Lots of excitement around @shr_thing fantastic find on Saturday. Arrived with my father and Edwina we where treated to great views . Lots of people there and also on the Sunday by the castle….@raylfc1@jonnybirder@LewiBurgess
Just back from a fantastic trip to Finland, such a beautiful country and wonderful people…ohhh and some great birds too 😊organised by G. Hogan . The fabulous Great grey owl stole the show for me …. Simply stunning
End of a fantastic tour here in NE India with @BirdtourAsia and Mike Nelson … we were hampered with rainy and foggy conditions but this didn’t dampen the spirits too much . @AlanTwitch
Traveling in NE India with Birdtour Asia is bird filled and action packed but without mod cons 🫣… first day with WiFi and more importantly a soft comfortable bed 😂…Great birds … sorry you will have to tip your phone though
Honestly a fairly quiet year for me ( 2025) but a 3 week trip to Japan more than made up for missing a few UK ticks ….Blakiston’s Fish-Owl
And seeing Orca so well and the amazing Harlequin Duck @zootherabirding
Bufflehead showed so nicely this morning and such a stunning vista here at Fford Bay too …. Lots of people here I knew great to catch up . Pressure was off as I saw the Point of Ayr bird , but here was special.
We were fortunate during our Japan trip, whilst sailing back to Toyoko from
Miyama-jima we were surrounded by Streaked Shearwaters and also
C.20 Black-footed And a fantastic Laysan Albatrosses @zootherabirding ( Laysan Albatross picture from Nick) @keelebirder@AlanDaviesbirds
So excited to see Rhinoceros Auklet off the coast of Hokkaido Japan ..sadly due bad weather ( literally the only time on the whole trip!!) we missed our chance for Tufted Puffin @zootherabirding @ZSpaull @Bobby00651 @keelebirder
Yesterday I posted images of Siberian Rubythroat but this Chestnut-eared bunting would be an ABSOLUTE MEGA…Again I must underline this is taken in Japan … a tour I really enjoyed this May with @zootherabirding @NeillsOutBirdin @AlexHJ25 @488IanB
Imagine the scenes if one of these beauties were to up ( hopefully in north Wales!!😉) … must clarify these images were taken on Hokkaido on a fabulous @zootherabirding trip in May @keelebirder @biggesttwitch @Bobby00651
After 4 very hard days @spurnbirdobs … all due to unseasonably west winds….everyone here is so warm and welcoming. I headed home only for @marcbuzzard to find a fabulous Wryneck on the Orme . Enjoyed nice views with Robin and my father 😍
Had a great hour mushroom hunting in local woodland looking….obviously I only harvested ( very small amounts) and only known specimens…I left these stunning Fly Agaric to the slugs 😳😊#foraging
