Quick, catch that fish!🐟
Take a look at these stunning photos, taken at #GosforthNatureReserve!
You can tell Kingfishers apart by looking at their beaks. Males have an black beak, whereas females have an orange patch on the bottom of theirs.
Thank you to S&JPhotography for these great photos!📷

With new wetland development at #GosforthNatureReserve, now is an exciting time to take a look at how this new habitat is already encouraging more wildlife at the reserve.
Many Little Egrets have been spotted feeding in the mud where the reeds have been cleared, which is a great sign!

A timeless shot of a Cormorant at #GosforthNatureReserve
Cormorants can be spotted in inland freshwater and along the coast.🌊
Did you know that although Cormorants are amazing divers, there feathers aren't actually waterproof?
📸Thank you to Ray Haldane for these wonderful photos.

Enjoy some wildlife from #GosforthNatureReserve taken by local photographer, Mark Bell 🦌
The Common Terns, Grey Heron, Roe Deer and Kingfisher were enjoying foraging and hunting for a quick snack, on this rainy day🌦️
Did you know, the Common Tern is nick-named the 'Sea Swallow'?🪶

Not one, but two Tree Bumblebee nests discovered along the #BeeWalk transect at #GosforthNatureReserve! 🐝🌍
Unlike many other bumblebees, Tree Bumblebees often nest above ground – in bird boxes, lofts, or holes in trees, which can make them easier to spot! 🔎

How amazing to hear from our brilliant volunteer, Chris Wren, about his love for Otters on tonight's #Winterwatch! Chris does an incredible job monitoring mammals of all kinds at #GosforthNatureReserve and we couldn’t be more grateful for his time and expertise! @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social 🦦⭐

A Goldfinch in the golden hour feeding on some Alder cones☀️
On a cold, crips evening, sunsets at #GosforthNatureReserve give off the perfect lighting for some great wildlife photography.
