Working with #kakapo, this is the best thing you'll ever see. When "candling" an egg you hold your breath, hoping to see this: beautiful embryo development in a fertile egg. This is Tiwhiri's second egg, about 8 days old. About half of eggs are infertile. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

A brilliant recovery of a Dungeness ringed Blackcap. It was ringed as a young male on 20th September last year, it has been caught again at Jew's Gate, Gibraltar on the 19th January 2026. Travelling 1720km SSW during its autumn migration, to where it is now presumably wintering.

It was only 200 metres more to Surrey 🧐🫣😎. Kent and LNHS won though 🫣🤗. Red-flanked Bluetail found by Will Oliver yesterday afternoon and very very elusive . Still difficult today but a few saw it well with patience . Also in the area, Woodcock, Brambling, Crossbills

They seem to be getting on OK...🙂

Dawn on #Darlandbanks this morning with a Robin singing in the new year accompanied by a Song Thrush, Blackbird and the raucous calls of Crows and Gulls.

A year of Teesside’s coastal wildlife and wonders - they can take some finding but, mercifully, they’re still hanging on, for now. Wishing everyone the best for 2026. 🪶🐡 #nature #art

Well Happy New Year everyone, been a bit crappy this year what with work commitments, a few funerals and losing both my walking pals within six months of each other, 😭 so here's hoping for a better 2026..
