The landscapes of Tarbet and Handa change rapidly with the weather, but always spectacular
A royal day out...! Greenland Wheatear taking the coastal path on its way northwest. Most of the late April wheatears we get are likely to be leucorhoa and the length of the wing on this one - almost reaching tail tip - suggests a long-distance migrant #ukbirding #suffolkbirding
A nice surprise along the beach south of Walberswick this morning: a Wryneck singing three times from a bramble. I am not sure I have ever heard one sing in the UK... #ukbirding #suffolkbirding
I was surprised the Lesser Yellowlegs at Aldeburgh stuck around long enough for me to go and see it this morning; lovely light and I had it all to myself, plus a little bit of bonus singing when antagonised by a Redshank #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

Zitting Cisticola at Walberswick showed 6 times in 70 minutes this morning viewing from beach; please do not walk out into marsh along raised bank (like this person), there is no guarantee you will see it (like this person)... #ukbirding #suffolkbirding
Finally some photos edited from an amazing @mariposanature.bsky.social trip to Provence & Camargue with David Fairhurst. So many highlights: 1000s of Ruff and Wood Sands, Calandra Lark, Lesser Kestrel, Bonelli's Eagle, but also Crested Tit and Firecrest. Spaces available for next year (see reply)
