We can't wait to be back @officialronnies on 28 May! Three part horn section, vocal guests and debuting brand new material. It's going to be so special! Tickets on sale now, grab yours quick (link in bio) !
The birding in South Africa over Christmas and New Year was absolutely superb. 223 species in 18 days on a non-birding holiday, taking in the Kruger NP, coastal KwaZulu-Natal & the Cape Peninsula/Cape Town. Here are some photo highlights. Mind-expanding and unforgettable!
Southern Ground Hornbill chucking its prey into the air before swallowing it whole; Kruger National Park. Ingenious birds! Definitely one of my main birding highlights in South Africa 🇿🇦
Four apex predators: African Wild Dog, Leopard, Lion and Spotted Hyena. Kruger National Park, December 2024 🇿🇦 . Loved every minute! #krugernationalpark
"Get off"! Leopard pair in the Kruger National Park, with the female flinging the male aside seconds after mating. Unforgettable moment from an exceptionally special trip to South Africa 🇿🇦 . Still trying to digest it all! More shots to come 🙃 #leopard #krugernationalpark
Honoured that my group @NimbusSextet 's single 'Searching' has been included in Craig Charles' @CCfunkandsoul 's best releases of 2024 on @BBC6Music 🙏 . Check the single out via my website ☝️. Lots of love went into this; delighted it's getting more back ❤️

Storm Darragh delivered two Little Auks off Musselburgh this afternoon; one alive and well and the other meeting a dramatic demise by a GBBG. Also Great Northern Diver west @birdinglothian
3 Little Auk on the sea off Fisherrow this afternoon were only my second record from the flat window. Also 13 Twite along the seawall @birdinglothian
This dapper Snow Bunting was briefly at Whitberry Point, Tyninghame this afternoon; also a Red-necked Grebe, 4 Puffin, Great Northern Diver, 20 RT Diver and 2 Arctic Skua in ideal still conditions offshore @birdinglothian
Smart adult Med Gull bathing near the Esk Mouth at Musselburgh this week @birdinglothian
There you are! We're playing a gig in London! Monday November 18th, Servant Jazz Quarters, Dalston. Come one, come all! Ticket link in bio❤️
Nice autumn arrivals at Musselburgh. Maximum of 12 Twite by the seawall, with 9 more at Barns Ness & vismigging 400+ Redwing on Fri. Late birds at Muss include 2 Ruff, Blackwit and Swallow, plus more seasonal 18 Whooper Swan (13 new lagoons) & showy Med Gull @birdinglothian
The Musselburgh patch still produces nice birds, even when it's quieter. Two Whooper Swan on the scrapes on Friday, and one of two Med Gulls at the Esk Mouth in the last week. Also 2 each of Red-necked and Slavonian Grebe offshore, & close roosting Barnacle Goose @birdinglothian
Arrivals coinciding nicely with my new camera setup. 350+ Barnacle Geese through on Tuesday at Musselburgh, with some colour-ringed birds on the scrapes. 4 Sooty Shear, 42 Manx, 8 Arctic Tern & 5 Arctic Skua also that day; and a Short-eared Owl at Aberlady on Sat @birdinglothian
Yellow-browed Warbler at the wire dump, and another alongside a Pied Fly in the old campsite wood at Barns Ness this afternoon. A productive seawatch at Seacliff yesterday with 3 Sooty Shearwater the highlight, plus several Manxies and Arctic Skua moving through @birdinglothian
Juv dark morph Pom Skua off Musselburgh seawall early afternoon, harrying gulls then heading east. Eventful start to the month here with up to 4 Little Stint, 4 Curlew Sand, Red-necked & Slav Grebe, + 17 Pale-bellied Brent at Esk Mouth yday (here's some of them) @birdinglothian
Probable juvenile Montagu's Harrier west 12:20 from Musselburgh seawall; lost towards Leith. Difficult to fully clinch it at distance but main features pointed to Monty's. Capping off a decent month's patching; other highlights Stejneger's Scoter & Curlew Sand @birdinglothian
