Blackbird, Commondale
One of our residents has a distinctive centre white tail feather stripe. Always raises a smile when I see him, including before the rains today. Please drive carefully through the village. 😊 #birds #ukbirding @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social

European hare, Akasztó, Hungary 🇭🇺.
Widespread numbers of these beauties right across the Great Hungarian Plain #Alföld 29.5.26
Cuckoo, Hortobágy, Hungary 🇭🇺
I have never seen or heard so many of these enigmatic birds in single country before. Plenty of obliging flybys, often when I was focussing on something else … 27.5.26 #birdinghungary #birds
Savi’s warbler, Apajpuszta, Hungary 🇭🇺. Saw and heard a good number and several were showy. Tried a couple of spots for my first river warbler but failed. Next time. 29.5.26 #birdinghungary #birds
Gorgeous hare at Wykeham Forest, Raptor Viewpoint on Tuesday. Bonus after the Iberian chiffchaff. I was on road and it walked by. Stunning creature, always surprised by length of the forelegs. @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @yorkswildlife.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social
Golden plover, Wheeldale, NY Moors
Actually my first on moorland territory this year, as drawing a blank on my local patch spots. Also a new find dipper, and surprisingly, 2 grey partridge, in drizzle this AM @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social #birds #ukbirding
Brown hare, Wheeldale Roman Road
This beauty up close whilst I was listening for golden plover yesterday up on the moors. @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social
(Very) local male redstart and wheatear this afternoon, always good to check in when returning from further afield. #birds #ukbirding

Pied avocet, Cley Marshes, Norfolk.
Delighted to have a parent walk past with their young on Friday, whilst I was approaching the boardwalk. Beautiful chicks, superb reserve. 12.6.26 #birds #ukbirding @waderquest.bsky.social @wtsww.bsky.social @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
Oystercatchers, Commondale
It’s been a great year for the pairs on the village outskirts, and young are well ahead of those at Scaling Dam. @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @northyorkmoors.bsky.social #birds #ukbirding
