@ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social @northwildlife.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @naturescotland.bsky.social Weather changing now, but memories from last week will linger on.

New visitor to our garden, possibly resident. A few years since our last pair. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @northwildlife.bsky.social #hedgehogs

Pruning plums today, joined by this helper! #Ichneumondae @northwildlife.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social

Moth trap light bulb packed up last week, new one from @nhbs.bsky.social instant success! 3 Garden Tigers visited last night. #Ukmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @northwildlife.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Is this a Mottled Beauty? Thanks for your advice. #Ukmoths @mothiduk.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social

I'm not sure what this moth is. Any help is much appreciated. #UKMoths @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social

The Hawkmoth, which came into my trap a couple of days ago, is still here. Not sure if I should be charging rent!! Fell out today, managed to pick it up, and put it back safely. @savebutterflies.bsky.social @rlewington2.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social

Visited Hauxley NNR today, at least 7 Avocet seen. Chatted to the team about nesting. This photo seems to show possible nesting. Let's wait and see. @northwildlife.bsky.social ##Northumberlandwildlife

No longer complaining about lack of moths in my trap. Last night, this visitor came, Poplar Hawkmoth. @alantilmouth.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social #moths

Another Beetle, this on Mull. Help me with ID please. @alantilmouth.bsky.social #Mullwildlife #Beetles

#insects #wildlife Any ideas who this beetle is, in my summer house in Northumberland.

Two Deer watching me watching them, possibly!!!!. Might be poor photo's but 'Magic moments on Mull'. @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @grulinehomefarm.bsky.social @naturescotland.bsky.social #Mullwildlife @petewalkden.bsky.social

Fairly confident!! this is a Shoulder Stripe in my trap a couple of days ago. Struggling to get moths in, I don't want to use a specialist bulb, can you recommend any ordinary bulb. @mothiduk.bsky.social @damianmoney.bsky.social

Nice female Orange Tip in the garden today, superb markings underwing. @ukbutterflies.bsky.social #Northumberlandwildlife

Struggling a bit with this, sure it's common. Help please. Need to get back into my Field Guide!!! @damianmoney.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social

View from my caravan window in Knaresborough, never know what you will see where!!! He's a bit of a poser. #northyorksbirds #Yorkshirewildlife @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social

More on our hero getting breakfast, false start but winner in the end. #Mullwildlife @petewalkden.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social @naturescot.bsky.social @everyheron.bsky.social

Lunch for local Heron in Dervaig. Tricky, when lunch fights back by wrapping itself around your bill. #Mullwildlife @grulinehomefarm.bsky.social @naturescot.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Little Egret on the River Breamish near the Ingram Valley Cafe. Chiffchaff singing everywhere, welcome to spring. #Northumberlandwildlife

I think that this is a Water Carpet moth. It was in the trap with a couple of friends lastnight. Still very cool at night, but it's exciting to look to see the visitors. @damianmoney.bsky.social @mothiduk.bsky.social

Hebrew Character and Early Thorn visited last night. #Northumberlandwildlife #moths

Put out my moth trap for the first time this year. A few small visitors, I need to brush up on ID's. Help!! too many look alike. @mothiduk.bsky.social

Goldeneye courtship display on the lake at Hedgeley Estates, Powburn today. Rather cool on the hills!! @btobirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @petewalkden.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social #Northumberlandwildlife #birds

Anyone any good at mindreading!! Pheasant strolled away as I went out. #wildlife

Spring is/was in the air this week at Hauxley Nature Reserve. Feisty Long -tailed Tits getting stuck in on the feeder. Bumble Bee enjoying the sunshine. @northwildlife.bsky.social @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social #wildlifenorthumberland

Strimming on the islands at Hauxley a couple of weeks ago, birds now back in residence. @northwildlife.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

Not long now before our next visit to Mull. #Otters #SeaEagles @petewalkden.bsky.social @isleofmull.bsky.social @grulinehomefarm.bsky.social

Can I sneak these in, they do like the sea!! Fenham Flats earlier today, hundreds feeding. #SuperSeabirdSunday #birds #NorthumberlandCoast

Cormorant in fancy dress at Hedgley Lakes last week. #NEBirding #UKbirds

Memories of the reds around our garden before our neighbour cut the woodland down. #RedSquirrelAppreciationDay @uksquirrelaccord.bsky.social #UKwildlife

Greylag with orange collar and leg ring near Belford last week. Could not go closer, so could not read them, any ideas? @kanebrides.bsky.social @steelyseabirder.bsky.social

Purple sandpipers at #StagRocks today.

Greylag's 'Dancing on Ice' at Hauxley Reserve today.

A bit busy up here today, is it always like this?? #SuperSeabirdSunday

Someone's going to have their work cut out!! #SuperSeabirdSunday #Northumberlandwildlife

#NorthumberlandWildlifeTrustHauxley Goodbye to the old Skua Hide which had definitely seen better days & hello to the new much comfier one. Todays highlights - Snipe near the new hide & Moorhen doing a comic balancing act on one of the bird feeders.

Thinking now of Spring. Common Sandpiper, Ingram Valley.

Walk by the River #Breamish today. Very few birds despite the sunshine, Buzzard, Kestrel, Heron. Mid walk lunch of a slab of Christmas cake with #Wensleydale followed by chocolate truffles & a flask of tea. Someone's got to eat the leftovers.

Happy days with Squirrel in my garden, sadly woodland now felled. #sundaysquirrel #ukwildlife #mammals

Eiders courting in Seahouses Harbour, you can almost hear Frankie Howerd joining in. #superseabirdsunday #birds

During the summer months nesting Eider ducks lead their freshly hatched young out to the open sea, walking down the tracks and roads of the Isle of May, like this female with her ducklings #seabirds

More Fulmar arguing the toss. #superseabirdsunday

View over Hauxley Pools (NWT) towards the sea today. Big flocks of Curlew and Oystercatchers. Little Egret skulking in the reeds. @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

Stunning Goldeneye at Hauxley Nature Reserve. #birds #wildlife #wildlifetrusts

Hauxley Nature Reserve today. Shoveler playing 'now you see me now you don't'. #ukwildlife #birds #wildlifetrusts

Last Butterfly spotted in the garden, end of October. Not as many visiting this year, but remain upbeat for next. #butterflies #ukwildlife

Young Grey Seal pups, now independent, are roaming around the Isle of May enjoying their new found freedom as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com Photo by Chiara Zorn

Courting couple in the garden earlier this year. Despite trying his best she ignored him!! #UKWildlife

Regular visitor to Stag Rocks, Bamburgh, however not seen him recently. Must look him up. #superseabirdsunday
