Another night, another human gazing up at me. I've been here for eons, silently watching as civilizations rise and fall. Yet, you still find me fascinating. How quaint. #Moon #Space #TimelessWonder
Vivid red clouds lit by the rising sun, over a dark skyline of forestry plantations and pylons
Magical sky this morning in West Lothian as the first of nearly 700 Pinks migrated north. Flocks on the move across the country today, gets earlier every year ๐ข #sunrise #migration #timelesswonder
At 1605, 5 Blackbirds spiralled up out of gardens on the western fringe of Grimsby and headed off high west. Then another 8, then 11... By 1640 I'd counted ๐ฅ328๐ฅ๐ #blackmagic ๐ค #vismig #timelesswonder #ukbirding
Moonset last night as the epic #aurora "faded away" ๐ณ and a couple of Arctic-bound Whimbrel called from the darkness. Just wondrous ๐ #timelesswonder #migration #nocmig
Overnight Otter tracks and the hole he made in the ice! #timelesswonder #winterwonderland #winterwatch
Back on the Severn/Vyrnwy floodplain today, and still 1,050+ Pintail packed into the few remaining flooded fields ๐ฒ Also a Knot & 19 Dunlin wheeling about amongst 900+ Lapwing, and 34 Whoopers https://ebird.org/checklist/S158700071 #timelesswonder #floodwatch
The annual autumn surge of LBBGs reached a staggering total of 8,500 at The Mere, Ellesmere this evening - must be one of the largest gatherings in the country? Also ad & 1cy #CaspianGull and 15+YLGs #lovegulls #timelesswonder
2 Merlins, juv Hobby, Green Sand, Corn Bunting & 13 westbound Snipe were among the highlights of a 61 spp day at #salopobs ๐ #loveautumn #migration #timelesswonder https://ebird.org/checklist/S151355185
All wings and wonder. Fewer Swallows about this morning, and those left in the #salopobs Oak sound excited, not nervous #migration #timelesswonder #loveautumn
Middle of the night, middle of July, middle of Shropshire and a Dunlin flies south over the light of the mothtrap. Surely a schinzii on its way to West Africa for the winter #nocmig #migration #timelesswonder
How stunning is this?! Some of the 400+ Whooper Swans that flew north over a friend walking in the Lakes near Ambleside today. Safe travels! #vismig #timelesswonder
The joyous sight of 108 Whooper Swans joined me northbound on the M18 at Armthorpe @DonnyBirding at 1910. Great to be part of today's huge movement, and on the same day as my first Swallow at home in @sosbirding #vismig #timelesswonder ๐ฆข
Islay tick! Gorgeous Russian Whitefront with the Greenfronts at Corsapol & Richardson's Cackler with the Barnies there. RBG on Gruinart Flats, the juv Glauc at Uiskentuie and eagles everywhere #Islay #timelesswonder
The kids and I spent some time seeing the unseen down in the wood this afternoon. Just magical #woodcock #salopobs #timelesswonder #thermalbirding
Heart-in-mouth moment early this morning when this juv Gos cruised over the fields behind #salopobs ๐ #mega #timelesswonder @sosbirding @BTO_Shropshire @JABBIRDART
Blue sky honking ๐ 29 Whoopers just flew NW over #GooleFields
#vismig #migration #timelesswonder
I was treated to a real show today, absolutely fantastic ๐ #cranes #timelesswonder #365dayswild
Albatrosses aren't all about wings, they're mostly beak and feet! Still smiling after yesterday evening's encounter @Bempton_Cliffs ๐
#happydays #timelesswonder
#skybluePinks... 139 Pinkfeet flew north over the Clyde this morning on their way to Iceland, whilst new-in Redstart and Wheatears hopped about below, and the world kept on turning #timelesswonder #vismig
Four species of thrush recorded migrating over #salopobs last night, mostly Redwings, and at dusk this evening small groups of Fieldfares spiralled up to set off again
#vismig #nocmig #timelesswonder
(Black)bird of the day. Amongst a mediocre passage of Redwings (1415) & Fieldfares (1220) through central D&G today, 64 of these black beauties headed north in little flocks
#vismig #blackmagic #timelesswonder
12,415 Pink-footed Geese flew over the Moffat Hills 7am-4pm. A fine day in Iceland yday, followed by clear skies and a tailwind, meant it was always going to be good, but wow! #vismig #migration #timelesswonder
Caught up with @stevepercival63's Todd's this evng at #LochGruinart RSPB amongst a staggering 30,000 Barnies
#timelesswonder #needlehaystack
They only arrived yesterday, but just heard my first Redwings of the autumn going over Haverigg @cumbriabirds #migration #timelesswonder
39 #Pinkfeet just flew high inland at #SouthGare @clevelandbirds @RareBirdAlertUK #TimelessWonder #migration
Last 2hrs of the day near Longtown @cumbriabirds watching Barnacle Goose #migration: 7,560 headed off NE, next stop Norway #TimelessWonder
