On Tuesday, we had an incredible fall of migrants across the island with totals from all birders, including 91 Willow Warblers, 334 Chiffchaff, 135 Blackcap, and 42 Goldcrest. The Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff records were the highest ever recorded on the island in March.

Pallas's gull on Lake Balaton, Hungary - an amazing rarity that is becoming slightly more regular in recent years.

Tory MP @danny__kruger claimed £3,598 on expenses for his utility bill last year. This was the highest claim by any MP to cover their bills in such a short duration. Retweet if you think Kruger should pay for his own gas and electric supply.
