I can't process how fantastic yesterday was. Five years of pain and dipping (8x) in various counties of this bird finally put to rest with incredible views of the Black-Browed Albatross yesterday evening at Bempton Cliffs. I've never been more relieved and happy to see a bird.

Found not one, not two, but three! Hume’s Warblers with Dan Owen at Holmpton, East Yorkshire this morning, plus another later in the day further south. Quite an influx, hopefully some more on the cards tomorrow…

@JohnTolfree @BirdGuides It is for a Hume's warbler yes

@RobHolmes77 Glad to have contributed something this autumn and very surreal when Brian confirmed!

[Jake Gearty @Jake_Gearty]

Excellent picture from Brian Small of one of the Hume's Warbler from today. Thought I was proper stringing when I thought I heard two but pleasantly surprised when they both appeared together. Also Sibe Chiff nearby and a Mealy Redpoll at Kessingland last knockings, good few hrs!

@BEACHYBIRDER It does sound vaguely similar though!

[Jake Gearty @Jake_Gearty]

A very pleasant surprise to come across this singing Marsh warbler earlier on in the year. The bird sang throughout my time with it, often perching up just high enough to be heard but never fully out in the open. It didn't appear to find a mate and eventually moved on.

No Wasp is safe when a Nutcracker is hungry! Amazing to watch the Nutcracker for most the day feeding on various foods with a particular love for Wasps!

[Jake Gearty @Jake_Gearty]

@middy_birding Impressive how overexposed the bird is compared to everything else 😂

[Jake Gearty @Jake_Gearty]

@ClevedonMoths Considerably better than the two pics you've posted here 😂

[Jake Gearty @Jake_Gearty]

Returned recently from a trip to Kenya which wasn't specifically for birds but some really good birds were seen! Full trip report here - https://t.co/4dGSXJ6hs9 Highlights of Secretarybird, Carmine bee-eater, Pygmy falcon, Martial eagle, Somali ostritch and cat A Gyppo goose!

@BEACHYBIRDER @SussexBirding This bird photographed over Arly res (by Peter Denyer) at 11 today. Looks to be the same bird!
