When you are on holiday with @kfordbirder in the highlands of Scotland and stop the car to look at a Bullfinch, then look along the fence and find a Collared Flycatcher 😀

WOW 🤩 Northern Parula Warbler - Fair Isle today!

We had a fantastic surprise yesterday when a Nightjar 'churred' (their song) just before dawn. It soon graced one of our nets. This is the first Nightjar we have ever ringed in the Spring on the Salisbury Plain.

This gorgeous Thrush Nightingale was a lovely start to census. A right bugger to see, mostly skulking in dense bushes in the Setter garden. @FI_Obs

[Tom Wright @tom_wright16]

Wow! A Northern Parula @FI_Obs! A massive surprise when this stunner flicked over my shoulder and landed in front of me at Vaila's Trees. After being a bit mobile it thankfully settled down, showing well for everyone on the isle.

A very smart Temminck's Stint made census a bit more interesting today @NRonBirdObs

In Vinnytsia, Ukraine, a female stork was widowed when her mate died. She is incubating her eggs and is unable to feed herself.

Local residents have started feeding her.

A Grasshopper #Warbler nest perfectly concealed at the base of a tussock of grass, in a rough grassland field boundary.

Not what I expected this evening...........

Deep in a home county woodland this morning my friends and I came across a family of birds with 4 fresh and fluffy faces, anyone fancy guessing the species? (photos with the parents feeding to come later!)

We knew this would be a good breeding season for Barn Owls but.... The first brood we ringed this year was our largest ever, with an amazing EIGHT owlets!!!

With all the going’s on in London today, let’s take a brief moment to appreciate one of nature’s heroes.

A swan had a fishing hook stuck in its mouth so one man took it upon himself to fit it.

Thanks to Jeremy and his boat, we have managed to free the goslings from the raft.
A makeshift ramp has been installed until there is a better solution in place.

Another first for me- Nightingale nest. The eggs are as beautiful and unique as the song of the adults. Details forwarded to the BTO NRS as always 👍🏻

[Shaun Ferguson 🇿🇦🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @sferguk]

Also I love how 1 bird waits 4 the other 2 arrive before going up onto the nest cup to roost. Listen how they greet each other everytime they arrive to roost the night. It's not like they just spent the whole day out together.... (I lowered the mic vol by 50% and its crazy loud)

Thrush Nightingale, a newly returned bird, belting out song next to the car park at IKEA, Barkarby, in Stockholm City. A truly Swedish experience…

[The New Forest - Forestry England @EngNewForest]

We had a surprise visit to a #NewForest stream recently. This #Razorbill was recorded on a trail camera probably resting after some weather pushed it off course.

The Razorbill is a coastal seabird and would usually be found in marine or intertidal water.

One of the problems working on species recovery is when a landowner sends you a sighting of their first Turtle Dove in 3 years, my head explodes and i can't focus for the rest of the day. The best drug.
