A beautiful evening to be out birding in south-west Worcestershire.
The Common Crane was still at Longdon Marsh plus at least one Great White Egret (4 reported earlier) and a Red Kite amongst the highlights.
Also a Grasshopper Warbler reeling at Castlemorton Common.

The drake Lesser Scaup at Ripple Pits this evening.
A superb find by Gavin and just the third county record.
Also my third in Worcestershire but the first time I've twitched one 😉

The ghost of Sela!
This incredibly pale Bearded Vulture left us speechless when it glided overhead a few times while we were birding in this high altitude area of #ArunachalPradesh .

Two Northern Wheatears showed incredibly well on the #MalvernHills this morning.
A male on Sugarloaf Hill and a female that showed down to just 4 feet at times on Worcestershire Beacon.
Also a male Lesser Redpoll singing at the top of Happy Valley and 2 Siskins west.

Tibetan Siskin was an unexpected bonus during our time in #ArunachalPradesh .
We stumbled upon this sizeable flock near Dirang early one morning.

Having been away during the main spring passage of Ring Ouzels earlier this month it was nice to find a pair on Table Hill #MalvernHills early this morning.

You wait ages for a Great White Egret, then three turn up together!
My first record at Powick Wetland earlier this afternoon.
#WorcsBirds
We had regular Accentor encounters in #ArunachalPradesh , seeing four species.
Clockwise from top left; Alpine, Altai, Robin and Rufous-breasted with the latter being encountered most frequently.

Himalayan Cutia at Eaglenest #ArunachalPradesh .
Amazing views of this species when we encountered a flock of six at eye level alongside the main track.
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2024 #India
Male Red-fronted Rosefinch at Sela #ArunachalPradesh .
This was by far the scarcest rosefinch species we saw and at 13,700 feet elevation, it was also the highest!
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2024 #India
A fabulous White-browed Tit-Warbler at Sela #ArunachalPradesh .
Definitely one of the highlights of the trip and just one of many great birds that we saw in this high altitude wilderness.
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2024 #India
GRANDALA!
Incredible views of two males feeding and wing flicking in the snow just a few metres from our feet at Sela Pass was one of the most unforgettable moments while birding in #ArunachalPradesh .
#IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2024 #India
Jerdon's Babbler was the highlight of birding along the Dibang River #ArunachalPradesh this morning.
Even better was to come later when we saw a female Bengal Florican in flight nearby.
