Birders Twitter - S2E10

We're all in a seated position - surrounded by cushions - ready to hear about Amy aka @lizardschwartz recent Spanish birding exploits...

We have an Agenda for this episode which is pretty professional. I am impressed.

We commence proceedings by coranating HRH Amy as the Bird Selfie Queen 🦆🤳👸

Her highness is fresh in from Spain and regales us with tales of Chough, Wallcreeper and of course Lammergeier...

HRH took the following servants with her; @Jake_Gearty @DJLbirding and @jonnie_fisk apparently they performed well and none needed beheading.

We hear a first account of what it's like to watch a bone-hungry Lammergeier head tilt at a pile of bones - then cavort about the place with 14 of its sort.

Amy is better at birding than we are.

We shoutout Jake the Snake 🐍 aka Dirty Gearty from number 30.

We put shame on frame-filling photographers. They're the worst.

We discuss that Wallcreeper photo...

Rock Sparrows are literally not worth looking at. Amy absolutely hates them.

Is Jonny R actually Prince Harry? I mean - he really looks like him. All regal and that.

'Spain is officially better than Sweden' ~ Amy Schwartz, March 2023

Amy has completed European Birding and is now only world birding - but would look at a Mealy Redpoll.

Both Jonnys have had bouts of pre-Pyrenees. Thankfully making a full recovery.

If you want to see Dupont's Lark - get up early.

Jonny H rediscovers Tree Sparrow for Yorkshire. Which is nice.

Jonny H 'might' not be able to hear DDL?

DDL delivers Oriental Skylark ID master class... which Jonny H 'might' not be able to hear.

Jonny H is joining young Chris Pendlebury aka @UForthBirder on the autumn series of Love Island - to be filmed on the Isle of May.

Amy is listening to you all, all of the time. Anytime your on Twitter - she's listening.

Our man Drew aka @DJLbirding listens to Birders Twitter whilst watching Bitterns. Next level...

Jonny H is beset by delayed onset trauma from getting kissed by DDL and now refuses to hear him. This is a problem for Birders Twitter. Like all problems - we will ignore it. Unless it gets pre-Pyrenees bad. Then will apply the appropriate ointment.

We make our predictions for the coming week - as is standard.

DDL vows to find and suppress a Black-throated Accentor. Which we will never hear about. Send hate DM's to; @birdbrainuk

We know all about mtDNA and dispense advice on doing your own toungue based DNA analysis of scarce/ rare bird poop. Martin Collinson aka @docmartin2mc might come on to verify our technique.
