@lizardschwartz @PhilWoollen @FI_Obs he doesn’t care
Alex Penn retweeted
I originally decided to make one of my little seabirds because I wanted one for myself, but I quickly fell in love with making them. Because each one is hand sculpted and painted, every piece is unique in its own little way, yet together they make lovely flocks.
Alex Penn retweeted
Assuming a journey at sea, a Storm Petrel ringed at Portland Bird Observatory at 02:00 yesterday, and with us at 02:45 this morning, had put in a pretty swift 450km
Alex Penn retweeted
Not often we have our air tests interrupted by the shout of “Orca!!” -but things happen differently on the Fair Isle! Everyone runs to the headland to look! Superb accommodation from @FI_Obs and a place that’s been on my list to visit for a while. Highly recommend a visit for you
A ghost amongst the Oystercatcher flock @FI_Obs
@PhilWoollen @FI_Obs Wouldn’t say no Phil!
A dream realised!! SCOPS OWL trapped in the Gully @FI_Obs today 🤯
@01000011S @FI_Obs Absolutely that! Quickly followed by panic as it did a bunk over a cliff edge and took me another hour to relocate it 😆
Not many words to adequately sum up today! A spring male Pallas’s Reed Bunting was the perfect reminder of what a magic place Fair Isle is, and of the brilliant people I get to share these birds with. 5th for Britain 3rd(!) for @FI_Obs
@ELBF2010 @OrioleBirding @barrabirder @FI_Obs Fantastic - looks like it must be the same bird! Cool movement
This absolute peach of a Red-throated Pipit livened up an otherwise very quiet walk around the north @FI_Obs today - they don't come much better than this!
Alex Penn retweeted
It is now six years since a fire totally destroyed the Observatory and we are delighted to announce that the Observatory and Hotel is now open for guest bookings for 2025! Please read our website for prices and terms: fairislebirdobs.co.uk/accommodation.… We look forward to welcoming you soon!
Bee-eater!! One of my most-wanted birds @FI_Obs after missing a couple in the last few years. Impossibly beautiful things!
Fair Isle got in on the Subalpine Warbler action when this fine male Eastern appeared @FI_Obs today - what a stunner!
Alex Penn retweeted
My first full day @FI_Obs. The massive cliffs and big seas made for an awe-inspiring walk around the south end. A few nice birds around too, with four Snow Buntings and lingering adult Iceland Gull the highlights. Looking forward to the rest of the season here!
Twite are returning to @FI_Obs with some signs of early spring movement in recent days. This bird was 'chortling' away happily in the sunshine today 🔊🎶
