ADHD birder, hubby and daddy. Just trying to find my way in an upside down world. I love birds and the peace they bring. Coastal patch at Seaburn and Whitburn but my birding heart rests in Fair Isle. 🌍💚🇪🇺

Then onto Titchwell where, after a walk up to Thornham Point, a mirror calm sea yielded an adult Black throated Diver and 2 Velvet Scoter as well as a mega flock of Starlings, pouring their way west against the setting sun #UKbirding #NorfolkBirding

The Siberian Stonechat - looks like maurus we'd have thought (our perched photo and Peter Coe's rump photo)

In relation to the Siberian Stonechat, big thanks to Roger Webb who first found it and got in touch about 'the palest stonechat I've ever seen' that he reckoned despite less than optimal views must be a good bet to be a Siberian. Nice find in a really underwatched part of the island.
