Broad-billed Sandpiper is always so pretty, especially so in this near-breeding plumage. Digiscoped this morning in Maayan Zvi through Swarovski Optik ATX85 חרמשית

With 430+ species recorded on a recent tour of north-east India, there are plenty of contenders for bird of the trip. But given its spectacular looks and the incredible views we enjoyed, this male Temminck's Tragopan wins hands down! #IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2025 #India

She's back! The moment Blue 35 landed and chased off the interloper. Welcome back lass, we've been waiting for you. #FoulshawOspreys

Incredible session at an Andean Cock-of-the-Rock lek by Manu Road this afternoon. Have been to leks before where it’s semi-dark and the birds won’t perch in the open but this was different gravy! Lekking on branches at eye level just a few metres away 🤯

Messingham SQ needs a new #WeBS volunteer. The best inland site in NW Lincs and the only pic I have of it. Female RN Duck in Feb this year. A great place to visit every month. Been doing WeBS for 13 years and it’s some of my most enjoyable birding. Pm me if interested.

#Sumatra has two endemic whistling thrushes, both of which showed well as they foraged for tit-bits amongst the copious litter left by the plentiful mountain hikers! Shiny Whistling Thrush, and the smart Brown-winged Whistling Thrush. #BirdsSeenIn2024 @Birdquest @CanonUKandIE

The juvenile WHITE-BILLED DIVER returned to Southend Pier again over the high tide period this afternoon before drifting further and further out before it was lost to view. Brilliant image taken by local birder Tim Davis

Bornean Scorpionmoth. Gutted that I spent a week at Mt Kinabalu 11 years before I ‘discovered’ moths…
Mind blown today. Stumbled across this Pom-Pom Prominent today at Mt Kinabalu (on the way to rescue an Atlas moth!) and was gob-smacked by this remarkable deimatic behaviour as I bent down to pick it up. Never seen any threat display like it from a moth #MothsMatter

Have managed to see some species on my most-wanted list in Amazonia such as Nocturnal Currasow, Grey-winged Trumpeter and Fulvous Antshrike but my highlight with the camera so far has been a bird I’ve seen a few times before but not photographed - you’ve got to love a Sunbittern!
