I finally finished the 3rd & final episode in my Birding on The Canary Islands series. This 1's on Tenerife. I hope you enjoyed this 3 parter as much as I did collecting all the footage for you. Let me know what you think I hope I did the islands justice. youtu.be/-mtboVXdXGA

Booted Eagle yesterday in Cornwall. A few front on and back views. Showing the 'landing lights' either side of the head, a diagnostic feature of both morphs of Booted Eagles. Europe's smallest eagle.

02:30am start with @stevewilson1706.bsky.social!! Epic, yet tense day started with the Booted Eagle being everywhere we weren't and everyone else seeing it. Then just when we thought all was lost & talked about leaving, in it flew to giving dream views. UK ✅ @birdguides.bsky.social

Litter picking is not all doom and gloom. Kingfishers for company and a hell of a sunrise were my payment. Plus free work out happy days ... the amount of litter still sucks though.

Litter picking on the Hogsmill LNR all done. Nice early clean up had its disadvantages though, glasses fogged up and picker froze shut. 🤣🤣
