Went into Hecho Valley today with the hope of hopefully getting a glimpse of a Wallcreeper, we only had this male down to about 20 foot away for over 45 minutes, singing and catching food,preening. Mind absolutely blown 🤯 My N°1 birding highlight in my life full stop!!!!!!

@WhitleyBirder Ha, you should probably get a bit of rest soon tho before the seawatching starts

[David dack @Davedack81]

@onemantess @JontyWilliams74 Absolutely Paul

@andymould10 Another poor showing of Spring passerines this year, although the next 10 days throws the rares up, as you know fine well after the last few years up there!

[David dack @Davedack81]

I went a few weeks later than normal and the valleys were full of Red Backed Shrike's, one of my favourite birds!

[David dack @Davedack81]

The number of raptors in the Spanish Pyrenees is astonishing, every day sky's filled with Griffons, Egyptian, Lammergeier, Eagles, Buzzards and quite often they showed very well too like this Griffon Vulture!

[David dack @Davedack81]

Just back from a week in spanish pyrenees, on the last day I stumbled across this Iberian Green Woodpecker chick, not long out the nest I think!

Dotterel on the beach at Newbiggin tonight, superb views!!

[David dack @Davedack81]

Dotterel showing very well on the beach tonight at Newbiggin, awesome birds!!

@onemantess I've looked for 3 days in Pyrenees and failed for this species

[David dack @Davedack81]

@onemantess @JontyWilliams74 @andymould10 Nah definitely not Bonelli's, they have a very distinct wing shape alongside being very pale underneath, been watching them in Pyrenees just the other day, they are very distinct

[David dack @Davedack81]

In Spanish Pyrenees in Hecho Valley and picked this Spanish Moon Moth up on the side of the road, what a stunning creature!!

[David dack @Davedack81]

@onemantess Definitely Honey Buzzard

[David dack @Davedack81]

Hopefully a long tail skua or 2 down the North Sea on Thurs/Fri!

[David dack @Davedack81]

Out at 4am for a summer big day out in Northumberland, 133 species later and totally knackered! Some belters too, Black Guillemot, Common Crane, 2x Ospreys, Wood Sand, Spotshank. Missed loads tho, 145 was possible!!

[David dack @Davedack81]

Common Crane showing well this afternoon at Widdrington Moor Lake!

[David dack @Davedack81]

@cjhhhh21 So true, if we had a ball playing keeper our back 4 would be calmer and looks a lot more confident team, after this season Pope and Ramsdale must never be near the 1st team again
