Finally worked-up some Pec Sand sketches from a while ago at Frampton Marsh. One day I'll actually use paint again instead of a Bic biro...!

The Black-necked Grebe found yesterday by @LinfordBirder was always fairly distant this afternoon at Deeping Lakes (Main Lake), Lincs, but was a gripped-back PBC year tick nonetheless @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @Lincsbirding @lincsbirders

Another cracking Shetland Day with @paolobolton Always a great day finding Barred Wrblr, and today’s in Toab was no exception. Diverted via Tingwall and were treated to views of Corncrake. Pictured here in full-Road Runner mode Lesser Whitethroat and Red Grouse for the trip.

Unbelievable views today of an Otter near Sandness, Shetland. Watched down to 30ft away with @rgreasby whilst it devoured its catch. Also, Yellow-browed Warbler & Redstart nearby in Cruisdale (House) gardens, Melby at 1627hrs @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK #shetland

Superb days birding in Shetland today. Lanceolated & Pallas’s Grasshopper Warblers were superb, but finding this Golden Oriole with @rgreasby in a small plantation, 2 mins walk from our accommodation was the undoubted highlight @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK

Although very distant on the mudflats at Snettisham, unfortunately I think this is the Long-finned Pilot Whale, again in trouble sadly. A few hours to go till the high tide @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK

Another unsuccessful search for the first juvenile Caspian or YLG’s of the season at Tanholt, Cambs this morning, however numbers of Wall Brown butterflies were as high as I can recall @Natures_Voice #ukwildlife #nature #wildlife

Nice to find a Quail so close to home this morning. Conveniently right next to footpath rather than several hundreds yards out in the field! Had all but given up hope of seeing it (as usual) so packed optics away, picked up bike……then caught a glimpse of it! @CambsBirdClub

After the @GlobalBirdfair I went back to see the Etton Pits Stone Curlew and had amazing views. My third local area tick of the year and surely the local bird of the year... so far! @inlandseabirder @WeedonsWorld @jrmjones @paolobolton @BirdGuides @CambsBirdClub

Great to finally connect with a White-winged Scoter - the Stejneger’s Scoter that was refound yesterday afternoon at Musselburgh. Perfect timing for my visit to Edinburgh! @birdinglothian
