#PatchGold on Sunday evening, I found a 1st w Grey Phalarope on my inland Dorset patch, the first record here. Amazingly it stayed 4 days & departed last night (private area with no public access) @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @patchbirding.bsky.social #PWC2025

Boom! Melodious Warbler on the fence-line at Balephuil, Tiree this evening - performing nicely in the sunshine. Only the 2nd for the island and a self-find tick #BirdingScotland

My first Papay tick of 2025 in the form of a White-rumped Sandpiper, briefly in the North Wick this morning. No sign this afternoon, but made up for by finding this Greenish Warbler in the far geo at Fowl Craig! #OrkneyBirding #PWC2025 Also a Great Shearwater offshore whilst watching it
