  1. “This should go well in the bedroom”. Puffin on Inner Farne, Northumberland. I’m hoping I’ve got some ‘proper’ footage but this straight from the iPhone….

  7. A rather splendid trip to the Levels today with Dave B...... Yellow Wagtails, Hobby & one of the best bacon rolls I've had in a long time (Sweets Tea Rooms, Wedmore) were the highlights.

  12. A nice diversion from a dentist appointment - the male (I think) #Leamington Peregrine on the very familiar town hall bell tower. Made me feel quite nostalgic!

  18. However, it would be wrong of me to deprive you of my record shots of the Lesser Kestrel....seen hunting, perched, preening and generally flying about with Dave B

  19. #Cornwall with Dave B earlier today... the Lesser Kestrel was special (especially as it was in the company of John and Michelle, Archie and Kev and Leon) but I really enjoyed seeing a Cornish Chough. Special birds. #UKBirding #chough #birds #birdsofmastodon #nature #wildlife #palores #cornish

  24. The song of a Tree Pipit always makes my heart grow lighter.

    They were out in force this morning, I reckon at least five on a Common not far from Exeter. On the way back to the car park, a pair of Dartford Warbler emerged from their skulkiness and then Dave B pulled his weight by spotting some Crossbill 😂

  25. Exminster Marshes near #Exeter comes into its own at this time of year. A fabulous 3 hr visit this morning with Dave B in the glorious #Devon sun; my first Reed & Sedge Warbler, Hobby, Whimbrel and Swift of the year & good company to boot. As well as loads of other species. #UKBirding #nature #wildlife #birds #birdsofmastodon

  30. If photos are more your thing than video...

    📷 Red-spotted Bluethroat
    📷 Red Squirrel (I watch it for so long, I forgot to take a snap when it was out in the open 😂)

  32. I had to go to the Isle of Wight today....I went via Wareham in the hopes of seeing the Red-spotted Bluethroat. It was a beautiful experience - it was singing and calling less than 10ft away at times. As if that wasn't enough - a Red Squirrel on IoW!!!

  33. Other highlights of the #Dartmoor trip were good sightings of an aerial battle between two Cuckoo, Wheatear and Skylark.

  34. Always nice when something unexpected turns up .... on Sunday, Mr @exebirder.bsky.social Dave B and I were following the call of a newly-arrived Cuckoo when we heard the unmistakable reeling of of a newly-arrived Grasshopper Warbler. After a slow process of stop, wait and listen we found the bird.

  35. Even if I say so myself, there's some good footage of Red Kite and Great Bustard on this video. The Red-legged and Grey Partridge and Stone Curlew bits are just average 😂

  36. 1/2 I sneaked away from the family holiday to visit #SalisburyPlain. Have to say, it felt odd on my own (as we normally bring a car full of birder mates) but I had a great day.

  38. A sunny Spring morning on #Dartmoor with Dave B.... highlights were 3 male Redstart fighting over a single female, Pied Flycatcher, my first Swallow of the year. #UKBirding #Birds #Devon #nature #wildlife #BirdsofMastodon

  39. Before the Forster's Tern, I spent a fabulous 3 hours on a Birds of Poole Harbour Spring Safari boat trip around Poole Harbour. Thoroughly recommend it. 2 White-tailed Eagle and over 40 species of bird in total. Loved it. #UKBirding #Birds #Dorset #Poole #nature #wildlife

  40. Thanks to some great detective work by mate Dave B (asking a local where we could view a distant flock of Tern), we ended up not 60 feet away from the fabulous Forster's Tern in Holes Bay, Poole, #Dorset. Even I could not mess the video up!!!
