Also got one of the many Skylark seen while out and about today plus I was serenaded by a Song Thrush in a neighbours garden as I arrived home - 1st sighting of this bird around here for about 18 months, which was nice! @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Decent afternoon here in Lincolnshire with a break in the gloom and the rain leading to enjoying a few birds of prey. @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Couple of hours or so at Marston trying to see Water Rail - took 7 pics of 1 bird (3 sightings) heard more + Chiffchaff in reeds, saw a couple of Cettis Warblers fleetingly. Good chat with @djrlincsbirder.bsky.social & Steve. @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

A blast from the past .... On this day in 2012 on the hills above my town (Grantham) we had 5/6 Short Eared Owls delighting birders and dog walker alike! @djrlincsbirder.bsky.social @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social #Birds #UKBirds #LIncsbirding #Owl

I needed these today after reading about the grim Greenland Whitefront situation. Popped over to see an excellent flock of 40 Russian Whitefronts and left having seen 💥194💥! The highest #shropshirebirding count since the demise of the wintering flock in late 70s! #goosing ebird.org/checklist/S2...

Photographing Goshawks in Spain was no1 on my list. Having never seen one before in the wild, was an experience never to be forgotten. Their behaviour when eating prey was amazing to witness, especially when other raptors came close they would encompass the prey with their wings to protect it.

Hi Wouter, looks decent, not used in the field yet but I am sure it will be very useful.

The best bird I have seen so far is this wonderful Blue Pitta, taken in the Kaeng Krachan National Park in 2023. Still more to come from this time soon! #Birds #Thailand #Thaibirds

A weird first for my garden today in the 28 years I have lived here; a pair of Rock Dove dropped in to feed. Who else gets these in their gardens then? @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social #Birds #UKBirding
