Make wet wipe producers pay for polluting England’s waterways, says report

Another lovely day #NorfolkBirding with an unexpected #TurtleDove

It’s been a challenge to get a photo of one of our local #LittleOwls as they rarely come out in daylight. Just about enough light at 9.26pm last night to get a photo, so I’m very happy 😁#NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Another exciting moment by the pond, a female #StagBeetle crawled out from under a rotting log, appeared to have a drink from the pond then returned to the log again #NorthNorfolk

So excited the camera picked up frog activity last noght in my new pond 🐸🐸😁

Pool party! The new pond gives me hours of entertainment but unfortunately the dragonflies don’t get a look in #NorthNorfolk

Conservationists are warning of an increase in recent weeks of the nesting sites of endangered breeding waders, such as the curlew, being destroyed by dogs.

Always a joy to see a #MistleThrush from the bedroom window and they're quite regular visitors here but this one was so close I struggled to get it in the frame! Raiding the Amelanchier tree for ripened berries. Taken through closed window #NorfolkBirding

So thrilled with how successful my new wildlife pond is after just 3 1/2 months, it’s so popular with birds & starting to look like it’s always been there, I set up a wildlife camera this afternoon - I am of course hoping for some rarities 😁#NorthNorfolk

This little story about Labour’s swift brick u-turn is getting enormous readership - so @teamlabouruk.bsky.social it will be hurting you. Such a simple, positive, happy, cost-free measure to introduce

A treat to see the #BootedEagle drifting high over #BayfieldEstate #NorthNorfolk around midday today #NorfolkBirding

At last a closer view of a #TemmincksStint at #Cley #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Extremely distant #RedBackedShrike in heat haze at #Weybourne today #NorfolkBirding

At last a closer view of a Temminck’s stint today at #Cley #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

And I love our pantile roof which has lots of little spaces for birds to nest, we’ve had 4 #HouseSparrow nests and a #Starling nest so far And our first fledglings have appeared #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

This has absolutely made my day! A first for the new garden - #Linnets!!! A pair of Linnets gorging on the dandelion seeds which I left alone in the lawn which I'm transforming into a wildflower meadow, such a great result and makes it so worthwhile #NorfolkBirding

Wonderful birthday spent with the stunning #RedFootedFalcons and cake at #CarltonMarshes #Suffolk today #UKBirding

Please sign, these harmless animals deserve better from us

This past week in Norfolk has felt like I'm on holiday, gorgeous weather & gorgeous birds, too many to mention but great to see & hear #GardenWarblers #LesserWhitethroats #TurtleDoves #Cuckoos #Whimbrels & the sky full of #Hobbies again, still can't believe I live here ♥️ #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

The Govt’s #PlanningBill would allow developers to pay cash to trash wildlife & the environment. The nature levy isn’t a tool for ecological recovery - it’s a license to kill nature. Pleased to join ecologists & experts to sign letter to MPs👇 @zero-hour.bsky.social @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social

I get infuriated by flytipping at the side of country roads. This load had been driven right into a field and dumped. Enforcement and fines need to be improved.

Great day's birding in #NorthNorfolk today with some exceptionally fab birds seen but this evening's brief encounter with our local #BarnOwl flying past me just along the lane takes some beating #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

So happy to open the bedroom blinds this morning and see our local #BarnOwl back, not only that but there were two! Jackdaws took over their box and we hadn't seen them for about 3 wks, but neighbours chased the Jackdaws out and things are looking hopeful again #NorthNorfolk

Always a joy to see some #RingOuzels - 3 males seen at #CaustonHeath this afternoon #NorfolkBIrding #UKBirding

#Spoonbill today at Cley marshes #Cleybirds #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

One of several #SedgeWarblers singing on Cley marshes today, so good to hear them back again #CleyBirds #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Another Fab day’s birding yesterday #NorfolkBirding #StoneCurlews #Bittern

Super peaceful morning on one of #Norfolk’s quieter broads yesterday #Osprey #Cranes plus many more birds Loving living in Norfolk

It's brilliant to have Cirl Buntings back as part of the Dorset soundscape. This one was singing its heart out yesterday. If you are lucky enough to find one please send in your record to [email protected]. Breeding records will be treated in strict confidence.

Got back home from bike ride about an hour ago, threw some seeds out on the grass and look who turned up within minutes #Brambling Haven’t seen him all week so surprised to see he’s still around #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Last week I was excited to find circa 25 #Yellowhammers in a ‘rare’ uncut billowing hedge by a small patch of Phacelia seedheads 1/2 mile down the road from home Today I was thrilled to find 2 in a hedge just 200m from my house! Ever hopeful for that garden tick #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

At last 👏👏👏

And I’ve just posted these same photos to Twitter, the difference is quite noticeable @bsky.app

And the quality of these photos completed nose dived when posting on here, the distinctive eye rings on these birds look sharp on the original photos but are blurred on here, it’s a bit disheartening really and I’m not generally too fussy

My first #Spoonbill of the year, may it be the first of many 🤞 #CleyBirds #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

The nine #LesserWhitefrontedGeese were quite mobile today #CleyBirds #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

How hard can it be to decide to protect wildlife, the environment & people from the toxic effects of poisonous lead ammunition? #BanLead #RaptorResearch #Ornithology raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/03/18/u...

Super views of a #WaterVole at #Sculthorpe nature reserve #Norfolk today, so close I couldn’t get it all in the frame

Chris Packham talks driven grouse shooting with gamekeeper Glenn Massacre raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/03/17/c...

At least 2 #Jays are regular daily visitors to the garden but still very shy and I have to stay behind the window to take a photo #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Another nice surprise this afternoon, shortly after the Brambling in the garden episode we went for short a walk around the village and came across a field with c80 #GoldenPlover feeding #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

The male #Brambling stayed a while in the garden this afternoon so I might have taken too many photos #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Can’t believe my luck, a beautiful male Brambling in my new Norfolk garden just now!!! #HappyDays #NorfolkBirding

I'm fed up of being able to touch cars overtaking me on my bike. At 35mph cars must give AT LEAST a Range Rover's width and MORE still as speed increases or conditions worsen. It would be great if you could pass this on, because people are getting killed.

Our new @adriftlab.bsky.social paper is out, lead by @alixdejersey.bsky.social showing the insidious impacts of plastics on seemingly health birds (1/5) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Well it’s taken 10 months to get the history of a ringed Glossy Ibis I reported seeing on the Camargue last May, but great to see the bird was ringed at or near the nest 10 years earlier - almost to the day

Exciting to stumble upon a couple of #GreyPartridges in a field not far from home this morning #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding

Very enjoyable hour searching for then watching and listening to the #Hawfinches at #GreatMassingham this morning #NorfolkBirding #UKBirding
