Very happy to see 2 Barn Owls out hunting as the sun was setting tonight, great way to end the day #birds

Great views of 3 SEO on my way home from work

The best opportunity to see seabirds & cetaceans off the Welsh coast. An 8-hour trip with almost guaranteed European Storm Petrel & Common Dolphin. Regular Wilson's Storm Petrel, Great & occasionally Cory's Shearwater. Both Minke & Fin Whale sighted in recent years. #ukbirding #birdingwales

The Jay is definitely the prettier of the Corvids. This one was sat outside the van waiting for a share of my Sandwich. #birdingwales #birds

Great camouflage on the Woodcock, bird landed only 10-15ft in front of us after being flushed by dogs and needed the thermal to refind. #birdingwales #birds

Cirl Bunting (4M 2F),Labrador bay 01.02.25 great camouflage, only 30 yds away and difficult to pick up through the bins, take your eye off them and difficult to refind. #ukbirding #birds

Finally great views of the Booted Eagle in Cornwall this evening as it went to roost, Uk✅ #ukbirding #birds

Enjoyable days birding in Somerset today, seen some great birds. Best being the Least Sandpiper at Steart which was a lifer ✅ Little Stint SEO Scaup and BN Grebe also seen #ukbirding #birds

The weather may have been all doom and gloom in Carmarthenshire today but the birding certainly wasn’t. Nice to catch up with this Red- necked Grebe today after two dips. #birdsinwales #birds

Great to catch up with the Glossy Ibis outside Llanelli this evening just as the rain was setting in. #birdsinwales #birds

Seen some Great birds on the East coast of Yorkshire the weekend. 8 NFY✅ Isabelline/Red Tailed Shrike,Arctic + Barred Warblers, OB Pipit, RF Bluetail, RB Fly, Little Stint and American Wigeon.

This very confiding Hoopoe was happy posing for the camera at Swansea sea front.

Curlew Sandpiper, great views at Kidwelly Quay.

Come across this bachelor herd of Red Deer at Margam on the weekend, impressive animal.
