The @globalbirding May Big Day was a huge success despite the rain! 🌧️
.
The Instabirders team managed a fantastic total of 173 species- just 9 off our October record 🥳 Although the weather was rather horrendous for most of the day, we all made a brilliant effort.
The 15 of us were dotted all round the country including sites in Kent, Cornwall, North Norfolk, Cumbria, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Highlights included Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Bonaparte's Gull, Jack Snipe, Grasshopper Warbler and Little Tern.
.
Thank you to every single one of the Instabirders who took part and made this another amazing birding day 🤩
.
And remember- there is still time to donate to our fundraising page and give some money towards BirdLife Internationals' cause to stop the illegal killing of birds. Follow the link in our bio to donate, we really would appreciate it ☺️

To get the new year off to a great start we did a New Year Big Day on January 1st, visiting our local patches and recording as many bird species as possible.
.
The 19 of us who took part saw a fantastic total of 144 birds!! It was a lovely way to start the year, birding in our local areas and getting our year lists off to a flying start.
.
Some of were: Waxwing, Iceland Gull, Yellow-browed Warbler, Dipper, Long-tailed Duck and Kingfisher (and of course Long-tailed Tit @matthew_broadbent_nature 😂).

Yesterday, the Instabirders collectively walked 151,322 steps! That’s the same number of kilometres travelled by a Turnstone flying, 5 times, from its wintering grounds, in the UK, to its breeding grounds, in Greenland or Arctic Canada!

The Instabirders collectively walked a total of 124,389 steps yesterday. Divide it by 1000, and, In km, that’s just over a 1/3 the distance a Swallow can fly in a single day on its migration from the UK to South Africa!

Swallows can travel up to 320km (over 200miles) in a single day! After spending the spring and summer months in the UK, they travel down through western France and eastern Spain into Morocco, before crossing the Sahara Desert and the Congo rainforest – finally reaching South Africa and Namibia.
