@James_K_Boyle @mlgillard @Natures_Voice @Britnatureguide @AvianMugshots @wildlife_uk @TheIneptBirder Would be ironic if it was an actual typewriter

@mlgillard @Natures_Voice @Britnatureguide @AvianMugshots @wildlife_uk @TheIneptBirder Oh I see what you mean! I am quite rubbish at bird calls, but if there is a UK bird that sounds like a yellow rail, @James_K_Boyle surely knows who that is

@mlgillard @Natures_Voice @Britnatureguide @AvianMugshots @wildlife_uk @TheIneptBirder A long time since I've heard a typewriter! Could it perhaps be the alarm call of a wren?

Sometimes it's the bird who does the watching: juvenile cuckoo

And the eye is in focus!

[The Inept Birder @TheIneptBirder]

Wow, well done. The composition, the crisp focus, the stunning chiaroscuro...

[Lockdown birder 📸🐦 @BirdCamBot]

Such a coveted shot: puffin with a beakful of fish.
Nailed it 🔨

Likely a lesser black-backed gull rather than herring, but us peasants are not entitled to an edit function!

@SteveBotham6 I think you might be right! It looked light in the sunlight but looking at it now it's likely LBB

[Lockdown birder 📸🐦 @BirdCamBot]

@SteelySeabirder Truly beautiful, I had also never seen razorbills carry fish like this, unlike the puffins they don't like to pose!
