St Lucia was island number two and we are currently 8/8 on the endemics (though the St Lucia Oriole made us sweat right up until last light today!). St Lucia Wren, St Lucia Amazon, St Lucia Warbler, St Lucia Thrasher and St Lucia Black Finch all seen well plus a few other bonuses along the way. Tomorrow we sail early to Martinique

The first island ticked off on our Lesser Antillean adventure is Barbados. We had no trouble seeing the only single-island endemic here, the very common and somewhat drab Barbados Bullfinch. It was actually hopping around the breakfast tables at the hotel! A superb morning birding some local wetland sites followed before we took a plane this afternoon to neighbouring St Lucia where more endemics await!

Tomorrow Ashley and a group of nine intrepid birders will be flying out to Barbados to start an island hopping tour of the Lesser Antilles, an itinerary designed and perfected by Ryan Chenery of ‘Birding The Islands’ who we’ll be working with throughout the trip. We will visit 10 islands (Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua, Montserrat, Grenada, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Barbuda, Martinique and St Vincent) and will be looking to try and see all 32 (following the recent taxonomic shake up of the wrens!) currently recognised endemic birds found only in the Lesser Antilles region. Whether we do it or not will depend on the weather, logistics of various boats and planes, and whether all the birds show themselves! But we’ll give it a good go!

We’re just back from a great few days in East Yorkshire with Marylebone Birdwatching Society. Highlights were some fantastic Short-eared Owls, a pair of Peregrine hunting right over our heads, finding a Coues’s Arctic Redpoll at Bempton and enjoying superb views of this Amur Stonechat at Spurn

Absolute pandemonium! Having come off North Ronaldsay this morning our group was working some sites on Deerness in Orkneys East Mainland when they found a Scop’s Owl!!! 🤯🤯

An incredible final day of our Shetland tour. After finding a Barred Warbler and Little Bunting the group were close by when the mega of all megas was found at Hillwell - a Siberian Blue Robin!

Amazingly shortly after seeing this bird they were watching a Two-Barred Greenish Warbler down at Quendale before heading to catch the ferry

A great first couple of days in Ireland for our Kerry & Clare group guided by Cian Cardiff and Ashley Saunders

After a Semipalmated Sandpiper yesterday morning we had distant views of a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in the afternoon - both birds that breed in the Canadian Arctic and winter in South America

We went back and got better views of the Buff-breast this morning! Blog here https://www.oriolebirding.com/birding-diary-kerry-clare-2026/

After a hot but busy Friday at Global Birdfair we are ready to go again today in Nightingale Marquee! We have a new bigger stand this year, plus comfy seats and cold drinks!
Ashley, Nick, Jane, Jonny, Neil, Lorenza and Gary are all here for the whole weekend so come and say hello and meet the team.

A superb trip out today with Mull Charters where as well as one of the regular adult male birds (known as ‘Compo’) the highlight was a rare visit to the boat by an immature bird. Such impressive beasts!
