A great 1 night visit to Bach Ma, Vietnam with local guide, Luc Nyugen. Some good birds seen and lucky to get a view of these Yellow-cheeked Gibbons. (Best with sound on :) #vietnam #bach ma #Gibbons

A nice day out at Minsmere today, a good selection of birds and insects, this lovely male Red-backed Shrike was the highlight for me . @RSPBMinsmere

@AdrianBorley A bit surprised you haven’t caught up with one before in Northants or Norfolk. Just a matter of right time and place.

Pak Thale, Thailand, one of the world's best wader spots. Amazing for the sheer numbers and variety. After a bit of searching we found the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, with Great Knot, Red-necked Stints & Broad-billed Sandpiper. #waders #thailand #birding

@leslief80109983 Thanks, if it is a Sand Martin it would be a really interesting January record.

Back from a great weekend in Yorkshire. The Pallid Swift showed well at times 😀@FlamboroughBird. Also Red-headed Bunting, Two-barred, Dusky, Pallas's, Yellow-browed Warblers. Plenty of common migrants about, like this tired Goldcrest.

@loosemum @Britnatureguide @Natures_Voice Hi Sharon, lovely photos. 👍 The gull pictured is a young Black-headed. Gulls are quite a challenge! The white leading edge to the upper wing is a good id point for BHG. 😀

Well done to @Northampton_TC. Some patches of grass have been left un-mown and I spotted this pyramidal orchid growing in one small patch on the junction of Fullingdale/Dryland roads. #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune

With the warm weather I put the moth trap on for the 1st time this year (9/6/23) and caught a new one for our Northampton garden. A Toadflax Brocade. First recorded in Northants about 10 yrs ago but appears to be spreading. #mothsmatter
