Couldn't resist a detour on our trip North to Skye to see the outstanding Steppe Grey Shrike at Dunbar, great start to our holiday! BirdGuides 🤩

The Isle of Skye is a beautiful place I've been fortunate to visit many times over the years. My favourite place has always been Ord and I'm very lucky to be spending the whole of this week enjoying this incredible view.

Guess who's back...

Bittern at Gibraltar Point Bird Observatory was typically elusive this afternoon, fortunately this smart Caspian Gull dropped in for a couple of hours. GWE, 2 Water Rail and 3 Ruff also of note

Great fight, surprising result thought Bivol did enough to win #BeterbievBivol

Delighted to catch up with the Red-necked Grebe at Freiston Shore this afternoon, a long overdue Lincs tick! Lincsbirding

Wait for the second attack!! Angry birds IRL. Ospreys rarely attempt to steal from each other but when they do it’s alway very interesting! The bird with the fish somehow sees the second Osprey coming without even looking back and manages to duck out of the way at the last

Wind and rain for today's Wetland Bird Survey Gibraltar Point Bird Observatory, 70000 Knot, 5930 Oyc, 1770 Grey Plover, 244 Ringed Plover, 4500 Barwit, 2840 Sanderling and 15510 Dunlin to roost but a flyover Red-rumped Swallow was the icing on a very large cake!

Unbelievable 🤯

Delighted to connect with the Siberian type Stonechat Gibraltar Point Bird Observatory this morning, super smart and very confiding. Excellent find by Sam Goddard 👏🏻

Touching tribute to Gianluca Vialli by Sampdoria. On the second anniversary of his sad passing.

👀🤣

At least 3 Orange Underwing at Kirkby Moor this afternoon #mothsmatter Lincs Wildlife Trust

Pre-work visit to Gibraltar Point yesterday (16/4/25) rewarded with superb views of two Common Cranes before they left roost and apparently moved on. Lincsbirding Patchwork Challenge

Great start to the day, now Barra-bound!😎

Early start on our return home from a brilliant time on Skye and the Outer Hebrides. Minor detour on the way for the cracking Buff-breasted Sandpiper at East Halton! Back to work tomorrow for a rest 😆
