Over the summer Newcastle East WI went on a walk in the Ouseburn as part of #GosforthsWildWeb and recorded an A-Z list of species to turn into bunting.π
After many hours of hard work, you can now take a look at the gorgeous bunting made by the women!π±
This bunting has been kindly donated to NHSNπ³
Delighted to spot a dipper (Amber under the Birds of Conservation Concern Red List) in the #Ouseburn in #Gosforth today. I know #GosforthsWildWeb has ended but Iβm still playing @northwildlife.bsky.social @nenature.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
What an amazing bird walk at Big Waters Nature Reserve! The weather was perfect for a relaxed strollπ³
We spotted over 20 species and were treated with Great Crested Grebes nest building, diving ducks, sunbathing Cormorants and foraging Goldfinchesπ¦

Such a lovely afternoon plant spotting and litter picking in Shieldfield - a new combo for me! Thanks so much to @DwellbeingS for having @NENature_ along ππ± #GosforthsWildWeb
Turns out Lemon Balm is a common #pavementplant in Shieldfield. Who'd have thought? π
Such a lovely morning with @DwellbeingS and @SAWnewcastle exploring plants as part of #GosforthsWildWeb. Excited to visit again soon!
Lovely to get out and about in the sun for our first @NENature_ team wildlife ID session today.
Amber and Julie (pictured) did a MINT job searching for #ladybirds spotting six species, including more Cream-spot Ladybirds than I've ever seen in one place! #GosforthsWildWebπ
Exploring spring flowers this morning on our latest @NENature_ #GosforthsWildWeb walk. Several surprises to be had in Siberian Squill, Three-cornered Leek and even Brunnera... in a woodland. Newcastle is rarely dull! π±π
Great fun this morning leading an @NENature_ ladybird walk in sunny Jesmondππ·
In just over an hour, attendees found 2-spot, Pine, 10-spot, Orange, 7-spot, Harlequin and Cream-spot Ladybirds. Not a bad haul... #GosforthsWildWeb
A windy #GosforthsWildWeb plant walk in Hebburn this afternoon with this hardy bunch! Lots to see, even in the depths of December. Clary a slightly odd find!ππ @NENature_
Beautiful weather for today's #GosforthsWildWeb plant walk in and around Leazes Park. Heaps to see when not getting sidetracked by Swan Mussels, and plenty still in flower! π»π @NENature_ @urbangreenncl
