Some #SideProfiles from this year‘s birdwalks with my #digiscope.

En nog een filmpje:

We waren bij de Nieuwe Driemanspolder bij Zoetermeer en zagen kleine zilverreiger, pijlstaart, bergeenden, lepelaars en honderden kieviten die als uitspattend vuurwerk in het zonlicht vlogen 💛

Zoomed in on the Copernicus crater. #lunar #moon #🌓 #copernicus #crater #astrophotography #digiscope
Tonight’s 66% moon. #moon #🌓 #lunar #photography #copernicus #crater #digiscope
Parked next to Salthouse Marshes last night only for 6 Glossy Ibis to be in the field next door this morning 😁. #digiscope
An early morning journey and first time visit to Rutland Waters for an incredibly close up view of a young Baird’s Sandpiper. Initially chose the wrong side to look for it but eventually caught up with it through the fog on the peninsula. @birdguides.bsky.social #digiscope
Not much birding for me this summer/Autumn so far. But nice this week to catch up with passing migrants. Whinchats are always a favourite to see. #ukbirds #birds #digiscope #wildlife #migration #photography. 📷 #iphone16pro 🔭 #kowa883
A morning walk to local woodland where there has a been a recent eruption of Common Crossbill. Over 200 birds in the Larch forest with some fab views of their intricate bill work. #digiscope #ukbirds #ukwildlife #woodlands
Local Sand Martin nest holes still active. 😊 #digiscope #nature #ukbirds
Bit of #digiscope 🎥 from this AM’s Balearic Shearwater. As a bit of a seawatch novice I was 😬 one might flyby without me being able to pick it out. But, as it happen compared to Manxies it had a notably stockier structure, extended legs and differential plumage 😁. @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
Bit more territorial SpotFly action yesterday. Great to see at close quarters. 🙂 #ukbirds #digiscope #iphone16pro #kowa883
Digiscoped video of the showy Grasshopper Warbler from Cossington Meadows LRWT a few days ago! My digiscoped set up is a Kowa 883 scope (25-60 zoom), phoneskope case and ring and IPhone 12 #ukbirding #vc55birds #birdinggear #digiscope @lrosbirds.bsky.social
Nice morning birding my Lochwinnoch patch. Highlights pair of Garganey, 5 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 LRPs, single redshank and common sandpiper @clydesoc-grapevine.bsky.social #birdingscotland #digiscope
X-rated #ukbirding 🫣. #digiscope 🎥 #iphone16pro 🔭 #kowa883
A fascinating feeding strategy/observation yesterday. This male LSW was systematically removing Wood Ants from the top of an Oak tree in order to get to the aphids they were presumably protecting. Bsky video rendering doesn’t quite do it justice. @lesserspotnet.bsky.social #digiscope #birdsuk
Managed to bird my Lochwinnoch patch first thing and last thing. Highlight Lesser Scaup, a peregrine (a patch year tick), watching a Raven enjoying the dead Canada goose on the scrape. Catch up with Smew on a quick visit Broadwood Loch on way to work. #clydebirding #digiscope
March 2025 🙂. In woodland in south east England. Not frequent enough experience to see and hear 😔 #digiscope
Woodland surveys produced four Lesser Spotted woodpeckers (likely two territories) and 7 Firecrest. Almost felt like spring 🙂. #digiscope #iphone16pro @lesserspotnet.bsky.social
Full days birding my Lochwinnoch patch. Highlights a distant Lesser Scaup on Barr Loch, GWE on Barr Loch, PB Brent goose on Castle Semple and white colour ringed BH Gull on a misty scrapes first light #clydebirding #birdingscotland #digiscope
A close up image of the Moon with well defined crater rims and shadows
First digiscope image with the ILK 72x100 handed down by my father in law. Handheld phone, provided tripod sucks. Pretty happy with the result.

WTE at #LMGP unconfirmed origin bird is rung. #ukbirds #digiscope #bucksbirdalert
The crescent shape of Venus last night was 🤯 🌙 #digiscope
A County Life Tick, Richard’s Pipit. Surely it’s a wintering bird in Newport Pagnell. Favouring the common land and adjacent paddocks. #digiscope #ukbirds #bucksbirdalert
Birded my Lochwinnoch patch today highlight include an otter on Barr Loch, a distant GWE on Aird Meadow along with all the usual wildfowl and woodlands birds and lots of Snowdrops. #Clydebirding

Morning of birding my patch. The 1st winter pale-bellied Brent Goose roosted again on the scrape at Lochwinnoch departing NW at 8:18am. A single curlew also roosted and 2 shelduck briefly dropped in #clydebirding #birdingscotland #digiscope #lochwinnoch
Birding moment of the year so far! Day time Barn Owl action #digiscope #ukbirding
A surprise this afternoon while walking my local fields. Fabulous views but I hope it finds the food I clearly needs. #ukbirding #digiscope
The 3CY Caspian Gull was back strutting its stuff in front of the viewing point at LMGP this evening! #digiscope #ukbirding #gullswp
