After a month of research in #Porcupinebank on board #VizcondedeEza in the wild waters west of #Ireland, we're finally at home! The most amazing #seabird sighting was a South Polar skua! @rspb.bsky.social @irishbirds.bsky.social @ieo-cadiz.bsky.social Ireland waters are always a box of surprises!

Anyone have an opinion on greater or lesser scaup? I have both represented in my list. Would love feedback. #birdID #birding #birdphotography

I was glad to see the 2 Taiga Bean Geese last week at Dooey in West Donegal. Having managed brief views of 1 of the 9 Taiga's that had been at Inch, it was a great opportunity to be able to take in the structure and details. A Pink-footed sleeping in a roadside field made for a much better subject.

And here it is! This glorious flight shot was taken by Mike Edgecombe @mikee100.bsky.social as the Pallid Swift whizzed below the two of us along the undercliff at West Runton this afternoon. A gorgeous subtle bird & so instructive too.

The End of the Pier show... ...y'day's shopping/recycling trip coincided w/rain & a double bill of Swift sp. at West Runton. Today a lone bird (new?) was found there by Simon Chidwick & this one was a doozy of a Pallid, looked ace along the undercliff... @linnetincley.bsky.social #NorfolkBirding 1/2

...and that bird of the day was... Baltic Gull ~ an outrageously black-backed adult with minimal mirrors, an almost cachinnans-vibe around the head, a colour tone like nothing else on the scrapes, a brown wash on the tertials, bright bare parts... @linnetincley.bsky.social #NorfolkBirding 1/3

Boom! All the 'red-tailed shrikes' done in Suffolk this year with Isabelline Shrike at N Warren this afternoon. Made sweeter as it is a grip back for me too, having missed the previous birds. No matter what anyone says to me, I can't see such pale birds not being isabellinus

#birdID nice 1st Winter variation in Caspian Gull
The White Falcon@markgolley.bsky.social
Absolutely loved seeing these two 1st winter Caspian Gulls together tonight on the North. For all the cachinnans I've seen here over the last 30 years, I don't often see Caspo side-by-side, so this was a real Larid treat. Love it! @linnetincley.bsky.social #NorfolkBirding #cleybirds 1/2

Much is sometimes made of not being able to accurately judge size and structure when it comes to Goshawk and Sparrowhawk.
This is the reality.

If you ever wanted to know if Goshawk and Sparrowhawk are identifiable in just size and gizz....now you know. 😂😍 #birds #raptors #birding #finland

Can you identify these birds from their silhouettes?
Hint: Fall, Pacific Northwest

Exactly the kind of post that could make #BirdID a magnificent feed everyone could benefit from.
Just need the birders to structure their posts like this if they can think that way.

LESSER KESTREL on #StKilda! Retrospectively identified from Will Miles' excellent images on 16th Sept. We'd recorded a Kestrel from 12th, possibly the same bird, but sadly not relocated today. @birdguides.bsky.social @scottishbirding.bsky.social @hebridesbirds.bsky.social

I was pleased to find this ♀ Lesser Scaup today at Helston boating lake. (5th Nov). A ♂ was found here yest. Both ♂ and ♀ upper wing pics show the secondary and primary wing bar pattern. Lesser Scaup is annual in Cornwall. A flock of 10 were found at Drift in Nov 23 by @reuben-veal.bsky.social

Fresh off the Challenger expedition to the Canyons MPA along the shelf edge at the limits of UK territory, we seem to have broken new ground with the status of Band-rumped Storm-petrels. A handful on the first two days were great, but on the third day, the cup truly runneth over, and 84 were...

Just finished an epic long weekend with @scillypelagics.bsky.social, and what a fantastic 4 trips we had. Near constant views of Great & Corys, plus regular Wilsons and super confiding Sabines Gulls, Grey Phals and Long-t Skuas, but the icing on the cake for me was this Scopoli's Shearwater.

Baltic Gull from last night's roost out on Pat's Pool. Such a striking bird & great to see it in (at first) OK light before the gloomy dusk descended. As my friend Chris Gibbins said in a text last night, this one is as good as it gets. @linnetincley.bsky.social #NorfolkBirding #cleybirds 1/2
