Birds, insects, fungi, wild flowers etc. Started getting into nature in 2021. Based in Milton Keynes.
Beautiful adult Caspian Gull at Logistica Flood. Presumably male considering it's size.

Being next to @hobhole.bsky.social when he found the Siberian Thrush was the best birding moment I've ever had. We dismissed the 1w Bluethroat in the same bush whilst trying to get our whole group on the bird. Only on Shetland! #Shetland #birding #siberianthrush

Tree Pipit at Steps Hill today. Was hoping for a flyover bird among the large Meadow Pipit movement. Love when a plan comes together and as a bonus, it was my first grounded one in Bucks!

Leach's Storm Petrel, my most wanted bird in the UK! Got to see a few today through the Wirral. Saw the wind forces last last week and took the day off work. An extremely friendly and helpful bunch of birders in that area!
