Lots of butterflies out at Incombe Hole this morning including Duke of Burgundy, Grizzled Skipper and Small Blue #ukbutterflies

Great views of the Western Subalpine Warbler at Gibraltar point. Another good find by Kev. my 364th bird in Lincolnshire. @lincsbirding.bsky.social #birding

Great to see the now long-staying Richard's Pipit at Newport Pagnell again this morning #bucksbirds

The drake Smew was my main target of a train trip to Northampton, but coming across a pair of Stonechats at Barnes Meadow was a nice surprise #northantsbirds #lowcarbonbirding

The best of my video clips of the cracking Purp from this morning. #UKbirding #Lincolnshirebirding

A pre-planned trip to @rspbotmoor.bsky.social this morning was well timed with a Green-winged Teal found there earlier from the first screen. #oxonbirding #ukbirding

Good to see yesterday’s Caspian Gull at the Floodplain Forest hung around till today for me to catch up with it #ukbirding #bucksbirds

My 2024 on eBird #eBirdRecounted2024 On the way to a 1,000 day checklist streak in 2025! #ukbirding #eBird

Delighted to find this drake Smew near Brigg this morning. Initially on a break between jobs and without optics, distant and flushed along with 11 Goosander by a small boat they flew towards Cadney Reservoir.

5 Snow Bunting reported at Cleethorpes yesterday midday. Also, an unconfirmed report of a Green-winged Teal at Whisby NR - if anyone is able to check this out and let us know, it would be appreciated. The Teal as a vertical white bar, rather than a horizontal one, see below. #lincsbirding

I couldn't resist popping back into Oxfordshire to catch up with the long-staying Black Redstart around Christ Church College this morning #oxonbirds #ukbirding

Kicked off #PWC2025 at my new patch around Willen Lakes, Bucks with 42 species, including Water Rail, Goldeneye, Green Woodpecker and Great White Egret #bucksbirds #ukbirding

Lots of birds on Willen Lakes this morning including 3 Goldeneye and at least 72 Pochard, plus a Great Egret and Ring-necked Parakeet nearby #bucksbirds #ukbirding #lowcarbonbirding

I spent the morning exploring new local areas having recently moved to Milton Keynes. Highlights from 40+ species around Furzton and Teardrop Lakes were Chiffchaff, GS and Green Woodpeckers, Grey Wagtail and Kingfisher #bucksbirds

Stonechats and Sanderlings were regular fixtures of the beaches and dunes around Druridge Bay, with the former probably the most numerous bird in the dunes around Hauxley #NEbirding #UKbirding

A brief vismig session at East Chevington was productive this morning, with highlights including Merlin, Mistle Thrush, GS Woodpecker, 39 Mipit, 12 Redpoll, 1 Siskin and 10 Chaffinch south. #NEbirding #vismig #UKbirding

Finally caught up with the Scaup at Amble yesterday morning where it showed pretty well, plus a Black-throated Diver on the sea from Warkworth Dunes was nice. #NEbirding

Whereabouts is best to look for the Scaup?

The most unusual bird of the day at Gibraltar Point was a Ring-necked Parakeet which flew around the plantation a number of times before a close shave with a Sparrowhawk. Other highlights included Cattle Egret, Hen Harrier (m), 5 Swallow, Merlin, 3 Blackcap and 2 Brambling #lincsbirding #ukbirding
