York City Council investiert 390.000 £ in die Acomb Explore Library! Die Gelder sollen das Angebot erweitern und die Bibliothek noch attraktiver machen. Eine tolle Nachricht für die lokale Gemeinschaft! York #Bibliothek #Investition #Bildung #Acomb Link
@rachaelmaskell.bsky.social Thank you Rachael. I'd rather have you as my MP than someone who votes to make kids and disabled people poorer. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social are a disgrace and seem afraid to do what most people voted for. They will let Reform in unless they change #York #Acomb
After the Greater Acomb Community Forum's action, things looked tidier: the Community Forum will continue to lobby Acomb Morrisons to take more responsibility for maintaining their whole site properly.

Sunday tootle along to Acomb and the north side of 'Watersmeet' (yesterday was the south side). Beautiful quiet spot. #RiverNorthTyne #RiverNorthTyne #Confluence #Acomb #Hexham #Brompton #Cycling #Northumberland
My resident garden Goldcrest is a bit confused about their reflection! @yorkbirding.bsky.social #Acomb #UKBirding
Murmuration and attendant Peregrine
#Acomb Starling murmuration is much reduced (actually was surprised there were still so many) but it did attract a Peregrine tonight, which encouraged some proper shapes! Mostly over British Sugar but ultimately still went towards the allotments @yorkbirding.bsky.social #UKBirding
Red Kite pursued by Carrion Crow
2 Little Egrets back on the Ings and lots of Heron activity at the heronry. Grey Partridges paired up as well. Got home to watch a Kite being chased over the house @yorkbirding.bsky.social #UKBirding #Acomb
It's not just Starlings that murmurate, here's some Jackdaws from last night. But hang on, they get gatecrashed....! #Acomb #YorkBirding #UKBirding Sound up and you can hear wingbeats and an impressed 13yo!
Tonight, I met up with friends at Clifton Ings. The best sighting was when dusk fell, so excuse the awful videos. Just amazing! 😍

Yesterday, I looked up from the computer screen in my studio and spotted a starling murmuration! I ran out of the house, but they were gone.

Always find it difficult to name a 'favourite' bird, but Starlings definitely edge it. Especially when they do this... #YorkBirding #Acomb #UKBirding

Another newly-registered #OnePlaceStudy on #OnePlaceWednesday! This one is of St Stephen's Churchyard at #Acomb in North #Yorkshire, a tranquil place full of wildlife and long-forgotten folk, and a favourite haunt of taphophile Tee Bylo. graveyardsquirrel.com/this-silent-...
