The Lesser Crested Tern yesterday was hard work for a number of hours, but great views were had towards the end of the day. The longest day trip twitch for me so far… 18 hours out, house to house! #birds #ukbirding #twitching #devonbirding #tern #lessercrestedtern @birdguides.bsky.social

Lesser Crested Tern. 12 hours after leaving the house, it finally paid off. Fantastic tern. #274 of year. Great day out with Dave Woodhouse, Naz and Mo. #birds #ukbirding

Birds seen ‘in the wild’, but not ticked: LT Skua - too fleeting / distant view. Scottish Crossbill - not proven. Hooded Crow/GW Teal - lumps. LWF Geese - reintros. R Shelduck - Cat B. Sibe Chiffy - subspecies. Snow Goose - feral. Bustard - not self-sustaining. The rest - escapes. #birds #ukbirding

Turn up at Cromer. Nope, it’s now at Overstrand. Turn up at Overstrand, nope, it’s now at Sidestrand. Ah.. gochta, Pallid Swift! Great bird to see flying over my head - someone else with a clean lens & a clue on camera settings would have done a lot better. #lifer #birds #ukbirding #norfolkbirding
