sorry, I’ve left - find me on facebook, threads or bluesky

@fred_fearn It’s desperate as a follow lots of genuine decent people/accounts (CAWOS / RFU / etc) and I will miss them but the rest of the nonsense on here isn’t worth it.
I've started a Threads account, perhaps I’ll look into bluesky too

[Mike Crawley @Mike_Crawley]

@LucyMcRobert1 @WiseBirding Probably a comment that should be added to the thread on bird forum as well as one here. It mirrors other comments and would add to the pool of knowledge

@bo66ie29 I had a red Morris 1100, surprisingly spacious inside given its overall size

Looking to give away my trusty Lieca BA 8 x 32. Ideally to a young birder starting out.. Good condition. Focus wheel needs some WD40 😉 Re tweets appreciated. DM for details..

@GPCbirding I was on the boat on the 15th August 1993

I fondly recall a famous birder sitting on the outside steps at the stern swigging vodka from the bottle and eating Stilton

Acceptable views of a Wilson’s Petrel but nothing like watching one dance its way up Sapphire’s wake though

Come down & say hello @Ness_Gardens today where I’ll be representing @hilbrebirdobs assisting @MerseysideRG with a bird ringing demo:

Certainly wasn't expecting to see a Hudsonian Godwit when I woke up this morning.

Great find by Colin Wells. 5th for UK?
Left before it decided to have a jaunt over the border, so not on the Welsh list :-(

Not a bad way to end a long weekend

I was lucky to see the @RSPB_BurtonMere Hudsonian Godwit before it flew out to the estuary, better views than the Somerset bird despite the rain. Great find by Colin Wells, hopefully it will reappear this evening 🤞

[Sean O'Hara @SeanOHa19117792]

Hudsonian Godwit…….a great find by the legendary Colin Wells yesterday evening @ RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands. So glad it reappeared today. Noticeably smaller and darker when picking it out in the Godwit flock. A stunner!

[Mike Crawley @Mike_Crawley]

@AhughPulsford nice Hugh, must have missed you by a few minutes

[Mike Crawley @Mike_Crawley]

@SeanOHa19117792 @CAWOSBirding very nice, Sean

Awesome views of the #StKilda American Cliff Swallow continue today 😍
Flying around a localised patch near the Manse in gale force winds, often settling for a rest on the grass or on rocks. @HebridesBirds @BirdGuides @rbnUK
