Fantastic week away with Dimiter from Neophron in Bulgaria, around Varna and Burgas. Watching 1.5k Pelican shuffling along and taking off was spectacular. Watching WTE fishing amongst the Cormorant, Pallas's Gull, and Black Woodpecker were all highlights

He has 14 years of mess to resolve. He's correcting lots of it, but it takes time and it's not easy

Well done to John Turner, with the 700th Swift box he has made for us - Save our Suffolk Swifts. It has been delivered to Northgate Secondary School as part of a Swift Community Set of 8 boxes and a call system. @sosswifts.bsky.social #SuffolkBirds

Well done, Ray. After waiting over an hour there was a quick flight and some singing at 13:00. Got the singing, but not the flight. Then it rained, so back to the car. I may go back if it stays.

We saw it yesterday and I agree it's great to see so many familiar faces. Just one miserable bloke that I recognised but couldn't put a name to. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

After we saw you, we gave up and went to Hollesley for coffee. Then, it was declared at Gedgrave, so we went back and had spectacular flight views right over our heads. I was so pleased we went back. I've never seen one in the UK before.

14 of us had a good walk today at Felixstowe Kingsfleet, ably led by Mark P. 10 species of butterfly and 7 different dragonflies. Barwit, Golden Plover, and Little Owl, the best of the birds. We finished off with a beer at the Ferry Boat Inn when the it rained. #WaveneyBirdClub #suffolkbirds

I think the other one might be the underside of a Jersey Tiger, according to Obsidentify

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview at the Laxfield Litfest, and I look forward to reading The Ends....
