What a beast! #hantsbirds @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social

A whirlwind tour of Texel last week with Spectacled Eider, Baikal Teal and more White-fronted Geese than you could shake a stick at!

Black-throated Thrush! ✅️

We’ve started Motus tagging Jack Snipe this week as a part of the Motus Tracking Project! Last week, 3 Jack Snipe were tagged in the @ldvnnr.bsky.social , and now we have captured and tagged an individual here at Spurn! 1/6 📸 C Foote

It was great fun to participate in @patchbirding.bsky.social last year. Unfortunately, I won't be in one place long enough in 2025 but I look forward to seeing how everyone gets on! #pwc2025

Very privileged to see one of my dream birds: the Wallcreeper.

Hopefully birders have been out today on their patches, starting up for a big #PWC2025! Here is the sign up and score sheet. Please follow the instructions, and then add your patch to the sign up sheet. Any questions, please get in touch! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So long 2024! Year list: 241, my first 'proper job' working with seabirds, and plenty of amazing birds seen. Hopefully 2025 brings plenty more excitement and adventure.

After first seeing this Curlew in 2020, it was fantastic to see they had returned again for the 5th consecutive winter. This individual was ringed as a chick in the Netherlands and their data shows the importance of protected estuaries as habitat for wintering waders. @waderstudy.bsky.social
