Black-Winged Kite perching in its favoured dead trees

After missing the Black-Winged Kite two years ago I was happy to connect this time 🙂 was busy doing Run Norwich in the morning so I was pleased it stuck around all day. #NorfolkBirding

As always, RSPB Minsmere was quality for @sophgoesbirding.bsky.social and I yesterday where we were treated to not one, not two, but three (!) Roseate Tern, a couple of which displayed high over our heads and out to sea. Also 9 Spotshank and an adorable Green-eyed Flower Bee! #SuffolkBirding 😎

Female/red-head Smew standing on a bank with vegetation behind

Cracking find today by Drew @djlbirding.bsky.social at Buckenham Marshes - a red-head Smew! Very random but very cool to see on a sweltering June day

✨ bad ✨ mental health day today so I took myself out to go and have a gander at this American Wigeon at the latest location on his North Norfolk coast tour. He tried his best to fit in but stuck out like a sore thumb 🤕 #norfolkbirds

Photo of a spoon-billed sandpiper feeding

Thrilled to see one of these yesterday in Thailand. The critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper. I’m unfortunately not here for birding but managed to get out for one day! #birdingthailand #birding #birdsofthailand

Interesting only to me perhaps. I just thought it strange that I haven’t seen it for a year almost to the day and then suddenly it’s back. Where has it been? Where will it go? Who knows

Screenshot of my tweet from February 16th last year where I’d reported seeing a grey wagtail from my house

Photo taken through binoculars of the grey wagtail outside my house today (17/2/25)

Last night I was thinking about the grey wag I saw from my house last year and decided it was probably actually a pied wag that I’d wrongly ID’d since there’s no water near me, but lo and behold, (after checking the date)
a year and a day later it’s back!

A lovely day for a WeBS count at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen with @sophgoesbirding.bsky.social. A good variety of birds across the reserve including a couple of showy Treecreeper and a flyover Yellowhammer, which is a surprisingly good record for the site. #NorfolkBirding 😄

Hard work in the icy wind in Northwest Norfolk today, but @sophgoesbirding.bsky.social and I were eventually rewarded with lovely views of Shorelark at Hunstanton and the Black Brant at Thornham, where we also relocated the Glaucous Gull. #NorfolkBirding 😄

Shore Lark on shingle

Two Greater White-fronted Geese with a snoozing Greylag Goose

Dipped Glaucous Gull this afternoon at Old Hunstanton but the ridiculously confiding Shore Lark were a suitable compromise. Also both LWFG (not pictured) and GWFG at Snettisham. #norfolkbirds
