A stream of White-winged Black Tern flew over our heads a few hours after arriving in Lesvos. This was the moment when I realised I was birding on a magical island

Another bird I’ve wanted to see since I first looked through a bird book as a kid, didn’t let me down! Desert Wheatear at Cley Marshes yesterday was beyond good.

After seeing the Nutcracker on a wheelbarrow, in a skip, and drinking out of a gutter, it was great to see the bird spend some time feeding this evening with @miles_cluff

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

Quick visit to Freiston Shore earlier this week did not disappoint as the Wryneck was extremely confiding, clearly this individual didn't get the memo...

Had a lovely few hours with the long-staying Long-tailed Shrike in Gloucestershire last week, it put on one hell of a show @BirdGuides

Buff-breasted Sandpiper on Dale Airfield this evening. Quite flighty if the cows did not keep their distance. It was my second attempt as I did not want to dip this species on two different airfields

More larking about is on the way! We've already got another 3 episodes in the bag, and a further 3 will be filmed in the autumn. As per the picture Sam does a lot of pointing and I do a lot of soaking it in.

Feels incredibly special to see a Hudsonian Godwit where I grew up and began this birding life

Really enjoyed my first spring in Norfolk, particularly getting to know local spots for migrants, such as this Wheatear. My spring expectations were reserved, but highlights within 5km included Ross’s Gull, Great Reed Warbler, Great Grey Shrike, Hoopoe, BW Stilt and Wood Warbler

When I started birding, I always remembered the tale of “Hoopoe only turn up in the Vicar’s garden”. So I followed up on the vague Hoopoe report at Sedgeford by starting at the church. Happy it paid off!
