@jonathanfarooqi.bsky.socialExciting times at Clifford hill GP when I discovered the first American passerine for Northants, American Buff-bellied Pipit, as something about this pipit looked strange. Probably my best bird find ever. Many happy birders today. Jack snipe was in the same area. #northantsbirds #ukbirding #PWC2026

Show PostNice day on the Norfolk coast with good movements of Woodcock’s, SEO’s, and Little Gull’s. Highlight was this sneaky Quail at Winterton alongside the Issy Wheatear at dusk #rarebirdsUK
Show PostI just got back from a lovely stay on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, and was feeling a bit glum, but finding this Isabelline Wheatear on my patch has cheered me up no end! The last one I saw was several decades ago...On St Agnes! (Well, Gugh, to be completely accurate). #norfolkbirding #ukbirding
Show PostBuff-breasted Sandpiper was not a species on my radar for Cyprus. Delighted to find one today whilst guiding a group around Larnaca - First record for Cyprus! A very smart bird, many years since I’ve seen one #cyprusbirds
