A horrible wet and grey day at NCW today. Notable birds at a premium but I enjoyed seeing this striking leucistic Black headed Gull and 2 Golden Plovers (1 shown)

Red Kites used to just pass over North Cave Wetlands reserve but over the last few weeks they have taken to landing in trees in groups of up to five. This one was quite low down.

Black and Red Grouse in a wintry North Yorkshire today. Blacks much more difficult to see than last couple of years today.

I don’t see many Purple Sandpipers so it was nice to see this one in a group of 8 at Bridlington today. You are a bit on top of them though as can be seen by the photo.

I know the Redpolls have been lumped and there are other lumps mooted e.g. Teal/GW Teal but can anyone point me to a definitive list of agreed changes please?

It’s been hard to catch up with Redpolls at NCW this year, so I was pleased to get this shot of one of two on West Path today.

Red-crested Pochard at NCW today. My 158th species on the reserve in 2024 - I am regretting not twitching the three other species that I could have this year now.

Follow and share if you agree 🚨 Hunts are exploiting loopholes to continue their bloody "sport." Packs of dogs tear terrified foxes apart for nothing but human entertainment. This isn’t tradition – it’s TORTURE. We demand stronger enforcement and REAL consequences for those who hunt wildlife.

From this morning’s edition of Shooting Times. Hang on a minute, isn’t this the industry that claims to be self-regulating & not shooting Woodcock until after 1st December to protect resident UK red-listed population?! Idiots.
