@LewisStuff @OuseFenBirder Clements, Avibase/Avilist and e-bird all now have Sharpbill as a mono-typic family Oxyruncidae.

@AshDykes I’ve been following @AshDykes after Madagascar but long before Yangtze. The algorithm somehow found me; maybe around 2018.

@AshDykes Another fab 2 episodes of “The Great Wall with @AshDykes” on free-to-air Australian TV tonight. More well told fascinating stories and facts. Loving the bonds and connections Ash makes with the people he meets.

@AshDykes My review: A fascinating set of stories that immerses you into China’s Great Wall free of clichés and puffery. A new approach to looking at the Great Wall that explores stories of people, history, environment and culture. And the last 10 mins of ep2 was jaw dropping suspense

Incredibly exciting to see photos and videos of my TV show airing across Australia!

At 20, I was traveling through Australia with no idea that one day, I’d be hosting international TV shows—and that one of them would be broadcast across the very country I was exploring! 🇦🇺

It’s surreal to think it’s airing on the other side of the world before it reaches my home country… but hey, that’s a story for another time! 🤣

Grateful for the journey and the support that’s made moments like this possible.

TOMORROW ACROSS AUSTRALIA!!!! 🇦🇺📺

28th Jan at 8:30pm, my show “The Great Wall with Ash Dykes” aires across Australia on SBS and SBS on-demand. Every Tuesday for the next 6 weeks (6 episodes).

So thrilled! 🤩 I won’t get to see it myself, but if you catch it, I’d love for you to share any photos or videos with me. Can’t wait to hear about it! 🔥

A thread on inappropriate (re)introductions. It’s a little long (sorry) and perhaps a little grumpy (sorry again). Arguing against the work of others is rarely a good look, especially as we are all, essentially, on the same side, but… 1/21

And also find 3, now critically endangered, gorgeous female Australian Painted Snipe at Newcastle, NSW today

[Chris Gladwin @CHRISBIRDW]

Was able to drive the legendary Thomas & Thomas to see 4 Aleutian Terns at Old Bar, NSW today. A now annual event. With @OuseFenBirder and @PittaGirl

@RareBirdAlertUK Mom? Are @RareBirdAlertUK now RareBirdAlertUSA?

@LewisStuff @LewisStuff proving again that BOC posts are unnecessary, and simply bragging.

@themarshtit @sounds_wild @GlobalBirdfair So good to finally meet @themarshtit at the @globalbirdfair. You really are filled with as much energy and excitement about our natural surroundings as you’ve always come across in yours, and the, media.
