Really exciting watching #vismig Swifts scything into the wind over the East Yorkshire Wolds in packs of upto 30 today. 180 by 0645, and another 120+ as the showers developed #migration #ukbirding
Some hefty showers crossing Lincs this afternoon, this one with a little funnel cloud in tow 🌪 #stormhour #loveukweather
This magic spell of migrant moths continues, with another Ni Moth trapped overnight, following the second for Shropshire here just two days ago! Also Bordered Straw, 5 SMWs, 10 Silver Ys, 20+ Diamondbacks 🤩 #teammoth #salopmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
More excellent skywatching today as thundery showers rolled over the East Yorkshire Wolds #stormhour #loveukweather
Pale Oak Beauty the highlight of a quieter trap this morning. Seemingly first in the county this century, first away from the far SE (Wyre Forest), and first in the West Mids since 2015?! #teammoth #salopmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
Another morning with a Ni Moth in the #salopobs trap, but it wasn't a third individual, it was the one first trapped on Friday! #vc40 #teammoth #salopmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
Brilliant 22° #solarhalo yesterday in the Yorkshire sky, with a segment of rarer parhelic circle too #atmosphericoptics #stormhour
Pinks and browns the theme of today: exquisite Sainfoin and a few Pyramidal Orchids in the headlands, and two busy Kestrel nests located
2 Bordered Straws and 17+ Silver Ys on the Red Valerian currently, despite a cool breeze #teammoth #salopmoths @migrantmothuk.bsky.social
How about a post-prandial leveret amongst a few #lawnflowers for #wildflowerhour?! One of 4 Hares on the lawn today 😍 #salopobs

Gulls, Geese, Goshawks, Aurora, Astronomy and everything else in the sky. #lookup
