‪@alan678.bsky.social‬ has set a high bar for 'worst' BOTD, but this is playing to my strengths. Beautifully lit and framed White-tailed Eagle, oh, and some herbert who moved in front of me. Glad I managed a clear shot on the 3rd one. #worst #BirdOfTheDay #birds #EastCoastKin

Three trips to Mull and never saw an Otter nearer than 200 yards away. Walking the dogs along the Mersey today and came across one 20 feet away. Happily fishing as he went, seemed quite unperturbed by passers by. #Otters #RiverMersey #Urmston

Nice to see the Swallows and Martins feeding over the Mersey near Urmston yesterday. Quite a large number over the sewage works too. #UKBirding

@yorkscoastnature.bsky.social “I definitely heard a Herring Gull somewhere…”

Nice to see the Mandarin Ducks having a good year on the River Mersey just outside Manchester.
