Watch this! Superb Norfolk Wildlife Trust nestcam showing ospreys nesting at Ranworth. Last summer they were the first osprey to fledge chicks in East Anglia for hundreds of years. There's some fabulous action right now, male eating fish, female asking for some! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bevw...
Had a superb day on the patch at RSPB Lakenheath Fen on Saturday. Picked up this gorgeous male Yellow Wagtail on the new part of the reserve, and added Cuckoo, Whtethroat, Avocet, Bittern, Linnet, Raven and Reed Warbler to the patch list. #PWC2026 #Birds
Great views of the 2cy Ross’s Gull following tractors at Thornham this afternoon. Hopefully the start of a good spring in Norfolk! #UKBirding #NorfolkBirding
male Wheatear
female Whinchat
6 Wheatears and a Whinchat at Tev Fen this evening. After a really poor spring last year it has been great to have such a strong passage of Wheatears locally @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social
My first Cuckoo, Common Sand and Yellow Wags of the year on today's bike ride. Even got this footage - with my mobile phone!!!

Nice! They can be tricky birds to see!
Such beautiful markings on this Song thrush. #NEBirding #UKbirds #phonescoping

I do find hides restrictive, the view is largely 2 dimensional and one misses what flys over or to the side. Plus I'm anti-social, in my view more than 3 birders constitutes a crowd!! 🙂

Shelducks deciding which hole they are going to breed in this year. Weeting heath Norfolk. #birds #BirdingNorfolk
Sedge Warblers generally a in a week or two earlier than Reed Warbler, but there is always the odd exception!
We have an egg!! At 12:56pm today CJ7 laid her first egg on the @careyssecretgarden.bsky.social

This is how you tackle the ‘falling birth rate’. You support families and importantly, you support women into work. Many women my age cannot afford a family due to childcare costs and I refuse to quit work to have a child that I would then have to raise whilst struggling @plaidcymru.bsky.social
What a privilege.
On Monday this Barn swallow returned from Africa to see if our garage was open. I like to think that look is a thank you.

A pair of Garganey yesterday at Welney @wwtworldwide.bsky.social
Fortunately for her, the drake was pretty quick on the job.
An elusive pair of Tree Sparrows finally showed up at 4.45 after the dominant House Sparrows had quietened down a bit.
Cafe serves an excellent pastie too.

Common Crane enjoyed a record breeding season in the UK in 2025, with 87 pairs raising 37 chicks and bringing the total population to some 250 individuals:
Woodland carpeted in Bluebells so the ground looks like a sea of purple. The trees aren't fully leaved yet and some have ivy growing around the trunk
Another photo of the sea of Bluebells stretching through the wood. In the distance you can see the light through the trees. This area also has a few smaller shrubs and trees growing under the tall trees.
Our Field Ecologists Billy and Joel are back out in the field this week for the start of the 2026 field season! These Bluebells were taken by Joel near Braishfield. #WildflowerHour #Ecology
A male Pied Flycatcher in an oak tree, the black and white plumage contrasting with the light green early spring leaves.
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #LeafandLight any bird captured in sunlight with leaves in frame. Local Pied Flycatcher in an oak with sunlight making a light green cathedral of the leaves. #birds
A bird I miss seeing regulary having moved East from the Peak District.
Popped to Cavenham Heath, Suffolk this afternoon for this superb Ring Ouzel, found 3 Wheaters plus 3 Stone Curlew as well. #Birds

Of course not! One is entitled to drive apparently. I'm always puzzled why people moan about an occasional delay on a train, yet endure traffic congetsion without a thought.
Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction.
We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s.
We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third.
And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.
Excellent find!
Here's a video I never thought I'd take, 10 pale-bellied & 1 dark-bellied brent being overtaken by 10 black-necked grebes at Pennington Flash this morning. The geese were new for the flash for me & the grebes my largest flock ever at the site #PFBirding
The @nationaltrust.org.uk only rarely ask their members to take political action, but when they do, it’s seismic.
Please take the NT’s action, email your MP demanding the Government protect 30% of the UK for nature by 2030: campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/186395/...
