Swiiiiiiiiiift!!! A frustratingly brief glimpse over Vicar's Lane around 7pm, then thankfully managed to relocate it about 45 mins later feeding around the church in the fading light. #YearTick

A proper “record shot”! None of this frame filling pin sharp “only got a record shot” nonsense. Pectoral Sandpiper River Clwyd Wales this afternoon. Scope views were better honestly. #birding #birdwatching #birds #yeartick
Oh yes the Red-crested Pochard, what a beauty that was! Totally at home in the 30c temperatures! #yuck #yeartick
Treecreeper. Spithandle Lane, Steyning. #Yeartick
Merlin has picked up a Hawfinch at the end of the garden two days in a row now and I'm wondering do I have to stand down there for the whole weekend until I see it (or until I see what Merlin thinks is it)?

#52 Blackcap calling this morning, otherwise fairly quiet in the garden. Peace literally disturbed this afternoon by a noisier than usual plane. Just managed to catch it before it got swallowed by the clouds. #yeartick U-2 Dragonlady #AvGeek
Eerie! Just discussing Quail with @Sacha_Ecology when, a few minutes later, we inadvertently spook one from a barley field! #yeartick
