5 years ago on the Blyth estuary...
After a nearly an hour of watching, I was pleased to finally get a video of this Osprey fishing on the river Blyth in Suffolk today, including the impressive dive and final catch - with the last bit again at half normal speed - what a bird! @suffolkwildlife @SuffolkBirdGrp

The Turkestan Shrike now present for its fifth day at Dunwich Heath, Suffolk, showing very well, and finding plenty of insects to eat within a relatively small area. Here's my new video taken in much better light this morning (7th October 2025) @RareBirdAlertUK

The bird baths in my garden are always very popular, especially on a sunny day... here's a Wren taking a prolonged bath this morning before a Robin dropped in to take its place! (6th October 2025)

My short video of the Turkestan Shrike at Dunwich Heath this morning, in bright but breezy conditions. A very rare visitor to the UK and the first for Suffolk, all the way from central Asia! (5th October 2025) @SuffolkBirdGrp

A Curlew feeding at low water on the Deben estuary, Suffolk, and using its long bill to reach the prey that most other waders can't reach, in this case a very large lugworm! (1st October 2025) @suffolkwildlife @GrahamFAppleton @curlewcalls @waderquest

Another view from my kitchen window today with Blue and Long-tailed Tits, Coal Tit, Dunnock and a curious Wren all hanging around the bird bath, never a dull moment!

The view from my kitchen window... in a sheltered spot, a dish of clean water, and always a number of different birds coming down to drink and bathe - such a good way to start the day, every day!

The Eagle has landed... an immature White-tailed Eagle dropping down to land on the Isle of Wight! Although I went looking, based on local advice from the National Trust, watching this huge bird landing was an unexpected and truly spectacular sight! (18th September 2025)
