Beautiful sunrise over #LoughErne. Despite the chilly start, there was plenty of snipe activity, common sandpiper numbers building up & flocks of whimbrel on passage to Iceland.

@AnnMarieCFoster @BTO_NIreland @UlsterWildlife @Barry_ndgreen Hi Ann-Marie, and thanks for getting in touch.

Great to be at the 2023 Northern Ireland Seabird report launch last week, listening to all the fantastic speakers @harris_sjh, @NiamhEsmonde and Hala Haddad updating us on the Seabird Monitoring Programme and science happening around Manx Shearwater.
It was great to attend the launch of the @BTO_NIreland Sea Birds Report 2023. Really interesting data, information & science behind the work to survey sea birds, presented by Hala, Sarah & @NiamhEsmonde
Thanks so much @BTO_NIreland for inviting me to give a talk on my PhD. I feel incredibly lucky that fellow seabird enthusiasts want to listen to me natter away about Manxies @CopelandBirdOb. I hope you all enjoyed it! ❤️🐧🌊

I heard last night that I am one of two people to have done a @BBS_birds in Wales every year since it started in 1994. This is where I also did a pilot census project square in the 2 year test in 92-3. Really proud and happy to have contributed to the survey at all levels.
A riot of drumming, chipping & scraping snipe this evening! (Turn the sound up).
Woweeee 🤩 there's a RED KITE on Rathlin today!!! It soared overhead twisting and turning for a few moments, then swept away out of sight
Beautiful flock of golden plover gathered above the hills in Antrim yesterday morning, the actually look like fireworks when they turn in sunlight! @UlsterWildlife @RSPBNI @BTO_NIreland #antrimhills #goldenplover

🎉 PUFFINS AHOY 🎉 Just spotted our first Puffins of the year, bobbing about out on the water close the cliffs. Welcome back to Rathlin!
First #chiffchaff of 2024 heard in Lurgan. Also heard tree sparrows for the first time in the garden. #spring @BTO_NIreland @RSPBNI
Super day at Victoria Park as part of #Belfast2024 as we got to know some of Belfast's avian rockstars. Of particular note were the nest building long tailed tits! Our thanks to Stephen Hewitt from @BTO_NIreland for leading!
Not heard a Chiffchaff yet here in South Down but did find a male Blackcap singing on Wed. & some terns, probably Sandwich, offshore yesterday #vitaminN #springmig
Anyone else enjoying the sights and sounds of spring? Jemma watched this Wren collecting nest material on Wednesday, just lovely! If you have birds nesting in your garden you should consider signing up for the Nest Record Scheme, a great way to contribute to valuable science!
