"The narrator reminds me of a young Chris Packham, watching the songbirds through his binoculars.”This Amazon review has made my day! #TheSongbirdArmy is often picked by birdwatchers looking for stories to share with their children.

I don’t stream, so I don’t have a year-end wrap up. Closest thing I have is the report from my smart feeder.

A close-up shot of a Hooded vulture. It’s mainly brown with white legs. It has bare pink skin on the front of its neck and face. The back of its neck and its crown are white. It has a hooked bill and blue eyes.
Surprisingly, the Hooded #vulture is #endangered so it’s nice that we have our own resident vultures. This one likes to sit on the roof of our house.

Great to bump into the amiable and knowledgeable Hornsea Mere stalwart Jon Lamplough, at S Landing. Very kind of him to give me a lift to Brid station #birdingcommunity

A large crow is calling from a palm tree trunk. Its bill is open. It is all black except for a white band around its shoulders and belly.
It’s hard to believe how loudly the Pied Crows can call until you’ve heard them. They are incredibly noisy! 😳

A medium-sized bird is perched on a fence post. It has its back to the camera but is looking over its right shoulder. It has glossy blue plumage on its back with a purple head and rump. It has yellow eyes.
All #Gambian glossy starlings have stunning colours. This Purple Glossy Starling is demonstrating why it’s called ‘glossy’. 😉

A medium-sized bird is standing on the edge of a bird pool. It has red underparts, black wings and tail and a white crown. A slim snake is approaching the pool.
The head of a slim snake. The top of its head and body are darker brown while its underside is cream. It has a narrow black stripe through its eye and down its side.
I was so busy trying to photograph the White-crowned Robinchat that at first I didn’t even notice the African Beauty snake photobombing in front of it! 🤣

🪶 Flycatcher in Focus: A Moment of Stillness in Nature Every once in a while, you’re lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time—and today was one of those moments. This beautiful little flycatcher paused just long enough for me to capture its portrait. With its alert posture and delicate features, it seemed to pose naturally against the soft background of the forest, giving me the perfect chance to snap this photo. Photographing birds like this is never guaranteed—they’re quick, elusive, and often hidden among the branches. But when you get that one clear shot, it’s an incredible feeling. I’m grateful for this encounter and the chance to share it with all of you. 📸 Captured with my Canon gear for crisp detail and true-to-life colors.

📸 Just posted a new image of a beautiful little flycatcher that gave me a rare moment to capture it perfectly perched and in focus. These are the kinds of fleeting encounters I love sharing from the wild. #BirdPhotography #Flycatcher #NaturePhotography #WildlifeShot #BirdingCommunity #birdwatcher

Four medium-sized birds are perched around a clay drinking bowl, one clinging to an upright stick. They are brown grey heads and orange eyes.
Getting a bit crowded around the bird bowl when the Brown Babblers descend in force!

Two pigeons are perched on the rim of a clay drinking bowl. They have maroon backs with white speckles. Their underparts are grey and their necks are grey with red stripes. Their heads are grey with a bright red eye patch.
Speckled Pigeons often nest in our roof space, which can be annoying when they make a racket early in the morning! But they’re so beautiful it’s difficult to be too frustrated.
