13 Sept 2021 - Green Warbler, Albatross and Gannets at Bempton + White-tailed Plover!

Mark Thomas caught and ringed this fabulous Green Warbler - this brilliant picture by Paul Coombes, is a gazillion times better than most of us saw it in the field...it was elusive, to put it mildly.  

also at Bempton was the fabulous Black-browed Albatross...

And on the way home, the White-tailed Plover was an amazing third grade a rarity of the day!

23 August 2021 - Glossy Ibis at Porth Hellick, St Marys, IOS

I didn't expect to be cleaning Glosssy Ibis wings and tail when I entered the Stephen Sussex hide at Porthellick...but that's Scilly birds for you. Great work by the local lads getting the bird back out within minutes - nice one!

19 June 2021 - Dainty Damselfly walk at SBBOT

A great trip to Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory to see the Dainty Damselflies that were discovered there last year. I missed this species in north Kent a few years previously, so this was a very welcome opportunity to catch up with this little, and probably overlooked, gem.

Also on site was a great |Red-veined Darter and a Scarce Chaser - a great day!

28 March 2021 - Walrus at Tenby, Wales

WALRUS!!!  I travelled solo overnight to be in Tenby at dawn... Clambering out of the truck, the news was positive - the Walrus was still present! Its incredible to think I've seen a Walrus in UK waters.
