Bringing you the latest UK bird news and an amazing sighting from Texas in the US. Also, another bird has officially been declared extinct after the last sighting in 1995.

A pretty good 2 and a half days. Hobbies, spotted redshank, Guillemots, green woodpeckers, spotted flycatchers and more. As usual, the corresponding vlog with all the visuals is here - https://youtu.be/phCIM-kBhwE?si=74rPV4oY9Zc6hfF6

In today's podcast I bring news of the amazing recovery of the Dartford Warbler in the UK. A wrongful bird rescue, Canon's new camera teaser, and I find out what the longest camera focal length is.

I head off to Dover for a long staying family of Eurasian Doterrel, and then to Sandwich for a Spotted Crake. The corresponding vlog with all the great video & photos is here - https://youtu.be/57ssvlvGplo?si=Ut6sEEVNmhyzGHHM

I spend 8 hours on the island starting at Elmley, heading off to Harty Ferry Road, Shellness, and back again. Clocking up 47 species. As usual go to my corresponding vlog to see the amazing footage I captured - https://youtu.be/D3wQGCMXruA?si=2kffrKKalbDZnkqp

2 Big birding events in the UK over the last week. The first confirmed breeding of the Zitting Cisticola (Fantail Warbler) in Suffolk, and a rare Black Winged Kite seen near WWT Slimbridge.

A roundup of news from the Canon camera company. Winning big awards at he camera oscars, and their 2000d which was discontinued 5 years ago, but is still selling strong.

A short evening walk around an area I haven't been to in a couple of years. Always great for firecrest, goldcrest, nuthatch
