Whilst birding on Unst, news broke of an Eastern Bonelli's Warbler. The bird performed well to the small crowd present. #RareBirdsUK #UKBirding

Just returned from a much needed break to the Shetland Isles (my 14th visit) with @scottmayson.bsky.social and @wallcreeper1.bsky.social

For me, my birding highlight of the trip was watching my 3rd Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler down to 20ft with 7 other birders whilst on Unst.

Eastern Stonechat...DNA results back from the Stonechat that was found at Trimley Marshes early Nov, confirmed it to be Siberian Stonechat rather than Amur Stonechat that we all led to be believed it to be! #UKBirding #SuffolkBiridng

My first outing of 2025 was a cold and frosty event, but was rewarded with 2 Tundra Bean Geese in fields north of Thorpeness village. #suffolkbirding #ukbirding

Well, that's 2024 almost done with! My only new birds were book-ended by NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH in Essex and YELLOW WARBLER in Kent. Shetland was as good as ever, with EASTERN CROWNED WARBLER and PECHORA PIPIT being the pick of the bunch. The Norfolk DESERT WARBLER was good value too. Suffolk Year 211

Patient was required this morning for the Yellow Warbler, but the bird didn't disappoint and gave good views for those who remained on site. #UKBirding

This beautiful Amur Stonechat continued to show well today at Trimley Marshes SWT. It was also good to catch up with some friends. #SuffolkBirding #UKBiridng

The Amur Stonechat was showing nicely this afternoon in weedy field along the approach track to Trimley Marshes SWT
