I had another amazing session this morning with the Pin-tailed Sandgrouse near Pinoso Spain. If you look carefully you can see why they are called Pin-tailed. What a privilege to see 39 birds so close again. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #birding #naturephotography

To see one Red-footed Falcon was amazing today. To see two, well, that really was special! Cornwall birding at its best!

Brilliant, brilliant Banksy
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a Banksy piece. Historically the artist posts his work on his Instagram page. It does not appear there.
The real artist’s name, Loretta, is clearly visible at left.

Moustached Warblers must be one of the most difficult warblers to see - so I was really pleased to get some photos of this one that posed for a few minutes at El Hondo Spain yesterday. #birds #birdphotography #BirdsSeenIn2025

Hummingbirds really are stunning creatures. This is a tiny Ruby-topaz hummingbird on Tobago:

IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Plse ask you MP to lobby for it now. 🙏
