Jersey’s First ever Bay-breasted Warbler trapped at Ouaisne this morning!!! Initially thought to be Blackpoll but re identified from photos @BirdGuides

Isabelline shrike, Dunwich Heath, 14 years and 500 yards from yesterday’s Turkestan shrike.

Dear @nationaltrust, Can you please remind your staff (presumed warden) of the 20mph speed limit that you have enforced on Dunwich Heath. I was watching the Turkestan Shrike yesterday, and his actions were not acceptable!

It's good that all my records entered into BirdTrack, with numbers and breeding evidence, can be accessed by County bird recorders and used I the submission to @ukrbbp

The end of October normally sees the peak reporting rate of Hawfinch on #BirdTrack. They have been on a higher than average number of complete lists so far this autumn, will you record one of yours this weekend?

Have you have been lucky enough to find and record on #BirdTrack any rare or scarce species this autumn? If so remember to sign into the web app https://t.co/c4hWHpwlMI to check your notifications for any Rare Bird Forms to fill in and queries from local recorders to respond to.

The Desert Warbler performed well this morning. There's going to be some killer shots on socials later...

Hmmm, decisions, decisions. Which mug do I use for inspiration? It's that time of the weekend when Lowestoft birders suffer from the terrible affliction known as optimism.

Ever wanted to live the birders dream and own a beautiful fully renovated croft on mainland #Shetland then look no further. Check the link below.

The Scottish Outdoor Access legislation gives everyone in Shetland the right to responsibly access the land. I’ve had a lot of folk in contact this week saying that they’ve faced harassment and threatening behaviour. If you’ve experienced this- please report to @PoliceScotland

Heading to Corsica for a couple of days so hoping to catch up with the endemic nuthatch and finch. Looking on Bubo, seems that Col de Sorba is where most people have seen them, but any info would be appreciated.

And so it begins #Shetland2024

Did you have a terrific birding trip to Iceland in May, but then lose your SD card with your 3,700 bird photos in Norfolk? I have it!
