Today, I walked into a new hospital with hair fresh out of a protective style—AFRO sitting high and wide on top of my head. I checked in with my name and stated my purpose for being there…and was sent to patient registration. “No I’m not having a surgery…I am the surgeon.”

A male ptarmigan from a summer trip to Iceland. Very obliging - he stood on the only prominent grass tussock. #ptarmigan #birdphotography #birds #nature #grouse #naturelovers #iceland

My annual visit to Gordon's Osprey set-up @AviemoreOspreys never fails. Here's my favourite from this year's visit late in June. I like the bird's tartan kilt. #Osprey #birds #raptors #wildlifephotography #birdphotography
If you are coming to the Global Bird Fair this weekend, I will be there in the Robin Marquee on Stand R19 with my friends at The Andalucian Bird Society with my new book (published in January by @whittles) An Eye for Birds. Please come over and have a chat.
From Iceland. The longest day and the sun will appear at midnight - it really is the land of the midnight sun. Terrific. #Iceland #Travel #WeatherForecast #midnightsun #

12K Followers 12K Following Amateur Photographer. World news. Published Author Trust No One.The 2nd winter Iceland Gull that we first saw on Barra in July dropped in at Allasdale this evening, presumably after a long day following a fishing boat somewhere offshore. Also 2 Ruff on the machair there and we heard the Pec Sand again, calling as it flew over us.
After yesterday's finds, we hit Vatersay's shores again and immediately found another Sea Heart. I'm in awe of the huge journey it made: falling from a vine in the tropics, washing into a river then out to sea, then drifting thousands of miles to reach the Outer Hebrides. Epic!
@benj_cardiff @theAliceRoberts @danielmgmoylan "is joining", not "intends to join" or "is planning to join". Present continuous tense means it's not just imminent, it's actually happening right now!
If you detest the Tories give this tweet a like!
Back from two glorious weeks guiding in the Territories & the Canadian Arctic. The Tundra really is a magical place, this Yellow-billed Loon sets the scene nicely @EagleEyeTours
Point blank views of this Otter from our lounge over breakfast. It munched its way through a two foot conger eel in the time it took me to get through a bowl of muesli!
And still they come! 3 more Portuguese Man O' War on a short section of Traigh Eais, Barra this evening along with lots of By-The-Wind Sailors and 4 Violet Sea Snails. There were scores of holidaymakers on the beach today; wonder how many noticed any of this?
Evidently the stranding of Violet Sea Snails is ongoing here on Barra. After finding a few over the weekend, we found 14 fresh in on a half-mile stretch of beach this afternoon. This should give hope to beachcombers to our north!
Female Black-headed Bunting on Unst today. More on the blog - dsbirding.wordpress.com/2022/06/07/07-…
Great to bump into my first Common Rosefinch of the year at Creachen this morning. With a spell of easterly winds forecast it wouldn't surprise me if Barra gets one or two more in the next couple of days.
Yesterday I found £20 on the grass by Eoligarry church. Didn't feel right to keep it, so found the priest and handed it over with the comment "Maybe God could see his way to sending me a rarity as thanks". Today I found a cracking male Eastern Subalpine Warbler behind the church!
Last year I had a fabulous Marsh Fritillary in my garden for one day, first in 7 years. Yesterday there were several. Reported it to the county recorder and a survey of the surrounding area is scheduled for next week. Must be an unknown colony nearby. Great news and great to see
Lapland Bunting, Norway. Just returned from a trip to Lapland/Norway. Used to seeing passage birds on the NE coast but had heart set on seeing a summer male. Surpassed expectations!
After showers cleared and the sun came out, we went to check on Barra's Short-necked Oil Beetle site. Counted 51 in an hour's search, surely the tip of the iceberg. Biggest females are now 3cm long, smallest males about 1.5cm. Lots of breeding activity going on! @OilBeetlesUK
Then @IngsFar more Swifts, House and Sand Martins plus Swallows and Hobby but the flying Bitterns took the prize @Britnatureguide @LincsWildlife @Natures_Voice @LWTWildNews @_BTO #TwitterNatureCommunity #birdphotography
Quite possibly the showiest Grasshopper Warbler I've ever seen near Castlebay this morning, sat up singing in the open for ages. It even did some wing-quivering: chances are it was showing off to a female skulking in the undergrowth.
Otter from our lounge today. They're easy to see around Barra in winter but harder in summer when the island is busy and the days are long. Early mornings and late evenings offer the best chance of seeing one in the coming months.
