Thanks to @BirdWatchingMag for my piece on Dirleton, East Lothian. Fantastic place for coastal and woodland birding! @polyolbion @travelwithgt @GemmKnight @RobinsonCruises @gannetrocks @VisitScotland @goeastlothian @SteelySeabirder @ShebsAlom @catidball https://t.co/PWuDvnqj90

There weren’t many #puffins on the #IsleofMay today but you can rest assured I found the few that were willing to pose. #MondayMood #VisitScotland

Another go at the #Greyheadedlapwing in watercolour, really need to invest in some decent w/c paper, such a waste though when half your efforts end up in the bin ! 😖😆 It‘s gone up in price like everything😕 Have a great weekend all👍

Visiting the Farne Islands in hazmat suits as the @nationaltrust rangers explain to us why it’s been necessary to close to visitors. Rather rough crossing!!!

Glad to be back onto Coquet Island today, for my first visit of the year, but not before seeing the fantastic first for Britain, Grey-headed Lapwing found by ⁦@Gary_D_Woodburn⁩ at Low Newton. Plenty of Puffins and my first Roseate Tern of the year. Good luck to the Rosies.

Watercolour in recognition of the amazing visit by the #Greyheadedlapwing that‘s turned up in Northumberland 🍻 Have a good night all 👍

Morning guys well no rain yet but still really cold #seahouses @NorthEastTweets

Lovely to see plenty of these lovely Collared Pratincoles this afternoon, a beautiful bird and so elegant in flight, it seems almost like a cross between a wader and a tern! #birds #Spain #birdphotography

Around an hour before sunset on Holy island just across from St Cuthbert’s island (apparently known as Hobthrush Island) As the tide rises, it becomes completely separated from Holy Island #Northumberland #lindisfarne #islandlife

#Bass The update😎 Just wonderful to sit among them .The dynamics have changed. There are gaps .Solo birds wandering, some owning site. others on substantial nests Behaviour everything we expect. It's looking positive. Still a little nervous early days @SeabirdCentre

The lack of a non-breeding flock of Mute Swans at Musselburgh so far this spring is worrying. By this time, there are typically 30-50 birds at the Esk mouth. This year - none. Is this due to avian flu, pollution, disturbance or something else?

🐳🗺🐋 Super duper excited to share marine mammal sightings maps of the Firth of Forth 🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thanks to @mastscot Emerging from Lockdown Grant for funding digitisation of 2 years of valuable data (ie. 2,082 citizen science sightings reports!) 🗺 Link: https://t.co/bABKgUzTrW

#Bass I often hear from #photographers it is their 4/5th attempt to land. I've had so many cancelled trips in just a few months 😣 Will we land today 🤞 Been watching on webcam need to land to understand how the colony really is . Update soon 😎

#MondayMood #MondayThoughts watching the sunsetting this evening at Holy Island perfect end to the day. Are you visiting this year? #holyisland #lindisfarne #Northumberland

Safe arrival at Madrid airport with as many people as we started with, hopefully we’ll find the baggage has made it too! It’s a balmy 26 degrees outside! 🌞 #spain #birding

Reed Bunting testing out the softness of the bulrushes for nest building! @Natures_Voice @WildlifeMag @AP_Magazine #reedbunting #naturephotography #spring #BirdsSeenIn2023

Every day I host a “Seashore Safari” check @sascampaigns app to confirm high water quality (and no sewage 💩releases) https://t.co/bOjwjZTqib

@silverfoxpotts @ShielGeorge @thefarneislands Just got back from staying there, love it

Are you planning a trip round the Farne Islands this year maybe to Longstone Lighthouse where you can land with @ShielGeorge and view where Grace Darling lived & rescued survivors from the Forfarshire shipwreck in 1838. Thanks to David Daly this weeks #photocompetition winner
