Always nice to get a local ‘rare’ and the Night Heron, not 30 mins from my place was a real stunner! Saw it well this afternoon, and went back this evening, where re-found down by the riverbank. Good to see & catch-up with many local birders too…

As well as this bird, a few other Brent Geese that were tagged at this location have taken the same route, but went past unseen. Thanks to those that have passed on the info and to the project 'FONPAL' for collecting such interesting data!

Dockyard quiet today c/o cold wind. Got to wander some of the more popular filming locations all by myself. From Les Miz to Loki, Sherlock Holmes to Ed Sheeran, Bridgerton to Pokemon.. (Who needs Hollywood?) Incomplete list thedockyard.co.uk/hire/filming... misses off my fave, 'Children of Men'.

I wonder whether the wind helped this speedy WMRG Jack Snipe 👇? Tags and tracking are revealing more about Jack Snipe migration. Hope to be able to update blog about Jack Snipe and Snipe, when papers have been published. wadertales.wordpress.com/2016/09/20/s... #ornithology

It’s St Cuthbert’s Day!! St Cuthbert is regarded by many as Patron Saint of Northumbria and Eider protector. #nebirding

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

A Pink-footed Goose (VLF) I saw in east Norfolk in Sep 2021 with Jack Morris had been ringed in NW Iceland in Jul 2017. It’s since been seen elsewhere in Norfolk, Lancashire and Caithness. Jack was also responsible for the Caithness sightings: in 2024 and again this week! 🇮🇸🧪🌍 #UKbirding #birdringing

On Tuesday evening our ringing team recaught a Woodcock on Wheldrake Ings after dark, and after checking our database, it turns out that we ringed this individual at the same site (as a first year) in January 2019 – so seven years after ringing and now almost eight years old @yorkbirding.bsky.social
