Western Reef Heron - Absolutely awesome bird and 1st for Britain & Ireland. Not often there’s such a good bird on your doorstep

Showed well whilst it was following the shoreline this morning 😍

Near-stationary supercell thunderstorm over Swanton NE on Friday evening 🌩️

[Elmley NNR @ElmleyNNR]

A few sharp thundery showers yesterday but most pass the reserve by, but with the big skies here at Elmley it’s a great place for storm watching. This storm was north over the Essex coast, lots of lightning and awesome cloud formation.

A Sedge Warbler wasn’t very happy with this Cuckoo turning up in its territory.

Finding this dark morph Honey Buzzard in a garden in Levenwick back on 25/05 was a bit of a surprise, a stunning bird to see up close! It was sporting some serious tail damage and taking a battering from the local Hoodies.🤞it reached its destination.

And this is what all the fuss is about, Trumpeter Finch Saltee Island Co Wexford this evening. Finder @JimDowdall

Pleased to bump into this bonny male Rustic Bunting feeding on bugs in the Walli burn @FI_Obs this morning. Top class birds !

A few of a spectacular 3000+ grey plover at Snettisham last week. One of the best waders IMO

[Dungeness Bird Observatory @DungenessBO]

An excellent day, with the main highlight being the first Observatory record of Greenish Warbler since 1995 with a male showing and singing well in the Trapping Area for most of the day. Click this link to listen to nearly seven minutes of songs and calls: https://t.co/MSB8vhwpxX

There has been a strong showing of wood sandpipers at Cley, with 4-6 birds daily from late April to mid May. The reflections from a nearby rape field caught my eye with this bird one evening

[David Carr @birdphotos007]

The Grey Phalarope at Wombwell Ings on Wednesday evening was quite a stunner! Not often you see one in summer plumage in the UK.

‘Marsh Harrier male, Arnold’s Marsh’

acrylic, 44 x 34 cms.

A male Marsh Harrier flies over Arnold’s Marsh, mobbed by some of the resident Avocets and Lapwings. The Marsh lies between the villages of Cley-next-the Sea and Salthouse on the North Norfolk coast.

Tundra ringed plovers and a stunning summer turnstone at Cley today

[Hugh Harrop Wildlife @HughHarrop]

A magical morning at Sumburgh Head, Shetland. Super views of a mobile and vocal Red-throated Pipit found by Roger Riddington and as we watched it, a look out to sea revealed a fabulous pod of Risso's Dolphins!

Marsh Harrier food pass. Top day birding with my big brother.

Aquatic Warblers are back to Biebrza Marshes!
As it's dry, the birds gather in damp spots; here, this male was singing alongside eleven (!) others in a small patch of sedge marsh (on the area of < than a square km). I visit this site regularly & they were never so abundant there.

Spotted Crake in display at Hjalstaviken in Sweden in the inky blackness of night. Such a special sound….

Savi’sWarbler reeling at first light this morning at Hjalstaviken in Sweden. Stunning, point blank views. This bird sang all night without stopping, an incredible feat of physical endurance…
