Oh how cute this little blue tit is? Bejesus, look at the size of its gob. It’s an extra from Hitchcock’s The Birds 😲 #BirdsSeenIn2026 @britishnatureguide.bsky.social Norfolk UK #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

P1: oooo, beak’n’feet in the sea! Must be a tasty morsel. P2: Two secs later: OMG eew, what fetid hell has it found? #gullsinwater @robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday Norfolk UK #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

The jay kept visiting, but camera was never ready. Finally managed to capture this acorn hunter so it’s #birdofthemonth and touch of #blue Norfolk UK #BirdsSeenIn2026 @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

So true it almost hurts

Hen Harriers and other birds of prey are still being killed illegally. Enough is enough. Join us and call on the UK Government to license gamebird shooting and help protect these incredible birds before it’s too late. 👇 action.rspb.org.uk/page/185536/...

Quite so

Today's little watercolour sketch. It's supposed to be a Great Tit... Take care and I'll catch up with you later. #OriginalArt #Nature #Birds #PostcardArt

Our Youth Rangers teamed up with the Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust for a day tree planting under the Adur Adaptation Project. These trees will help to create new habitat & connectivity for wildlife as well as providing natural flood management benefits

So my #birdoftheday on the #white theme is a wonderfully showy bird whose cry never fails to lift me. So from last summer we have the Sandwich Tern. Norfolk UK #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

Murmuration - by Scottish artist and printmaker, Babs Pease We loved this one so much that we have a copy hanging on our wall! More of this artist's fabulous work, here: www.babspeasedesign.com #art #printmaking #linocut #hares #birds

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"Everybody - wake up! It's the #BigGardenBirdwatch!" Will you be taking part today? 👀🌳

I promised Graham @oldmanrambling.bsky.social I would post a Robin a day for a week in memory of his beloved wife, Janet. As she loved Roberto, who is their little garden visitor. So for the sixth day #WinterRobin #ForJanet #birds #EastCoastKin

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking, birds walking. The alternative theme is #birdinabush any bird in a bush set by @alan678.bsky.social ~ chosen a Hooded Crow strutting across a rugby field 🪶🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #birdphotography #bluesky #birdsofbluesky #EastCoastKin #corvids

It's #FlyDay...who's ready for the Big Garden Birdwatch weekend?? "Meeeeeee!" 📷 Carl Bovis

I have been moved to tears this week by the kindness of BlueSky folk prompted by Alan @alan678.bsky.social and his generous offer to post a daily #WinterRobin #ForJanet in memory of my lovely wife who I lost last week. On the fifth day here again is our own garden visitor, Roberto #EastCoastKin

Moorhen 1: That human was so rude disturbing us with that camera Moorhen 2: yes definitely rude, let’s walk away, I saw that snipe slip away into the reeds. I don’t blame it one bit. #tailsup Norfolk UK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birdoftheday #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

The little egrets of North Norfolk are a magnificent sight to see. Apparently the dozens we see here are a cohort of over 2000 in the UK. Check out the research by the BTO in the link below. #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

Superb

This wee #birdoftheday was #singing it’s socks off. I still don’t understand how wrens can be so loud! Norfolk UK #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

More bits of Homo habilis to pore over… but with strong arms, long forearms, doesn’t this just push that enduring question - “is it really “Homo” at all?” This species is purported to be an ancestor of ours, the earliest known in our genus… but I’m not so sure! www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

LOVE this!

Did somebody mention basal rosettes? Check out the fabulous Basal Project website, it has almost 2,000 photos of basal & juvenile leaves of British & Irish wild plants: basalproject.org.uk

Riffing on the #birdoftheday theme of #feedingtime the winds were light this w/e so the friendly redshank provided an opportunity for reflection. Appreciative nod to @alan678.bsky.social @robcrank68.bsky.social Norfolk UK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

1/2 Curlew – wonderfully charismatic, desperately threatened and in need of urgent action if they are to remain part of our landscape. That’s why the launch of the UK Curlew Species Action Plan yesterday in the House of Lords is so important. #Ornithology #Curlew

Here’s a first for me. Despite these being so common, I’ve never been near enough to photograph a skylark. There were around six in a coastal meadow this w/e. Norfolk UK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

We found two Fieldfare moving their way along a meadow boundary this month. Unfortunately I could only get a picture one at a time. Norfolk UK #BirdsSeenIn2026 #ukbirds #birdingnorfolk #EastCoastKin #ukwildlife #birds

Got my eye on you

Skirting around the flooded paths and pools, and in between snow showers while in the teeth of icy winds blasting North Norfolk straight from Norway, we found a legion of gulls patrolling the rolling surf, teal & wigeon on the flooded grass land and a wren sheltering in the brash. #UKBirds #Norfolk

We're delighted that our friends @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social have made #NewYearPlantHunt a #12DaysWild activity! Find out how to take part & learn more about how our wild plants are responding to a changing climate & what this means for all our wildlife: www.wildlifetrusts.org/blog/guest/j...

BTO wants local groups and individuals to take part, and help build understanding in how people and birds interact with greenspaces, which are public-access areas of vegetation in built-up areas e.g. parks, playing fields, cemeteries, village greens, campuses etc. Please share.
