While Scilly '84 is still on my mind, here's a short summary of that trip, with a few ancient pics. Makes me feel very old...

Just recorded this. Scilly '84. Even better than I remembered and well worth a listen. @swalebirder.bsky.social and @iwtscilly.bsky.social feature briefly, plus many other familiar voices, some sadly long gone. Quite a nostalgia trip...

Not sure I remember this programme at the time - it is nearly 40 years ago - but it’s being repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra a few times tomorrow.

Taking flight shots with the Nikon P950, sometimes successfully...πŸ˜„ #UKbirding

No birds, no moths...

Notwithstanding some very unlikely surprise or other, that's it for the 2024 birding year... #UKbirding

Winter Moth and Mompha epilobiella along the Exeter Canal this evening but, to be honest, moths were not the target! πŸ˜„

A late-morning wander around West Bay was very quiet, but you can always find a few Rock Pipits somewhere. And I do like a Rock Pipit...😍 #DorsetBirds

Apologies for the retro link, but another Blueskyer's post reminded me of this unforgettable event from 14 winters ago. Birds are just awesome...
