This is hard to believe even for me, but we just got another new bird for Colombia in almost exactly the same spot as yesterday’s Piping Plover 🤯

@WriterHannahBT I had one of my best ever bird encounters with a raven in Pembrokeshire yesterday: it was barrel rolling in the wind before it picked up a massive stick and started playing with it; tossing it to another raven and in the air and even flying along with it. Amazing behavior to see!

@WriterHannahBT Mine were also swifts, screaming over my parents house. Looking forward to seeing you speak at @GlobalBirdfair :)

Kirtland’s Warbler was one of my most-wanted birds for 2023, and I was delighted to get it this morning in Michigan on a trip after the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. What a bird! #BirdsSeenIn2023 #BirdTwitter

[The Birders Show @TheBirdersShow]

Close encounters of the bird kind!

Red-winged Blackbirds at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary are certainly bold #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023

I had a great time at the #IndianaDunesBirdingFestival. Incredible birding, lovely people, & a real sense of community: it was everything I could want in a birding festival.

And I managed to "tick" my hat: American Woodcock, Kirtland's Warbler & Piping Plover #BirdsSeenIn2023

And that’s a wrap!

We had an amazing time filming in Israel and competing at @flywaychampions with loads of old and new birding friends. What an adventure! Keep your eyes out for the episodes, coming soon #cotf23 #flywaychampions #gogeese

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Israel for @flywaychampions: 5000+ Black Kites coming in to roost at a date palm plantation near Kfar Ruppin. A truly awe-inspiring sight indeed! #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023 #COTF23

This beautiful Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) was one of the highlights of our scouting trip to Yeruham Lake for @flywaychampions. What a little cracker! #cotf23 #BirdTwitter #BirdsSeenIn2023
