Been a few years since I saw one of these in Hants. Shame it was the wrong side of Titchfield Haven boundary, Horse fields to the West of the boundary, luckily mine was inside the boundary many years ago. still very nice to see. Photo Ryan Palmer. #ukbirding #Hantsbirds

At least it had the courtesy of staying after dipping on Monday. Black-throated Thrush. Hants tick and 2nd for me in UK. Thanks goes to the birders that arranged for viewing from a local person's garden over the week. No more access.

I've been working in Scotland the last few days. British tick finally today of Crested Tit but dipped Ww Scoter all in between work. Little Auk Aberlady Bay and another in Lunan Bay, which were nice to see. Snow was interesting and tested the old driving skills of snow driving. #ukbirding

On the Ak Wildlife Explorer 7hr trip yesterday out of Falmouth, Cornwall. Bit lumpy off of the Lizard.
Cory's Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater, 20+ Euro Storm Petrel, 1000+ Manx Shearwater unfortunately not Wilsons Petrel nor Great Shearwater.
Weather was the issue.
