I've more or less given up on Twitter, if you want to know what I am up to, you will find more up to date information on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/andrewwhitel…
Great to see chicks at the curlew nest we've been monitoring. @waderquest @BradNDadBirding #waderwednesday @bbcspringwatch #springwatch
Rough grassland area in Shetland - doesn't look much but has breeding redshank, snipe, lapwing, oystercatcher and curlew on it. Never underestimate the value of "unimproved" grassland #WaderWednesday @BradNDadBirding @waderquest

Happy International Dawn Chorus Day! Its not just about passerines, our waders are celebrating too! What waders have you heard today? #DawnChorusDay
Wintry waders on a Shetland shoreline today #waders #shorebirds #WaderWednesday #BirdsSeenIn2023 @BradNDadBirding @waderquest
Its too cold for ground nesting birds to nest, but its still on their minds. Footage taken on a -8C morning in Moray a few years ago, oystercatchers displaying courtship behaviour youtu.be/hM5La9eIkI8 #waderwednesday @BradNDadBirding @waderquest
Another otter video captured using a wildlife trail camera. I love the way this guy stops and looks up when he hears a raven going overhead. #otters #mammals youtu.be/fTjJz7dyZqU
I've been going through my photographs and videos from last year in Shetland. Turns out I took quite a lot of otter footage. Here's a compilation of one of my favourite encounters AND I was at work at the time, bonus. youtu.be/ORpovwfVtj0
The lapwing, once a common sight across the UK, but now in decline and UK red-listed. Good to see decent winter numbers of them in Norfolk recently. #waderwednesday #birdsseenin2023 @BradNDadBirding @waderquest

If you are doing your post-Christmas wine bottle recycling and the bottle bank is full, then maybe take yours home and wait? Otherwise you are just a middle-class fly tipper. #recycling #flytipping
Redshank and greenshank together for this week's #WaderWednesday @BradNDadBirding @waderquest #waders #shorebirds
Love the sound of Brent geese as they fly overhead, its one of the great sounds of winter birding #BirdsSeenIn2023
Hard to ignore this guy as he came right up to us and started singing #BirdsSeenIn2023
