 exactly 10 years and counting…. Probably take me another 20 years to reach 400 spp @Team_eBird
Bird of the year! macaulaylibrary.org/asset/61732083…
I’m hearing it’s a big chaffinch day in east Norfolk, mid/late March vismig is one of the things I miss most about there! Here is my best chaffinch day from Hemsby ebird.org/checklist/S661…
When I lived there there may have been one fire per summer! I hope the cruise ships visiting the islands highlight the danger the wildlife is under from climate change! 2/2
Worrying times on the Falklands, large fires on Steeple Jason, bird Island, Sea Lion Island and Johnson’s Harbour (not too far from Volunteer Point!) this summer! All important bird areas under threat as summers get drier and hotter! 1/2
Practicing darts in your garage just got interesting! A friend in the Falklands just got invaded by grey-backed stormies despite living several miles from the sea. Amazing record!
First visit of the year to the breakfast bar
The newest data has come in just now...! He left the region yesterday afternoon and arrived in Belgium early this morning (took a rest at sea near Norwich). Quite extraordinary....
It was a rubbish December for getting out birding but there have been some big movements in the scores and a last mega! Final results for #PWC2023 tonight with special guests @SBO_Jason and @snettsbirder
After counting 8 million of these I had to get this t-shirt when I saw it!
Handy book for this evenings writing…
Fantastic Waxwing #DataViz
Really enjoying exploring Aberdeens #Glittering West End @PatchBirding . Crossbill and mistle thrush singing, loads of thrushes, Kingfisher, and a lovely red squirrel.
Here is @Ornid walking you through entry to #PWC2024 through sign up, keeping score, updating your score and following the podcast. If you have any questions please get in touch. youtu.be/Uz8V5fXLxYM
Here is your #PWC2024 Scoresheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
It amazes me the amount of tweets saying ‘2023 was the best years birding’ etc with no mention of the catastrophic declines in common migs! Has birding become about vagrants & nothing else? I enjoy the scarcities/rarities I found but the lack of common migs is far more worrying!
It's here! The latest PWC pod feat Scott Reid and Vincent Stork youtu.be/08FNEYGPxFA?si…
Dutch Patchwork Challenge is available on @dutchbirding and @waarneming. Big thanks to all involved incl the guys of @PatchBirding. Already 60 participants and birdind our patch is only 53,5 hours away #pwc24 #dpwc24 dutchbirding.nl/dbactueel/1907…
Penultimate record of #PWC2023 tonight with @stmarys_patch and @StorkVincent to talk about their patch years, yank warblers and the new Dutch / Low Countries #PWC2024 supported by @dutchbirding and @waarneming. Has anyone got questions they'd like to ask Scott, Vincent or James?

771 Followers 129 Following@BluethroatJames @birdinglothian To me it sounds off for tristis, in that it is too high pitched. It’s more likely to be one of the variations on the ‘sweeoo’ theme, some of which can sound quite tristis like. On a sonogram it would show ‘steeper sides’ than you’d see on a tristis.
A bit unexpected, but this White-fronted Goose flew in off the sea and settled briefly on Marazion Marsh this evening. This looks like the albifrons European race (orange legs, pink bill). It’s the first Cornwall white-front for the year for me. (All grey geese are rare in…
Fantastic to see the progressive smoking ban passed in parliament. Neither of my kids can ever legally buy tobacco in this country. As the son of two smokers, one of whom died of lung cancer, I feel this like so many of my generation. Really good news.
Only really a Grey Wag of note this morning until an Alpine Swift appeared. Last seen a good way inland, north of Waxham, heading north west. Vain attempt to get in on the house list failed miserably. #lowcarbonbirding
Never posted this due to possible breeding, but just found this Marsh Warb recording from my #kilnsea garden last June whilst unsuccessfully looking for a mixed singer Chiffchaff to reply to a @RyanIrv66544163 tweet!

Another superb day on the coast. Hardly a soul around. Recent sightings in the square include Black and Common Redstarts, Ring Ouzels, Woodlark, Hooded Crow, Red Kites, Spoonbills, Groppers, Willow Warblers and Whitethroats. #lowcarbonbirding
Another Blast from the Past. An account of the Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler from 2014 that Andy and I had. My most exciting day’s birding. Caused a bit of trouble at the time😁🙄 #lowcarbonbirding tg42lowcarbonbirding.wixsite.com/tg42/pallas-gr…
All being well the two new Motus stations should cover the west coast of Penwith. Start installing on the 15th April.
Lovely morning of vismig in TG42 with observers recording sev. Ouzels, sev. Red Kites, a few Yellow Wags, sev. Swallows, Sand Martins, House Martin, Woodlark, Wheatear, Spoonbill & many finches south, mainly Siskin & Chaffinches & a few Yellowhammer etc #lowcarbonbirding
I thought today may be my first day in over 15500 days when I didn’t actually see a bird on the planet despite actively searching but a distant un-ID’d Pterodroma saved the day - 1 bird in 250km of tropical ocean!
Had reason to look at the artwork within this beautiful booklet recently, Lars Jonsson's Swedish language "Lommar". I bought it from Lars at the Swanwick BTO/Birding World conference in 1992 & I'm so pleased I did. A gorgeous volume & the very best diver illustrations there are.

Great Devon Bird Report now out, but disappointed all my @Team_eBird Devon records absent from report. Plus many other Devon E-birders too? This should be picked up. No County Recorder obvs not helping situation!😳Well done to all producing it, but how much important data lost?
It's been a fun few days in Devon and nice to see @RyanIrv66544163 in 3D for the first time in a while. Less nice was the soaking we got vismigging on Tuesday morning up at Venford Reservoir. It was a struggle working with views like this from the office window!
