Owl.

Last UK bird pic for a while was this busy female Blackbird who is caring for at least 2 young birds around our garden as tomoz it's a wedding assignment for friends then Sunday it's back to the footy with Brant Rangers FC lads then off to sunnier climbs, that being Thailand! 🙂

Amazing to see this Black Crowned Night Heron late yesterday afternoon on the rocks along the East Cliffs of Portland.

Willow Warbler with a caterpillar. A lovely evening last night at Druridge Bay.
