A cracking male Woodchat Shrike rung this morning @gonhsgib @slashercutts @asmethy
Crex Crex! Corncrakes have arrived on South Uist. One of two birds heard calling this morning. @WiWildlife @RSPBScotland @HebridesBirds @isleofsouthuist
On the beach for sunrise, South Uist. We were rewarded with wonderful views of Great Northern Divers on the first day of our trip.
An enjoyable trip to the Lincolnshire Fens today with @bearprintsphoto and @woodmanoliver1 Phonescoped images of one of 7 Common Cranes seen and a Long Eared Owl. Encouraging to see good numbers of Barn Owls as well. @WildlifeTrusts @LongearedOwlne1

Our holiday cottage on the Llyn peninsula, Wales was only 2 miles from the long staying Isabelline Wheatear, so we went to see it, a beautiful bird @Natures_Voice @BirdWatchingMag @_BTO @Team4Nature @BirdGuides @BirdSpotUK @britishbirds @Britnatureguide

The last thing I was expecting at 11am was this LEO sunning itself in south Lincs, stunning #longearedowl @Lincsbirding @lincsbirders @RSPBFrampton @LincsWildlife @LongearedOwlne1 @Team4Nature @britwildlife @BirdwatchExtra
A Gannet at sunrise, RSPB Bempton. @Bempton_Cliffs @YCNature @YorksWildlife @KowaOpticsEU #phonescoping
It was a treat to see the Red Tailed Shrike during a visit to @Bempton_Cliffs on 19.08.22.
A great road trip out yesterday with @dku1000 and @MisterIanP 2 new birds for me: The Caspian Tern at @rspbMinsmere followed by the Bee-Eaters at Trimingham. My thanks to the friendly @rspb staff on site.

I was very pleased to find this pair of BT divers on a loch on the Uists recently. They are difficult to locate so it was a special experience @north_uist @isleofsouthuist @RSPBScotland @Team4Nature @Britnatureguide @HebridesBirds @nature_scot @RSPBFrampton @BirdwatchExtra

Hen Harriers appear to float, hardly moving but cover a lot of ground quickly. A successful hunt for the Silver Ghost on North Uist @HHDayUK @north_uist @isleofsouthuist @RSPBScotland @RSPBFrampton @HebridesBirds @Britnatureguide @BirdwatchExtra @_BTO @birdsofprey_uk @BirdGuides

We saw a lot of SEOs on our recent visit to @north_uist but taking a slightly different flight shot was difficult. I was pleased with this one however @isleofsouthuist @RSPBScotland @HebridesBirds @RSPBFrampton @Hawkandowluk @Britnatureguide @BirdWatchingMag @hillholtwood #owls
These bushes near Lavenham have hosted a singing Nightingale for the past 3 springs. First heard earlier this year by @dku1000.The bird showed well eventually. The richness of their song never ceases to amaze me.

This young Sea Eagle, probably only a year old, already possesses the serene majesty that will one day see it rule its kingdom. It encapsulates wildness. @Team4Nature @north_uist @isleofsouthuist @RSPBScotland @wildscotland @RSPBFrampton @HebridesBirds @BirdWatchingMag #seaeagle
Life and death on North Uist. This White Tailed Sea Eagle had just taken a Barnacle Goose in flight from a mixed flock and made short work of devouring it. Incredible to witness.
Sad to be leaving Uist after a wonderful week of wildlife watching in the company of @woodmanoliver1 and @bearprintsphoto To say that the beaches are stunning does not do them justice. Such beautiful scenery, we were very lucky with the weather! @north_uist @SouthUist
A pair of White Tailed Sea Eagles, North Uist, Outer Hebrides. Phonescoping into a heat haze, but such a privilege to see and to capture the moment. Absolutely magnificent birds. @SouthUist @north_uist @WiWildlife @HebridesBirds
Frenetic wader activity at sunrise on the beautiful East Beach, Berneray. @waderquest @north_uist @isleofsouthuist
