WOW!!! 😊 After 5hrs at 9300ft in the Andes 🏔 lungs bursting, heart pounding & spine truly tested it wasn't looking great. One last go at a likely looking spot when the shout came from good pals Brian & Kim. BLOODY HELL! 2xad Diademed Sandpiper Plover. DELIGHTED👊 🇨🇱

Chuffed to have been in right place at right time when my first ever EYE BROWED THRUSH dropped in front of us . Congrats to finders ..

Wow!!! White Stork just flown over my house and off inland... #gardentick #Wirral

The black scoter at Hoylake showed better than expected this morning @seanoh58.bsky.social @wirralbirder.bsky.social #UKBirding

A wild goose chase around #Wirral proved fruitful. 2 long staying Russian White fronts & a Gypo goose. Plus 2 early Little Gulls off the Wirral coast yesterday. #springaroundthecorner

Leaving the big Woodpecker behind, we've crossed the Drake and now into some stunning Antarctic scenery 🌊❄️🐧

A wee roundup of the first of three trips to #Antarctica from Buenos Aires this season.. . A few standout birds and some stunning scenery. #Scott #Shackleton 🐧⚓🔱🌊🚢

A little round up of my 2024 Isle of Scilly 2024 Autumn. A great 3 weeks, great company and great birds. Considered a 'quiet' autumn but would take me a lifetime to see these on my native #Wirral #ukbirding. ❤️Scilly 🏝️

Very nice too Sue... 💪

Sorry mate, only just seen this. Still getting used to the new platform.. No.. I actually headed south. To Scilly..

Boom 💥💥💥😉 Two Yellow browed Warbler in our Hoylake #Wirral garden this morning. Chuffed. #ukbirding

The final sunset from last week's super fine #Wirral weather. Back to typical autumnal weather this week..

Keep an eye on the forecast Ian.. For a decent seawatch, ideally should be F6/7 or above NW for around 12hrs prior to your seawatch. Good luck 👍

Tonight's #Wirral sunset!!

Thankyou

Going, going, gone!! Tonights sofa sunset, #Wirral #ukbirding

A week of fine sunsets ahead. Here's the first of what looks like a week of sunset photographs during thd fine weather ahead. Each one different every time. #mindfulness #sunset #nofilter

Cheers Wylie 🙏

Cheers Tom.. Hope you're well mate?!

Thanks mate. Hope you're well G 💪

Leach's Petrels arrived in small numbers to #Wirral today including this one just beyond the end of our garden. Hopefully more tomorrow.
