[/elsewhere/sightings/](https://simonwillison.net/elsewhere/sighting/). I have a new camera (a Canon R6 Mark II) so I'm taking a lot more photos of birds. I share my best wildlife photos on iNaturalist, and based on yesterday's successful prototype I decided to add those to my blog.

Image 1: Screenshot of a "Sightings" webpage with a search bar and RSS icon, showing "Filters: Sorted by date" and "208 results page 1 / 7 next » last »»". First entry: SIGHTING 7:51 PM — Acorn Woodpecker, with two photos labeled "Acorn Woodpecker" of black and white woodpeckers with red caps on tree branches, dated 2nd May 2026. Second entry: SIGHTING 10:08 AM – 11:17 AM — Acorn Woodpecker, Western Fence Lizard, Osprey, with three photos labeled "Acorn Woodpecker" (bird on bare branches against blue sky), "Wester..." (lizard on tree bark), and "Osprey" (nest on a utility pole), dated 1st May 2026. Third entry: SIGHTING 11:11 AM — White-crowned Sparrow, with a photo labeled "White-crowned Sparrow" of a sparrow with black and white striped head singing with open beak, dated 30th Apr 2026.

I built this feature on my phone using Claude Code for web, as an extension of my beats system for syndicating external content. Here's the PR and prompt.

As with my other forms of incoming syndicated content sightings show up on the homepage, the date archive pages, and in site search results.

I back-populated over a decade of iNaturalist sightings, which means you that if you search for lemur you'll see my lemur photos from Madagascar in 2019!
