Always a treat to come across Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse during daylight hours. Our @wisebirding.bsky.social group had amazing views of 7 birds in Mudayy, Oman, yesterday #oman #omanbirding #birds

Eyebrook Reservoir's run of good birds continues with this smart male American Wigeon I found at the island this afternoon. The 5th site record, and the first since 2002. Loads of wildfowl there at the moment including c1300 Tufted Ducks & 400 Pochard. #VC55Birds #UKBirding

I’ve been lucky enough to find 2 Greenish Warblers at Rattray. The first on 2nd September 2024 and then a few months back on the 9th September 2025. The photos are of the 2025 bird. It’s a nice reward for getting there early. Also code for getting there before anyone else! #BirdingScotland #birds

We arrived in The #Gambia the next month we will be not only guiding but continuing our conservation work with The Gambian Birdwatchers Association - absolute delight to see resident and migratory #Birds using the mangrove restoration we funded and planned together!

We were fortunate to see several King Vulture over our two weeks in Costa Rica - this was the only one that we saw perched, on an Osa peninsula roadside.

An exciting morning on Masirah Island when this odd looking pipit landed in front of me and gave an odd call. A great Wise Birding team effort to secure everything needed to confirm id as Oman’s 1st Paddyfield Pipit. Big thanks to Magnus Robb for confirming sound recording. #Birds #Oman #WiseBirding

Gave the patch Yellow-browed Warbler another go today, hoping to finally get a photo. Bird showed very well eventually, although very rarely without a branch cutting across it! Hopefully will get better opportunities another time. Nice to hear it calling regularly as well #SuffolkBirding

Lesser Scaup at Helston boating lake (23rd Nov). Present since 4th November and also the female from 5th. Both seem content here and look set to winter with the local Tufted Ducks.

Yesterday's Black-throated Diver has just floated slowly upstream on the rising tide in the Crouch by South Fambridge.

Phonescoped from indoors through glass but looking good in the sunshine.

Also a pair of Stonechats and a Fieldfare around the garden.

I've got a medical condition that could be described as a burning question.... #weewee

Birding conundrums? Burning questions? Required life advice? Even medical conditions. We can sort them all out in tonight's recording.
