They are quite a treat Dave. A close up of a male for you. But highly localized to limestone outcropping. Should be considered a separate species from other Blue-rock Thrushes.

The jays at Canons Farm (Banstead, Surrey) are in full-on acorn-foraging mode! I watched a dozen birds going back and forth, collecting acorns from the oak grove and transporting them back to their secret larder-zones to be buried for winter. #birds #birdphotography #autumn 🐦🍂⛅

Some have asked me where is a good site to see the Temminck's Sunbird (Aethopyga temminckii) in Peninsular Malaysia. Try the gardens of the Moonriver Lodge at Sigar Highlands. Also the Bamboo Woodpecker & 100s of acres of unexplored forest. See our report: malaysianbird.report/wp-content/u...

In July, @puzzlewild.bsky.social and I went to Galloway for Scottish Photography Hides. We rented the Pine Marten/Tawny Owl hide. After a buzzard then a sparrowhawk, we saw pine martens. The hides are great. We’ll definitely go back! #ukwildlife 🦊 #pinemarten #scotland
