Not quite the sadly dipped mega of the Rufous-tailed Robin but this male Northern Bullfinch was a big beauty in its own right at Flamborough south landing this afternoon. First one of this race I've seen. Strikingly large and pale, also sporting a ring. #Yorksbirds

NUTCRACKER is showing well at Mundesley, Norfolk! I was certainly thinking it wouldn’t actually happen!

Clamorous reed warbler, West Bank of the Nile, Aswan 🇪🇬 on Wednesday. Largely silent currently, but kind enough to come out of the reeds. With the excellent @Aswanbirding for a few hours to complete my Egypt list. 🌏 Life ✅ #1220 #birdsofegypt #birds

Good thing about the River Trent on my patch it produces daily fresh silt for footprints 🐾

It's not much, but it's a start! The first recorded turns of the Scottish ski season were had last night on the Cairngorms.

Took a bit of refinding but had the American Buff-bellied Pipit in Northants feeding totally unbothered just a couple of feet away for over an hour this evening!! Wish I’d taken a video of it when it was walking past my wellie! Bird flew to roost at about 17:25.

What a day at Flamborough! 19 White fronted Geese, 8 Woodcock, 2 Purple Sand, Great Grey Shrike (a long awaited self find tick), 5 Firecrest, 2 Ring Ouzel, Black Redstart….and then the small matter of the Rufous Tailed Robin 🤯 What will tomorrow bring?! Time for beer 🍻

A few more birds today on Holy Island but they had to be worked hard far in the blustery conditions. Woodcock and the first Yellow-browed Warbler for some time were notable. Hopes for a rare wheatear had me pounding the shore & eventually I found a Wheatear, close, but no cigar!
