I was the first one on site to see the adult Rose-coloured Starling today at Long Nanny (well worth the early start!). Fabulous bird. #birds #ukbirding #rosystarling #rosycolouredstarling #northumberlandbirding #longnanny #northumberland #ukbirds @rarebirder.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

TWO new herons in 24 hrs was not what I expected… This Lincs Squacco Heron was re-found by eagle-eyed @yellowbellyontour.bsky.social early this morning, just before I arrived. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #ukbirds #birds #herons #birdsseenin2026 With @jrmjones.bsky.social @birdergaz.bsky.social & Mike W

Unbelievable! Last night I saw a Quail run across a track at Orgreave Lagoons. This was my 10th attempt to try & see one. I wasn’t quick enough to get a pic, but Sam was stood next to me and managed this. Wow. Never give up. UK #324 #yorksbirding #ukbirding #birds #quail #lifer #birdsseenin2026
