Also chaffinch, robin and blackbird only just managing to pick up the mealworm due to the sultanas already held, clearly to feed a chick already! and a blackcap sculking.
Again, OM-1, 1.4TC, 300mm f4 Pro, Adobe ACR, no crops.

Just a few snaps at Thorp Perrow yesterday.
Nuthatch calling, drake mallard and a couple of his duckling.
OM-1, 1.4TC, 300mm f4 Pro, Adobe ACR.

Marsh harrier
Ok, they're not the best images, I wasn't ready of course, and heavily cropped due to the distance. My 1st green sandpiper (i.d.'d by knowledgeable people), and marsh harrier #Flask lake reeds @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social OM-1 & 1.4TC & 300mm f4
I forgot to post this last night, Monday 9th, there is a superb #starling #murmuration, near #Catterick best feud from

This of course is the last couple of minutes as they land.
@nybirdnews.bsky.social
Super happy with these of the #smew at #FountainsAbbeyStudleyRoyal today, only the last image cropped. It really is that close !
#OM1 #300mmf4Pro with #1.4TC, processed with Adobe
@nybirdnews.bsky.social
I've now found www.birdguides.com/articles/ide... which explains it all very well, thanks for the correction 👍🏻
Does that include the GWFG 🤔
I photographed my 1st WFG last week at Nosterfield, so now know what they look like... 👍🏻
Thanks. Is there a way of telling the difference 🤔
Great white egret, stonechat, semi-leucistic jackdaw which was frustratingly eluding a good photo
@yorkswildlife.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #OM-1 #MZ300mmf4 #birds
My first visit to @yorkswildlife.bsky.social #StaveleyNR and I think (correct me if wrong?) I've seen and photographed my first greater white-fronted goose, and lesser redpoll ?!
Not my 1st buzzard, red kite - all birds very distant so cropped images from #OM-1 #MZ300mmf4
@nybirdnews.bsky.social
Also 2 cetti's calling, one either side
Bittern heard booming at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social flasks reedbed hide 13:40, 15:02 & 15:05
Clear skies so #comet #C/2025 A6 #Lemmon!
Wider image to locate the blue green smudge near the TV aerial.
The other my best of many, taken 21:39, #OM-1, 300mm f4 Pro, 1.4 TC handheld, against window frame, ISO 6400, f5.6, 6 second single exposure. Processed and de-noised in Adobe Camera Raw.
And yet again, this proves humanity is the problem...
Don't let those legs get too much sun, there's little UV protection at that sort of elevation... though does it matter when you're nearly old enough to retire 🙃😜🤣👨🦳
All taken over an hour on 19th, on a small private fishing lake at Jervaulx Abbey.
For those that want to know, I used an #OM-1 with #300mm f4 Pro, either with or without the 1.4TC, and 12-100 f4 Pro. Using #ProCapture.
#odonata #dragonflies #OMDS #Olympus
@nybirdnews.bsky.social a somewhat late report, for no reason other than I forgot, but a pair of cuckoo flew over Jervaulx yesterday morning about 08:00. Of course I didn't have a camera with me 🙄
Alan, I saw the little egret on Sun Beck upstream of the Applegarth car park yesterday.
Very please with this single image of the #solar disc, taken with the #OM-1, 1.4TC, #300mm f4 Pro and some #Baader solar film. 1/1000 f5.6 ISO200
Processed in #Adobe Camera Raw, 1st one actual size, and 2nd one cropped for detail.
That's one enormous #sunspot :o
They are, screaming about as they do at 500 feet up, just visible, but no way to photograph them properly...
@nybirdnews.bsky.social No photos as I don't have the camera for it, But I've just seen my first swifts of the year over Romanby, North Yorkshire.
This by my Reckoning is a week to 10 days early.
A couple of hours round #ScortonLakes this afternoon produced a few photos from the #OM1 #300mmF4 #TC14 @nybirdnews.bsky.social
A wet Easter Monday afternoon, so I took some focus bracket images of the flowers my niece gave my wife.
OM-1, 60mm macro, available light, stacked in Helicon Focus 8, and processed in ACR.
My photos of today's #PartialEclipse from #NorthYorkshire #OM-1, #1.4TC, #300mmf4Pro = 840mm equivalent at 35mm for those who understand.
With #BaaderSolarFoil in front of the lens.
All edited in #AdobeCameraRaw #ACR.
@northyorksbirds.bsky.social no photo, but 2 sand martin at Sowerby over Cod Beck 16:10
As promised, the video.
The video.
As you see, there're collars (about a dozen) I've reported to waterbirdcolourmarking.shinyapps.io/sightings2/ which says they're part of an reintroduction program, and regular about the NE.
Sorry it's jerky, OM-1 + 1.4TC & 300mm f4 = 840mm equiv, hand-held. About 200Mtrs away.
@nybirdnews.bsky.social
Something like 100 barnacle goose at scorton lakes, North Car park on the two islands in the main lake as per this link maps.app.goo.gl/TqahUXxJYAAB...
Can't add a video to this post because it's the wrong format. We'll share later.
Ah, apologies, I misread which feed this is.
