What a year it has been @northronbirdobs.bsky.social ! Personal highlights include Ortolan Bunting, Great Snipe, Black-faced Bunting, Long-tailed Skua, Stone-curlew (island mega!), and a pterdroma now in the hands of the BBRC powers that be as a Zino’s Petrel! #UKbirding

Another day, another bird. This Black-headed Bunting found by @maddyhine.bsky.social is our 9th island record and first since 2012. Needless to say, another island tick!

I have been meaning to get a blog going for a while now, and @georgenorthron.bsky.social abandoning me to go to Finland seemed to provide the motivation.
Read about my winter away from the island and getting back into birding now I’m back!

An amazing afternoon spent with Ptarmigan at Cairngorm. Beautiful birds to see up close, and a long overdue lifer for me ☺️

Taiga Bean Geese at Slamannan today took a bit of work to find with @tomgale98.bsky.social and @georgenorthron.bsky.social, but eventually saw them pretty well. Smew on the way back to Edinburgh was an added bonus #UKbirding
