Thank you very much. I'd seen the Owl a couple of times so it was just about being patient, and luckily it paid off.

Yeah fantastic place and some great local birding around the resort. Back to cold Manchester in the morning. 😄

Last day in Mexico.
A stunning Ferruginous Pygmy Owl, a Summer Tanager and a Rufous Browed Peppershrike. #MexicoBirds

Another belting morning in sunny Mexico; three new species Collared Aracari, Great Crested Flycatcher and Olive Throated Parakeet, plus another cracking White Eyed Vireo.

Back to the birds. New lifer Ovenbird. Then some nice shots of Californian Brown Pelican, Turkey Vulture, and Cinnamon Hummingbird.

Don't do political stuff and this isn't really. These are pictures of a small stretch of coastline in Yucatan, Mexico. It's unremarkable in its significance and I doubt more than a thousand people have ever walked down it. We must do more. #Litter #Mexico

But as you can see it is also beautiful.

Absolutely hammered it down with rain all afternoon, finally stopped and made our way from the bar back to the room. A Great Black Hawk sat in the trees. Fantastic new lifer and completely unexpected.

New lifer; the Gray Catbird, also very happy to have caught the Belted Kingfisher in flight. Difficult to pickup due to the speed of flight.

Another cracking morning birding in Meixco. Buff Bellied Hummingbird, Summer Tanager and a Yellow Rumped Warbler all lifers.

Cracking morning birding in Mexico. Two new species and one new for this trip. A few more today.
Grey Headed Chachalaca (new)
Cinnamon Hummingbird (new)
Yellow Throated Warbler.

A few new species in Mexico today. White Eyed and Yucatan Vireo. Baird's Sandpiper and what looks like a Black Cowled Oriole.

Some more decent birding in Mexico.

Mexico Day 1.
Nothing unusual. But some decent morning birding. #Mexicoabirds

Cracking Cetti Warbler at Elton Reservoir this morning. #patchbirding #ukbirds #Ukbirding

Trialling new camera today. Very happy with the results, old camera was very poor at picking up birds in flight.

Probably the only time he's actually told the truth.

Is it really Piers?
I personally think very little has actually changed except lots of right winged media types just moaning as they aren't in power anymore. Very little changes between governments as civil servants basically run the country.

Define Irony.
Idiot right wingers listening to a bloke from South Africa currently living in America talking about immigration.

Cheers Keith

Where was the Pied Flycatcher Keith? Up that way in the morning.

Sssssh....you are ruining our best argument against them. 😀

Wonderful night!! @Oasis

First day in Crete, a spot of birding whilst climbing through Roza's Gorge. Plenty of Griffon Vultures, Ravens and Eleanora's Flacons, with Blue Rock Thrush and Crag Martins also around. #CreteBirding

Mediterranean Gull on the fields around Elton Reservoir this morning #ukbirds #patchbirding

Cracking visit to Padley Gorge. Several Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher, Redstart, Tree Pipit, lots of Treecreepers, Finches and Tits. A couple of Cuckoo's heard but not seen. Wood Warbler also briefly seen but no pics.

At least 20 or so Swifts circling above Elton this morning, a really showy Lesser Whitethroat and a signing Sedge Warbler this mornings highlights. #Ukbirds #PatchBirding

Thank Daryll, yes that would be great

Nice morning walk around Elton #UkBirds #Patchbirds

Morning walk up Holcombe this morning, Ring Ouzel, Wheatear, Green Woodpecker and Curlew. All in all a decent, albeit very breezy, morning.

Cracking morning at Elton Reservoir. Stunning Black Tern on the main reservoir, 4 LR Plover on the Withins. #Ukbirds #Patchbirds
