A morning of greens and cloud movement this day 📷🕊️ ….

Noticing that #NatureRecovery isn’t welcome for North Tyneside Council, sadly grass mowing removes wildflowers to make the flat grass ‘pretty’. Left pics, early June 2019 and right mid May today, 2026 #NoMowMay 🤷🏻‍♂️⚠️🐝🦋🐦‍⬛

Noticing this fine view of cliffs under Tynemouth Priory with summering Black Legged Kittiwakes and NT’s Souter Lighthouse as background #Tynemouth (UK) #Seabirds #Nature

Von acht Eiern sind mindestens sieben Küken geschlüpft. Es ist schwierig, sie zu zählen, es bleibt weiterhin spannend. 🪺🪶 At least seven out of eight eggs have hatched. They're hard to count, so it’s still exciting. #eastcoastkin #birds #ECK

Noticing 🎵 oh you pretty thing 🎵 Starling / Starnel in #Tynemouth (UK) #Birds #UKnature

Sorry buddy, fishing is not allowed anymore. ...and there is no such thing as #SealSunday. #wildlife #Oslofjorden #Bærum #Norway May 1, 2026

Although the Holly Blue (boomblauwtje, C argiolus) is often seen in gardens, on Dutch Butterfly Monitoring transects by far the highest density is counted on heathland, where Common Heather (Calluna vulgaris) is an important foodplant.

Noticing it’s the start of a new day! Starlings in #Tynemouth (UK) #Birds #Nature #UkWildlife

Noticing at #Cullercoats (UK) the pretty #wildflower Thrift (Armeria maritima) or Sea Pink. Often coastal, always evergreen carpet forming plant can be long flowering if it can avoid mowers and strimmers 👀 #Botany #WildflowerHour

Tues, 12 May 2026 Working with Newcastle City Council, Esh Civils and ecologists to ensure best kittiwake outcome during Tyne Bridge Major Maintenance Works 2024-2028. Today’s meeting included Alastair Swan and Heather Wales (engineers from NCC; left) with Helen Wilson (right) & Dan Turner from TKP.

Noticing the Sand Martins, enjoying their acrobatics around the #Gulls and feeding for 🪰 🦟 over the boating lake in #Tynemouth (UK) #Birds #Urban #Nature

Some of our #wildflowers are so incredibly minuscule they are very easy to miss! This week’s challenge is to get your specs 🤓 on & see if you find any #tinyplants in bloom. Share your finds for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm! Happy teeny flower spotting! 🧐🌸🌿

Noticing the easily overlooked, Pied wagtail, as it scuttles about in busy urban areas, including here, in #Cullercoats (UK) #Birds #UrbanNature 🌿

Out on Bittern and Marsh Harrier surveys this morning, lots of Cuckoo activity, managed to sneak up on this male. Oh and Black Tern on patch today!! #Birds #SuffolkBirding #PWC2026

I was up there a couple of weeks ago, I still marvel at the Kittiwake colony on the Tyne Bridge, fantastic to see and hear them.

Noticing why #NoMowMay for #Tynemouth could be so good for #NatureRecovery (left pic, Monday) but when mown to a lawn (right pic, today) is now poor for #Nature 🪰🪱🐞🐝🦋🐦‍⬛

I had the pleasure of meeting this elegant young lady in Whitley Bay today. 📍 Whitley Bay, UK #Seal #GreySeal #Wildlife #MarineLife #NaturePhotography #Beach #Ocean

Noticing this Meadow pipit which is a ground-nesting bird among the grassy tussocks below Knotts Flats on the slopes #NorthShields #Birds #Nature

Noticing the pretty Hoary Cress (Lepidium draba) at #Tynemouth & #cullercoats #Nature 🌿

Peak hawthorn at the allotment -

Please don’t put out hair for bird nests. Chicks get entangled in hair balls. Just had to cut hair strands that were tying 3 blue tit chicks together, and wrapped round the throat of one skinny chick that couldn’t swallow food. Hopefully saved in time 🤞

Very smart adult med gull on Spanish Battery, Tynemouth this morning #nebirding #patchbirding

Today's #patchbirding mission was sedge warbler. Just about annual in Tynemouth but largely restricted to early May so it was now or never... It took a while but it was eventually mission accomplished when I found one singing from deep in the vegetation west of the Haven (sound on). #nebirding

Finally sharing the last of my Chipping Sparrow photos from last year (new ones to come shortly!). Hanwell, #NewBrunswick, Canada May 2025 📷 #birds #sparrow #CHSP #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z6iii #Nikkor800pf

#NoMowMay has started! Are you taking part? Find out how we are supporting our friends @plantlifeuk.bsky.social in their annual campaign to boost lawn biodiversity: bsbi.org/blog/2026/05... Leave your mower in the shed & let the wildflowers bloom: you'll be supporting pollinators & other wildlife!

Goedemorgen beste Blueskyers, het ging flink te keer vannacht, maar nu is de lucht weer mooi blauw. Dat is ook het #vergeetmijnietje vandaag in #ElkeDagEenBloem Allemaal een fijne dinsdag gewenst. @willybs.bsky.social
