Unexpected find this morning with this Osprey sat on a perch at Malltraeth.
This bird was wearing a blue colour ring hopefully @philipsnowart's camera trap will get the combination.

Best views I've ever had of a Grasshopper Warbler but also my favourite phonescooped photo I've taken #zeissbirding

Grasshopper Warbler reeling at dawn this morning on Anglesey, one of 3 singing birds at this location.
There aren't many birds that top the song of these.

Mixed seasonal feel today whilst birding along the N Wales coastline with the Iceland Gull, Scaup & Snow Bunt at Rhyl plus 2 Lapland Buntings on the Great Orme being accompanied by 16+ Wheatear!

Goshawk flying over the car was very special too

Blustery winds and bunting mad on the Great Orme once again, the pair of Lapland Bunts showed down to less than c5m 💨⛰

Annoying to hear photographers flushing them to get close - just sit, wait & they come right up to you

Over the moon to announce that I'll be representing @ZEISSBirding as an ambassador for them, got to try out my new Victory SF's and Harpia 85mm scope, the clarity is unreal!
First bird I see using my new optics is a Black Redstart - Bangor ✔!
