Any excuse to get the coloured pencils out - some notes on the ageing and sexing of the juvenile Garganey

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

WOOLSTON EYES – Cover for the 2024 Annual Report, should be hitting members ‘in boxes’ in the near future, watercolour on Arches paper, a prolific year for Yellow-browed Warblers at the site, prompted me to use this species as its one that may not turn up in the future.

No. What happens in Doñana DOES NOT STAY in Doñana.

After more than two years of work, we’ve published an article demonstrating that the poor condition of Doñana negatively affects waterbirds across the ENTIRE continent!

Olive-backed Pipit is a species I have wanted to see for a very long time, having only seen probable flyovers and dipped on Scilly previously. My luck changed when one was found only 5 minutes away, a quick dash and dream views were secured!

Heading back to London after a crazy few days on the Yorkshire Coast. So pleased to have connected with the Pale-legged Leaf Warbler before its departure. Nice to get some absolutely mega views and see so many familiar faces.

[Henry Wyn-Jones @henrywynjones]

After a mental day twitching on Wednesday (pics to follow) it was nice to get some birding in with a walk up Spurn. Unfortunately couldn’t quite pull out our own mega but fantastic views of Arctic Warbler made it worthwhile.

Dream day!

Two burns checked: one with Lanceolated Warbler in it and another with Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler in it.

With @DanBeadle5 and Jack Morris (JM pics).

Won't have many better days of bird finding than the Lanceolated and Pallas's Grasshopper Warblers @_danielowen Jack Morris and I found on Shetland today. Couldn't really ask for much better views of the Lancy, or the PGW as it fed in the burn! Pics JM

My first ever day on Shetland surpassed even my most optimistic expectations. Weather was glorious, & with @OrioleBirding @GaryElts we saw Pallas’s Grasshopper, Lanceolated & Barred Warblers, Corncrake, Red-breasted Flycatcher etc. Great finds @_danielowen @DanBeadle5 Jack Morris

Seeing the record 105 Wilson's Storm Petrel on 4th August @Scillypelagics was the clear highlight of recent trip to Scilly/Cornwall for me - hard to do the spectacle justice in photos
