I spent a lovely few hours @wildkenhill.bsky.social this afternoon with the very knowledgeable @acorncarver.bsky.social as our group guide.Too engrossed to take photos.Really interesting to learn about returning land to nature,farming sustainably & managing habitats to benefit wildlife #RoadTrip2025

About 10 feet up (an Oak - I think) tree this afternoon in woods in West Norfolk. Could it be Chicken of the Woods - can anyone confirm please? @norfolknats.bsky.social #Mycology

As I left the village (Lincs) earlier on this Buzzard, quite confiding, sat perched up. #RoadTrip2025 @btoengland.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

A very small, quite pretty moth on the wall (Lincs, UK). Maybe a Small Dusty Wave Moth 🤔 @norfolknats.bsky.social #Moth

Heading home tomorrow, a lazy morning followed by an amble this afternoon. It’s not the most inspiring countryside but peaceful & dead flat. #RoadTrip2025 🧵 1/2

Minding my own business when the @royalairforce.bsky.social BBMF Dakota flies 3 low passes 🥰 #BBMF

Initially alone in a city I found outdoors & book shops🙄In my defence there were sales on.I’ve had a lovely day with 2 good friends,we walked,talked,laughed,lunched & visited Lincoln Cathedral😮I got the last bus back to the middle of nowhere,now cosy in my cottage with a cuppa & a film #RoadTrip2025

Almost unbelievably entry (inc parking) @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social Far Ings National Nature Reserve is free!The VC is closed Mon/Tues making it very quiet🤩Such a very peaceful place.A 3 mile stroll around this afternoon.I guess the wind meant there was little about. #RoadTrip2025 🧵 1/2

Somewhere vaguely around Gransmoor, a brief stop to answer a call and a pair of Red Kites emerged from nearby trees. This one was most confiding & allowed me to work in my bird in flight photos 🦅 #RoadTrip2025 @btoengland.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

IWillow Emerald Damselfly, Chalcolestes viridis. It’s one of the latest of our damselfly species to emerge and so can often be found in autumn perching up on vegetation. Thanks to @norfolknats.bsky.social

Wandering around @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social Lincs Far Ings today spotted this Damselfly perched. Any of you resident experts tell me which type please? @iamabat.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social

A great journey back South,picnic lunch stop & lovely couple of hours ambling around a nature reserve. Now in deepest darkest Lincs.I only booked this place last week,what a find🤩 It’s in a village at the end of the road;quiet & secluded is an understatement 🥰 #RoadTrip2025 #NooneWouldHearYourScream

Sorry (not sorry) 😇 more Gannets. Only when reviewing my photos did I see this much younger juvenile still covered in a considerable amount of down! I was focussed on the juvenile (dark coloured bird front left). #RoadTrip2025 @rspbengland.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs

I couldn’t resist the urge to return to @rspbengland.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs today,there’ll be no more suitable weather this trip 😭 I find these majestic birds so mesmerising which is of course why I returned today. #RoadTrip2025 (I’ve a few ring sightings to log too). @btoengland.bsky.social

I had no idea there were grey seals at Flamborough Head. Imagine my delight as I rounded the cliff tops - I’ve never seen many out at sea before getting to the 2 inaccessible bays where many more were hauled up🦭🥰 Their calls echoed in a cave & filled the air. #RoadTrip2025

My legs needed a rest today so I took a drive out to Flamborough Head today. Again spectacular views. Car park price not too bad & free 🚽 🤩 Sadly the lighthouse is currently closed. I didn’t except what I got as I walked around to the end! #RoadTrip2025

I spent the afternoon @rspbengland.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs I didn’t see the Short Eared Owls but thousands of Gannets, they’re memorising to watch. I’ve only ever seen one or two before.The numbers here are just incredible.Amongst them every so often a good view of a juvenile. #RoadTrip2025

Great idea! Still irritated I couldn’t get a combined 25 / V25 T-shirt having achieved them on the same day. Socks it will be at the next milestones 👣 #Parkrun

RAF Bempton est. as a radar station,(part of Chain Home Low (CHL) network) in 1949.Originally installed close to Flamborough Head Lighthouse but was too low so moved.Except for a period from 1945-1949 it served similar purposes until its final closure in April 1972. #RoadTrip2025

A bit of #Parkrun tourism today. Sewerby is a lovely course. I slept well, forgot to pick up my bone conductors,first run with no 🎶🤨 Stuck to the 34m pacer for the first 2m …undoubtedly he stopped me going off too fast, last mile walk/run for me but a new PB‼️ #Delighted

I drove across Fylingdales Moor,very sad to see the vast areas devastated by wildfires.I had a stroll at Filey, stunning views.A downpour upon arrival at Bridlington 🌧️ rainbow after rainbow followed.Fab air B&B,all I can hear is the sea & Chinooks.Oystercatchers on the beach #HappyDays #RoadTrip2025

Sunset was underwhelming on my final evening here in Whitby. I’ve enjoyed it & not driven the car since I arrived.🤩 Moody skies behind one of the ornate shelters along the West clifftop. #RoadTrip2025

An easier day today, 5.5 miles out to Sandsend & back via Whitby Museum. It’s a really good museum and easy to while away a couple of hours. #RoadTrip2025

As I retuned from Sandsend, walking 🥾 along the beach, the price for getting caught in a brief shower 🌧️ was seeing a double rainbow appear and disappear before my eyes. 🌈 It was a pretty special few moments. #RoadTrip2025 #Rainbow @virtualastro.bsky.social @skycalpro.com 🧵 3/3

A juvenile Guillemot on the rocks in Whitby Harbour this morning. There have been a few about ever since I got here. @btoengland.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social

I’m grateful to the friend who suggested this hike 🥰 Exactly 8 miles from the guesthouse to the beach in Robin Hood’s Bay. Not many folk about 🤩The scenery & views-breathtaking, the terrain-undulating 😂 I stumbled into a cafe before walking back up the 30% incline to get to the bus #RoadTrip2025

Yesterday I took a trip by bus to Saltburn-by-the-Sea (they have free toilets 🥳). I walked down to the prom via the pleasant valley gardens & was amazed by the beautiful vast expanse of beach. They have Yorkshire’s last pier, slightly quirky it opened in 1869. #RoadTrip2025

This evening’s sunset from West Pier, Whitby. @virtualastro.bsky.social @skycalpro.com #RoadTrip2025

Final tally 9.7 miles including going to find dinner! 🍽️ I just made this route up and ambled around a few things in town afterwards. I opted for the path less trodden and took Caedmon's Trod up to the abbey & the famous steps down. #RoadTrip2025

This evening’s sunset over Sandsend from Whitby West Pier #RoadReip2025 @virtualastro.bsky.social @skycalpro.com

There was no way this view was going to look good in broad daylight IMHO … however I’m pretty happy with this view of the Abbey and the just past full Corn moon rising. 🌙 #RoadTrip2025 #Whitby I made it back just as the heavens opened (moon soon obscured again)!

Lewis Carroll Garden,Whitby in a very small space on a side street afford great views.Fittingly whimsical in tribute to the author of Alice in Wonderland.Somewhat controversially this view of the abbey beats the view through the whalebones that everyone else wants😂 #RoadTrip2025

A single beautiful Little Rock Pipit hopping about low in the craggy cliffs & on the sand between the…🪨 this morning at around the high tide line in West Cliff bay, Whitby. I believe they are resident in these parts. @btoengland.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

Mid morning today on the ebbing tide on West Cliff beach, Whitby. #Panorama @panophotos.bsky.social #RoadTrip2025

A flying visit to @lincswildlife.bsky.social Far Ings yesterday to break the journey up and see the Humber bridge. The air was buzzing with Swallows and Dragonflies. Managed to capture one resting … female Common Darter maybe? 🤔

While a large number of folk were gathered in almost silent anticipation with cameras poised in vain hope of the cloud clearing to see the blood moon … very few turned round to see the beautiful sunset over Sansend. #RoadTrip2025 @virtualastro.bsky.social @skycalpro.com

There may have been no sign of the full cold moon / blood moon this evening but as the sun set the light was just beautiful over Whitby. #RoadTrip2025

If you are in Norfolk and want to see the Outsiders exhibition it opens next in Cromer on 29 August at the Artspace on the Prom.

Impactive, thought provoking & emotive. @cromerartspace.bsky.social It could be any one of us … just think about that. @marcdavenant.bsky.social marcdavenant.com/outsiders/

Waxing Gibbous 13 day old moon 🌔 this evening over North Norfolk.It’s been a while since I had a go at capturing the moon & also since I was even able to see it from home! Needed some practice ahead of Sunday’s full blood moon. @skycalpro.com @virtualastro.bsky.social @chrispage90.bsky.social #Moon
