Water Pipit still around the muck heap at Cowbar today along with Rock Pipits, Meadow Pipits and Pied Wagtails. So much food in this little eco-system! @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social

A grey day on the NYoors brightened up by a distant "cronking". A quick scan located a Raven sitting on a post c1.5 miles away across the valley! It was soon joined by it's mate (they are never far apart) and after a bit of mucking about on the ground flew off together. @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

At least 2 Velvet Scoter in Common Scoter flock off Marske Stray. Also Red-necked Grebe showed really well on Bran Sands with Long-tailed Duck flying out of the river mouth. Very few divers around! @teesbirds.bsky.social #nebirding

Don't see them very often around Great Ayton so it was nice to watch a group of six Grey Partridges feeding quietly in the field just behind my house #teesbirds

It's a funny old game. You spend much of the day driving around the North York Moors looking for birds of prey and see virtually nothing. Then see a ringtail Hen Harrier late afternoon just a few miles from home! #teesbirds

Pair of Ravens on the moors just outside the Cleveland boundary today. This impressive "cronking" corvid is a great addition to the local avifauna. #NEbirding #Teesbirds

Cold morning watching Little Auks moving north at Hartlepool Headland, with a surprise adult Pomarine Skua north mid-morning and a Long-tailed Duck in a small flock of Teal. A group of nine Pintail moved south into the estuary at the end of the session.
