Pale-legged Leaf Warbler - real treat to see this rare eastern vagrant. Pleased to get some really good views and to hear it calling. Thanks to @AshBanwell for convincing me that joining him was a sensible thing to do... Not too many people on Sunday & really enjoyable experience

[Jo Hood @Jo_birding]

What an amazing eastern gem!! Pale-legged Leaf Warbler - not a bird I ever expected to see 10 minutes from home. Huge kudos to @andyhood75 for finding and @ScratchTrev for pinning down the ID, not to mention the twitch management from all the amazing staff @Bempton_Cliffs

To answer the question I got a couple times on if the red-footed falcon caught the dragonfly, safe to say it did! @ElmleyNNR

"Feral pigeons as a new threat to seabirds."

Airam Rodríguez @Airam_Rguez informs us that pigeon competition for nests was the most frequent cause of breeding failure (7.3%) in Bulwer's petrels.

Sometimes you just have one of those days... I was lucky to be leading Monday's @YCNature wildlife adventure when all hell broke loose about five nautical miles off the North Yorks coast. Here's those seven incredible hours distilled into a few minutes: https://t.co/K1aeCnkd6d

Massive moulting flock of Shelduck at Pyewipe on the Humber estuary this morning kept my clicker finger busy - 9640 counted - internationally important numbers and over 20% of UK non-breeding population #eastcoastwetlands @humbernature @Lincsbirding
