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 ๐คฏ My Nยฐ1 birding highlight in my life full stop!!!!!!
@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!
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!
@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
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!!
@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
