I wasn't expecting to add any new species to my patch during the rest of the year but I was thrilled to see 7 Pink-feet flying over East Wretham Heath this am, bringing me to 118 for the year (113 last). I've put in a lot more effort, except in November, which has been hectic.

NEW BLOG - the RBBP reviews what species we should collect data on regularly. Here’s an explanation of what we consider when species are removed, and why Avocet and Mediterranean Gull are staying on our list, for now https://t.co/Q5xgXoRxGM

Latest BirdTrack data show Woodcock arriving en masse over the the last fortnight. Sadly, Woodcock are prone to colliding with buildings while they migrate. If you find a dead Woodcock in these circumstances, please add the record to BirdTrack or email details to woodcock@bto.org

Sadly, we have seen a big increase in avian flu cases in the UK- particularly in waterfowl Whilst the risk to the public remains assessed as very low, Government advice is not to touch any visibly sick or dead birds, and to keep pets away Read on for ways to help: 📷Ben Andrew

A pretty depressing day counting sick & dead Whooper Swans. Avian influenza is within the population. Please report all dead birds for possible collection & testing. In 🏴 , 🏴 & 🏴 this is @DefraGovUK

Amazing to see this gorgeous Long-eared Owl nestled on the south coast cliffs @FI_Obs. It's precarious choice to rest shown in the second image with crashing waves behind it!

Migrant #RingOuzels were still passing through Devon's #Dartmoor this morning. A nice mixture of immatures and adults, with 7 birds seen in blustery conditions. A lovely hour or so. #MountainBlackbird #BirdMigration

One of two Northern Long-tailed Tits on the island of Yell, Shetland early this morning. It was like watching excited golf balls with wings and I'm not sure there is a word that can justify their beauty.

Wow! It was looking like a poor year for Yellow-browed Warbler but that has changed in the last week with reports well above average for the time of year. Still some way to go beat the all time record week in October 2016, when the species appeared on 8.5% of all complete lists!

With easterly winds bringing common migrants and some autumn rarities, such as this Pechora Pipit, this week's migration blog explores what happens to vagrant birds that reach our shores https://t.co/ldAPFDrWKT
Well, I didn't expect to see one of these today - Pechora Pipit at South Shields this afternoon. A very tough bird to see, and showed mainly in flight, but it did show well on a couple of occasions... a proper mainland mega, and a lifer for me.
