When summer evenings turn warm and still, I loop and sweep, and swirl with skill. Not a bird, yet I fly with ease, scooping up insects above the trees. With soft, stretched wings and a tiny face, I’m the dusk-time hunter of open space. Who am I? #RSPBRiddles

Wheeeeee...soaring into #FlyDay! 📷 Paul Browning

Biddy Baxter’s love for nature helped the very first Big Garden Birdwatch take flight in 1979. By sharing it with Blue Peter viewers, she inspired over 34,000 children to take part , launching a tradition that’s still connecting people with nature today. A true pioneer. Thank you, Biddy. 💚

No, I don't want to 'circle back'. I want to stare at the sea and wonder where the Puffins go.
