@MJLbirder Brilliant stuff Marcus, I'm hoping Sunderland can replicate next season. By the way how much does your son look like the young Marcus I remember from the 80's.

@dogdoughty @iancbeavis It niggles me that I was in Arizona when the GBH was on Scilly!🤣

@rstephenson08 @kevstead7 Brilliant find that mate❤️

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@01000011S It's a beauty🤣

If you didn't watch it, rewind iPlayer and see an amazing rendition of Bohemian rhapsody on The Last Night of The Proms. ❤️The Proms

@ClevedonMoths Looks so different to all the other Grey, black, Antwrens I've seen with white wing bars and supercilium 😉

@Ashley_Howe1990 Fabulous image👍

This Eared Pitta in Khao Yai NP, Thailand was the crowning glory of a birding lifetime. Where do I go from here........

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@ClevedonMoths Probably would agree with all of the lumps, it reminds me of my days in the office. Someone had to reinvent the wheel every 4 years to justify their existence. I'm not qualified to know what a species should be but at least proposals should be peer reviewed, IOC a free-for-all 🤷

@BMcCloskey_98 @BirdGuides Nails are for losers🤣

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

Half a Eared Pitta, before I screw it up! Pencil on paper.

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@DaleHornsea I'll swap every bird I've seen on my local patch for that.........

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@sidwemn Hi Martin, I had heard you had been poorly, so glad you are on the mend. Take care and keep positive👍

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@Vaasetter 🤣❤️

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@GavinMaclean3 Hi Gavin, it's a well known spot. A small municipal park north of Phuket in Thailand, easily found on ebird👍

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

Back home from a successful mop up trip to Thailand, Malaysia, Sabah and Cambodia. A couple of highlights, Spotted Wood Owl, White Fronted Scops Owl and Nicobar Pigeon. 2 Barn Swallows at my local patch, Castle Lake this PM. Spring!

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@Vaasetter What a bird and what a twitch, Dawn and I were only talking about this the other day. Still the best bird I've ever seen in Britain. I know what's on the British list and what I may see in the future but this will never be beaten❤️

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

@ClevedonMoths Cheers Paul, just took the 8 days but got there in the end. Amazing views today, that's me done for this trip. Enjoy the rest of yours.

[Malcolm Roxby @roxby_malcolm]

There were only ever 2 new birds available for me in Khao Yai and today, day 8 I finally saw the last one, Coral Billed Ground Cuckoo. No photo so here's a funky Gibon to cheer your weekend 👍
