Very informative thanks

Mini Helsinki from Rackham this morning. 3 dancing cranes , 3 Great Egrets , WT Eagle and WF Geese. Brilliant.

Lovely weekend in Norfolk for the first time in 3 years. Some great winter birding

delighted to spend the new year with plentiful Black redstart. 🇪🇸

Few days in #murcia 🇪🇸. Surprised to see a Short Toed Eagle overwintering in the area.

Was there a lesser flamingo there recently. I’ll be passing over the holidays 👀🦩

Squint hard : Streak-throated swallow at Sharm WTW, Sinai , Egypt last weekend. A WP mega with less than 10 records.

Plenty moving in Finland 2 weeks ago. @helsinkibirder.bsky.social

Helsinki for a couple of days this week. My first “frosty” long tails 😍

Turtle dove sheltering from the wind earlier today in west Cornwall

My 4000th list on EBird was a a dusk dash for WRSand. Rounding off a wonderful day in Cornwall

Staines Res quick visit. Dunlin / Yellow wag / 4 Ringed Plover

Yesterday stroll around NNR Thursley. Crossbills , Darter and a shedding lizard in the sun

Flying visit to Staines Res this evening from LHR. Grey Phal still on the South Basin and a bonus Curlew Sand showed well

Brief visit to 🇪🇸 patch has produced some nice surprises this week

Spent some time yesterday studying the local kestrels. Some are easier to assign that others

Migration in full swing with raptor flocks and accompanying bee-eater all ⬇️. 🇪🇸 crossbills I assume more sedentary

Sierra Espuña. Murcia 🇪🇸

OTD 2 Years ago. Papuan Pitta. West Papua ID.

OTD last year. Jasper National Park CA

2 orchids at Loch Neagh yesterday

A weekend in Talinn provided plenty of showy icterine warblers in the park

Made several visits there last week when in Helsinki. Birding by metro is a joy

Plenty of songsters during a business trip to Helsinki / Estonia

2 sanderling showed well on the causeway as I passed Staines this afternoon

Wow amazing. I’ll be in Helsinki in 2 weeks 🤞

First and last within the 5k today. Although the local heath usually sees a passage of Brambling in April.

I’ll be heading to Finland again later this summer. Always look forward to fat lizard

I only get a red dot for Western House Martin - I reported loads last year but it’s still unreported everywhere 🤷
