Visit 2 to my Hesleden Winter Bird Survey square this morning. Coveys of 6 and 10 Grey Partridge were the highlight in this ocean of winter cereal. Only a third of potential Cleveland squares are allocated for this important project @teesbirds.bsky.social @bbs-birds.bsky.social

It's December and time for your next Winter Bird Survey visit! Here are some thoughts from James Heywood, @bbs-birds.bsky.social and WINBS Organiser, after his second visit.

Thank you to all our WINBS surveyors!

Cheers Fred! An instructive bird, repaying close observation and discussion.

Drake American Wigeon at Castle Lake, Bishop Middleham this afternoon - a long-awaited local patch lifer for me! @patchbirding.bsky.social
