Added another lifer to my list - a Black-throated Diver. Seems to have a found a 'great' companion - Great Northern Diver at Covenham Reservoir this morning

Bonus day off work today and rather than Christmas shopping decided I'd rather spend the day birding! Fantastic to watch the starling murmuration and the reflections on the water @northcavewet.bsky.social #ukbirding #Yorkshirebirding

Lots of Redwings at Nosterfield yesterday. Plus Jay and Fieldfare showing well @davidjcopeland.bsky.social #YorkshireBirding #ukbirding

Five Snow Buntings at Flamborough today @flamboroughbird.bsky.social #ukbirding

After patiently waiting in the cold and wind yesterday we eventually saw one the Short-eared Owls at Outstrays NR from the Welwick Hide #ukbirding

Prior to the video of this Merlin it was impressive to watch it chase a small bird as it kept swooping under it to keep it up in the air. Outstrays NR from the Welwick Hide #ukbirding

Another fantastic day at Outstrays yesterday. Started with whirling wader spectacles at high tide and ending with 2 male Hen Harriers, Merlin and Short-eared Owl - with Glossy Ibis, Whoopers, Fieldfares, Redwings and Barn Owl in between

‘Tis now the season. 🍁🍂 and the perfect time to list this original Redwing drawing on this antique map of the Yorkshire Coast. #birds #birdart #birdmigration . Available here . ⬇️⬇️⬇️ jennywrendraws.com/shop/ols/pro...

This was an experience - driving through a starling murmuration on Sunday! Video taken from the dash cam (A161 between Crowle and Eastoft) @ukstarlings.bsky.social

A few videos from today's visit to Blacktoft Sands this afternoon using my new Ollin digiscope adapter (birthday present) - hopefully I'll have a better chance of getting some more videos before the bird flies away as it's so much quicker!

It seems around 5am is the time that the Red Deer gather together. They certainly seem intrigued by the trail camera

One of the highlights from yesterday's @flamboroughbird.bsky.social Seawatch Festival was a large pod of dolphins heading south

Whilst I was seawatching yesterday @flamboroughbird.bsky.social Seawatch Festival @davidjcopeland.bsky.social was being entertained by the seals
