2nd record for Georgia and 1st for us and the author of the photo, Alexander Rukhaia. A nonsense vagrant, Three-banded Plover, a pure African resident, foraging at the Chorokhi River Delta in Batumi, Georgia. How incredible is that?!

A big influx of Jack Snipe today across Scilly. I saw 3 different birds on St Martin’s including 2 different birds feeding on beautiful beaches and rock pools! Such fabulous little birds. #scillybirds

One of those days birds were just dropping in. Late this afternoon I found this Red-backed Shrike at Nasg, a place that had been checked numerous times today. Also 10 Crossbill briefly at Creachan. The RB Fly was showing well at the pitch and another RB Fly at the gnome garden

A North American Northern Parula and from the far east a Siberian Chiffchaff sharing the same valley at the end of the Beara Peninsula yesterday. Autumn in Ireland can be very exciting, bringing us birds from all directions!

Another shot of yesterdays Black Scoter passed Hartlepool. This shot shows the thicker neck of a drake Black compared to drake Common Scoter. It's a feature I wasn't aware of until yesterday but worth knowing when trying to pick out a flying Black Scoter

American Buff-bellied Pipit from Clahane, Co. Clare last Monday. This was the start of an incredible week in Irish birding. A long, long overdue tick for me. @BirdGuides

RED-FLANKED BLUETAIL very briefly in Wells Woods today. Not seen again despite searching
A dream come true. Finding a red-flanked bluetail. Mythical bird of my youth. Long, long wanted. Wells Woods, Norfolk, this afternoon.
