A fantastic day deep in the lower Amazonian reaches of the Manu Road where we went to visit the nest of a Harpy Eagle. The well grown chick has fledged the nest but still remains in the immediate vicinity. It took us a tense 2hrs to find it but eventually had mega views!

An amazing moment for our Peru group this morning as we chanced upon the nest of the endemic Ochre-fronted Antpitta. The nest was 2.5m up on a young tree and mostly constructed with mosses. One large chick in the nest showed a fluffy ginger cap and similar white stripe under the throat as the adult. In the heavy rain the adults (both male and female observed) were mainly brooding but occasionally nipping off to grab prey items for the youngster. Amazing!

The first full day of our Peru tour saw us birding the Abra Patricia area in the north of the country where a number of range-restricted species are found. We had superb views of the endemic Rusty-tinged and Chestnut Antpittas plus the dazzling near-endemic Royal Sunangel after starting our trip last night with the mega Long-whiskered Owlet

Our group was birding in East Yorkshire today at Flamborough Head when news broke of a White-throated Needletail seen briefly at Tophill Low (c15miles away) and photographed but then lost. We discussed the possibility of it hitting the coast and decided we should spend the rest of the afternoon with one eye on the sky..

After checking the lighthouse area we headed to Bempton and as the sun was setting a Barn Owl appeared. As we watched one of the group shouted “Swift!” and an incredible moment followed as we all watched the Needletail bomb past along the cliffs (they can fly at 100mph!). It immediately vanished from view so we raced to one of the clifftop viewpoints to see if we could relocate it.

After 20 minutes with no sign we were about to leave when it zoomed up from below and came right over our heads. The last mainland UK record was 32 years ago of this mega rarity, so it has been a once-in-a-lifetime sort of afternoon for the group!!

We’re up in Orkney this week, and enjoyed our first full day on the islands today in bright and breezy weather! After bumping into a smart drake Ring-necked Duck yesterday in Caithness before the ferry, and enjoying some brilliant White-tailed Eagles and Ospreys, todays highlight was close views of Red-throated Divers
