Been fairly quiet so far this year for #TansyBeetle with just the odd one or two, but found these this morning, preparing for the next generation.... #BugLife #YNET #RawcliffeIngs #York
Wandered round the more populous part of the patch this morning: Clifton and Rawcliffe Ings. Good to see Skylarks holding territory, 2 Sedge Warblers (very occasional this side of York) and a Cettis singing behind the waterworks. Couple of Kingfishers along the river @yorkbirding.bsky.social
After a few high individuals recently, today really is #Swiftday. 5 or 6 over the Beckfield Lane/ Ouseburn Avenue colony today, including some screamers! #LoveSwifts @yorkbirding.bsky.social
3 Swifts high over Rawcliffe Ings this morning. First bit of calling I've heard this year @yorkbirding.bsky.social
Garden Goldcrests are frisky! This one is spending far too long chasing off the rival in the shed window (aka its reflection)! @yorkbirding.bsky.social #UKBirding
Did my early @bbs-birds.bsky.social y'day and for 3rd yr in a row drew a blank on Tree Sparrows so think the Knapton colony has gone. So headed out to #Bempton. Thought I may as well see the other birds people were there for as well...
Simply the best birds. Beautiful and charismatic and anyone who doesn't 'get' them needs to give their heads a wobble! #Starlimgs #UKBirding
Plenty of calling Water Rail's @yorkswildlife.bsky.social Potteric Carr this morning, but you don't see them that often.... #chick #UKBirding
Popped over to the @nationaltrust.org.uk Farne's, may have got shat on, pecked and got the giggles. Actual bird photos to follow (when I've waded through all the blurred flight shots)
Weekend up north terned out alright (soz), with visits to Farne and Seaton Carew #UKBirding
