An extremely yellow warbler perches on a shepherds hook and leans away from the camera, looking at something below. This bird looks like a lemon with wings and a beak.
Merlin says yellow warblers are common in my area, but I've only spotted them twice—a single bird, in two different years. Here's last year's yellow warbler for the #Birdoftheday themes #warblers and #rarebirds! 🪶
Dark-bellied Brent Goose with darker flanks than the more usual (in Ireland) Light-bellied subspecies
A rare winter visitor to Ireland from its nesting grounds in Siberia, the Dark-Bellied subspecies of Brent Goose - feeding with a flock of its Light-bellied cousins at Pilmore Co. Cork today. #Birds #RareBirds #BirdsSeenIn2026
This drake Lesser Scaup was at nearby College Lake and a first for Buckinghamshire. It showed well all day and kept everyone happy as it has been a long wait for one.

On the 3rd of November 2022 just over a year on from finding greater yellowlegs, I was lucky enough to find a lesser yellowlegs at #RSPB Strathbeg. It showed for a short period then flew onto the back pools where is stayed for a few days. I do terrible photos very well! #Rarebirds #BirdingScotland
The Great-tailed Grackle did its best to overshadow the distant views of the Killdeer that myself & @corpustydickie.bsky.social enjoyed this morning in Hampshire @birdguides.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social #ukbirds #rarebirds

#birdoftheday theme is #poise, which I think the #rare Eastern Black Redstart in #Norfolk has bucket loads of.

I returned to Melbourne from Flinders Island yesterday and missed the visit of this swift parrot. Don't know if it's the same bird we saw there in June but pretty nice to have around! #rarebirds #birds #Australianbirds #parrots #Tasmanianbirds

On 30th April 2022 I found a red rumped swallow at #RSPB strathbeg. It vanished for a time but then 2 appeared. The photo is by Mike Chandler. Someone asked me if I was sure if was a RRS - pretty sure 😉. The only one I’ve ever found. Spring at its best!
