Fantastic show from the Dark-breasted Barn Owl at Bourne South Fen, Lincs, on view on and off all morning. Only 13 previous British records of this continental subspecies ('guttata') and the first I've seen @RareBirdAlertUK

Ik deel hier vaker radarbeelden van vogeltrek, maar die van gisteravond van radar Den Helder (KNMI) zijn toch wel heel bijzonder: vogels wachten op de Waddeneilanden en in Noord-NL de schemering af, om dan massaal over steken naar Engeland, waar ze overwinteren of verder trekken!



A stones throw from home and I missed it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

A fitting tribute to Trevor's hard work and dedication at Squires Down. A privilege to have been a small part of. He would have been made up!

An outstanding recovery, Grasshopper Warbler, Locustella naevia. Ringed: 27/08/2022 Squire's Down, Dorset. UK. Controlled: Kartong Bird Observatory, The Gambia. 8/1/2024. The first UK @_BTO ringed Grasshopper Warbler to The Gambia and only the 4th south of the Sahara. @_BTO

The Curlew carrying a Finnish ring was ringed by me in June 2002 as a chick in Central Finland. At an age of 21+ years it is the oldest of my ringings. The Finnish record for a Curlew is 30 years, and this 21-year old places within the top10 oldest.

Great day in N Wales with SCAN ringing group canon netting Curlew. 86 processed including a Finnish control. A new bird for me in the form of a Whimbrel which was colour ringed as part of an ongoing project. Amazed at how small it was in the hand.

Great thread 🧵

This is a really nice infographic with lots of interesting facts. Everything sounds straightforward and clear and hence, why not sign this sensible petition? Well, sadly not everything is as straightforward as it seems.

After all, it's just a rat with a buoyancy aid.

Is it a beaver? Is it a otter? No, it’s a squirrel swimming in the Fowey estuary, Cornwall! Nuts 🥜
