Birders Twitter S2 - E1

We're back in the game! Still bringing you the very best of birding, from the very best birders - you!

Jonny H is a bit tudey and is relegated to the naughty step for some quiet contemplation. DDL trumps the 2 Jonny’s New Years Day efforts which is becoming habit forming and is basically uncouth. DDL also reports on finding a probable Transbaikalian White Wagtail at Maha Forest, UAE. Which is pretty impressive!

Because we are actually pretty important now, we offer the listener the chance to win a pair of Zeiss Terra Ed binoculars - simply by making a blind auction bid to our Tern the Tide fundraiser.

Zeiss are currently the most conscientious optics company we can think of and probably also the best. Respect.

Then Jake dials in the blow the entire rest of the country out the park - with a 130 days total! Shoutout to @Jake_Gearty @DJLbirding and Liam.

We also shoutout rare finder @jonathanfarooqi who cleaned up on Islay!

May you all thermal image your Ring-necked Parakeets and we go again next week…
