Pheasants. Having seen only a fem. Monal back in 1991 whilst on Jomson trek in Nepal- I felt I had unfinished business. So delighted to see 8 birds- mainly males,near Tawang. Also wanted to see a Tragopan, so ecstatic to see Satyr and Blyths. Beautiful nuthatch and Myzornis also excellent.

Wow. That sounds epic and pioneering work. You’ll probably find things have moved on since then

Hi Tim. Yes. Superb

Recently back from a superb trip to NEIndia. There has been a lot of changes since my first visit to India in 1984- and the birding remains high quality 😁

High Arctic meets The Mediterranean-on a Norfolk potato field today! The two best gulls in the world, side by side. Wow!

Nice one👍

Yesterday I saw one of these. Aranachal Pradesh, NE India

It’s been a good winter for Jack Snipe at Cley NWT, with a bird favouring the cut reeds near Bishop’s Hide.However, seeing them is a different matter !

Nice Crane this morning in fields above Cley NWT

Nice

Thanks for your kind words Tim👍

The Hickling Black- winged Kite was pretty reliable over the Brograve Levels throughout most of January. I managed to catch up with it on a rare sunny day in January

Thanks Tim. Nice to catch up yesterday 😊

Cranes getting vocal at Hickling

Caught up with the Iceland Gull that’s been at Sea Palling the last count of weeks

Good to catch up with you yesterday 👍

Great photo

More Brent on an Essex saltmarsh, Leigh- on-Sea

I don’t often see black- necked grebes so was pleased to see 4 together whilst visiting family in Essex -although not the 7 reported here recently.

Jack snipe have been showing well from Bishop’s hide at Cley NWT this autumn. Great to eventually catch up with one today and spent an enjoyable morning sketching it along with 6 water pipits that dropped in. Quality!

Brent geese feeding on spring tide. Two-tree Is. Essex

Young shelduck and godwits, Bishop’s Hide, Cley, late August

The 2 pec sands at Salthouse eventually gave themselves up, after staying hidden amongst reeds and vegetation for long periods

Up to 6 Caspian gulls still being seen at Cromer

Thanks Mike

Very nice👍

Black-winged kite, Hickling. Second record in 2 years-?returning bird?

Great work Russ👍
