First visit to Nebraska Wetlands nr Kirton on way home from seeing the GG Shrike - nice little reserve - 33 species including this pair of Grey Partridge @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirding

Went for 2nd helpings of the Great Grey Shrike at Fillingham this morning. Lots of great views of it hunting. It caught 2 voles in quick succession and cached these. @lincsbirding.bsky.social #ukbirding

Fingers crossed that the River Don doesn't breach as it's looking very high - these sheep are not taking any chances

Murky visit to North Duffield Carrs this morning. Lots of White-fronted Geese - 2 skeins flew over which had gone into a field close by blending in with the Pink-footed Geese plus more viewed from the hides. Had just missed the Slavonian Grebe but did see the Greater Scaup. @ldvnnr.bsky.social

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...
