Turns out it is from NE Poland, border with Lithuania. I've seen a couple of reports from Belarus, so fits the pattern. #UKBirding

05.11.2025 11:23 β π 28 π 2 π¬ 1 π 0The rufous flanks were starting to break through, and in good light there was a blue sheen around the eye, confirming it as a young male as I had originally thought.
The distinct head pattern was just breaking through also, still a long way to go before it is a stunning adult male. I can only hope it remains for the winter and into next spring.
On the water, and in poor light, it looked very dark, impossible to make out any colour. The white crescent at the base of the bill was the only indication that is was a young male.
One of the Harlequins Ducks I found a few weeks ago has settled down on a quiet little beach in North West Donegal and I was really fortunate to spend a bit of time with it recently. Fingers crossed now that it stays for the winter, what a glorious sight it will be in a few months.

A remarkable Eastern Nightingale at Rattray Head yesterday. It's behaviour was most un-nightingale-like, sitting in the open and pumping its tail. A real crowd-pleaser!

After a dawn raid on the Point, this little beauty was cowering in the buckthorn on my birding walk back, not far south of the Breach at Spurn. Thomas Willoughbyβs brilliant pic. Bird of a lifetime. A British tick as well π
