  1. Here's a video of the Long-tailed Shrike seen on the Oxfordshire side of the field. Not as bad as some of my efforts 😀. We got there early enough to have haze-free views.

  6. Up early to trundle up to the Gloucestershire / Oxfordshire border for the visiting Long-tailed Shrike. Accompanied by Kevon O, Archie O, Dave B which made the driving easy.

    The early arrival meant no heat haze and great views of the close bird.

  22. Fabulous - but long - day out to see the Western Reef Heron, in south-west Wales. Great views and great company with DB, KO and AO.

    Afterwards some Chough and Puffin at the Deer Park, Lockley Lodge. #UKBirding #wales #nature #wildlife #chough #BirdsofMastodon

  27. Nothing finer than being in the hide at Bowling Green Marsh on a summer evening with no one else. Except if there's an absolutely beautiful summer plumage Spotted Redshank right in front of you. And with a great supporting 'cast' too inc. summer plumage Black-tailed Godwit, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank. Superb. #UKBirding #nature #wildlife #Devon #BirdsofMastodon

  32. I had a lovely few hours yesterday morning birding around RSPB Frampton Marsh, including spoonbills, speckled redshank (with sneakily non-red shanks!), black tailed godwits and little ringed plover - as well as teal, shoveler, mallard and tufted ducks.
    I usually think of Frampton as a place to go in winter, that’s certainly been changed. I might go back for one of their wader ID courses - the list above was reached in part by taking a *lot* of photos and reviewing them this morning with a couple of fieldguides and merlin to help me… (Yes, I got the spoonbills without help, thank you very much!)
    Anyway, go to Frampton, see loads of cool birds (even if you can’t ID some of them on the spot), chat to friendly fellow visitors and the wonderfully welcoming reserve staff & volunteers, spend a couple of quid in the café (I rate the cheese scones), you really won’t regret it!

  46. A fab. 6 hour trip in Lyme Bay, #Devon onboard Kelly's Hero. Highlights were great views of European Storm Petrel, a raft of at least 120 Manx Shearwater as well as a Sunfish & Gannet. Great company too.
