@Bucktonbirder @0nthewr0ngway And the same to you!

@miles_cluff Fantastic photos of a terrific bird, Miles. I won’t embarrass you by posting my iPhone / scope grab from Monday’s gale strewn morning.

[steve kent @swkpg]

@WiseBirding That is one of the finest ornithological photographs I’ve ever seen! A Dunlin with delusions of grandeur, and who doesn’t love a Bar-tailed Godwit dressed for Summer.

@MarcusW992 @Letfordj27 @kristianwade_ Is this you?

[steve kent @swkpg]

@AlanDaviesbirds @marcbuzzard Wasn’t shy either!

⁦@AlanDaviesbirds⁩ ⁦@marcbuzzard⁩ Hi guys. Holiday bird help needed!? Single Golden Plover in Northumberland (Holy Island). No white below neck / upper chest. Possible American?

@marcbuzzard @AlanDaviesbirds Changed my mind about the Dunbar Steppe Grey Shrike! @AlanDaviesbirds

[steve kent @swkpg]

@marcbuzzard @AlanDaviesbirds Thanks Marc. It was a bit distant, into the sun and iPhone/ bins shot, so not much to go on. Hint of colour, but it is a lovely sunny day, so Grey P seems the most likely. Benefitting from some good weather, but struggling for time to get up to Dunbar for the Steppe Shrike!

@AndrewGalley @OffasDykePath 👍

@PhilWoollen Similar situation here in N Wales!

[steve kent @swkpg]

That looks rather like an egg!

We’ve probably had better days out, but it’s difficult to remember when. Thanks to ⁦@donaldmccain⁩ ⁦@theojgillard⁩ ⁦@LudlowRaceClub and, of course, Rossy⁩ for a real racing highlight

@ukhousemartins Lucky enough to have nesting Swift pair (plus up to 5 screamers), 3 pairs nesting H Martins (down from annual average of 8 pairs) and 2 pairs of Swallows, all on the same house or in outbuildings. Not counting the 6 pairs of House Sparrows, 4 of which are in Swift nest boxes.

@DylanMEdwards1 @BrittenKit @asianbirder @EDWINA70016123 @dafyddeds19 You look a proper bugger in that kit, Dylan, as my grandfather would have said. Looks like a great trip, though. No endemics in Minera Quarry this morning!

@metoffice @ianhook66 Dancing hawthorn in North Wales!

@LizzieHelenMay That’s a barn - with a shed extension!

@WTKJockey All the very best, Will. Good days with Viserion!
