It has been a while since I saw my last UK Barred Warbler - Southwold 2019 - so it was great to get such good views of the 1cy at Kessingland this afternoon #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

Quite shocked by this Common Buzzard yesterday at Falsterbo - dark chocolate bib & pale underparts almost like a Swainson’s Hawk. Anybody else seen this plumage variant?

Young followers, and those of a nervous disposition, look away now.

On this day 40 years ago; Little Whimbrel, as it was known back then, on Blakeney Freshmarsh.

I believe that if we ever get another one, it will be called Little Curlew, but of course, what’s the chances of that…?

Whilst we welcome Zitting Cisticola as a long-predicted colonist in the wake of climate change, we must also recognise that the arrival of such northern range edge species means that we are condemned to lose the likes of Willow Warbler, Ring Ouzel and Twite from the south

Zitting cisticola
Walberswick, Suffolk, 23/08/2025
I thought I was having a good day with an image of one of the juveniles from the 1st recorded breeding of Zitting cisticola in the UK. On review I found four juveniles and the adult female🤯
