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

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

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
