Fabulous views of the long-staying Chestnut Bunting at Buness, Unst, Shetland this morning - a classic Shetland 'twitch' with just five of us enjoying what is currently only the second-ever accepted record for Britain.

Working some sites on Deerness this am, when pandemonium struck at ‘lighthouse quarry’. One of my @OrioleBirding group, Fiona Wright, whispers to me “I’ve got an owl, I think it’s a LEO”….
I have never been so shocked lifting my bins in all my life! F*@k me it’s a Scop’s!!

Last images from me of the Long-tailed Shrike taken last week bar the last image taken a few weeks prior. Last images from me too until my camera comes back from repair. Thankfully under warranty this time.

I had a day with a friend who does workshops with Harvest Mice. These are some of many photographic opportunities we had with these amazing little creatures full of energy. We were lucky with the weather, as it is done outside in an controlled environment and natural surroundings

Wow. Watching this EGYPTIAN NIGHTJAR sat outside Roger Riddington’s house at Virkie, Shetland. What a bird.

Wilstone Reservoir, Tring
This adult Hobby brought a dragonfly meal down to this juvenile rather than encourage it into the air for hunting practise, you can just about see it if you zoom in, probably a male Migrant Hawker there's enough of them about.

A trio of Bhutan Glory (Bhutanitis lidderdalii) photographed by our Bhutanese guide in eastern Bhutan yesterday.
Freshly emerged, they're busily imbibing minerals, to prepare for life.
