It seems in the last couple of weeks that when I go out into the garden after dark I hear various birds passing over. Lately I've heard teal, wigeon and tonight the long drawn out call of a plover. Couldn't determine if golden or ringed, so much easier in daylight #Mulbarton #vismig
Buff-tailed Bumblebee sunny itself and getting ready for action

Starting to feel like spring in the garden today with frogs spawning in the pond and bumblebees emerging #Mulbarton #Gardenwildlife
Blackcap sub singing at the bottom of the garden this evening #Mulbarton wheres that been hiding this winter.
Just stepped out into the garden to hear teal calling overhead #gardentick #Mulbarton
Took this photo in January 21 in the farmland around #Mulbarton I dismissed it as a pale phased buzzard at the time as the tail pattern was poorly defined. Having seen this photo today I'm questioning my original id..would love to hear views of others.
A productive ramble around the local farmland #Mulbarton with my first flock of golden plover on the ground (only fly overs until now). A few metres over was a covey of 5 grey partridge..a Mulbarton tick for me and has only taken 6 years to find them ๐ Lots of thrushes in the hedgerows too.
I've never had both chiffchaff and blackcap in the garden at the same time. Just had 2 blackcap and 1 chiffchaff and its December!! #Mulbarton #Norfolkbirding
Just had a wren in the garden with a beakful of insects, surely a bit late for another brood #Mulbarton @bto-gbw.bsky.social
Living with farmland all around I sometimes get the odd skylark over the garden. The most I've had at any one time is 2. Just stepped out this morning and had a group of 16 heading south west plus a few mippits #Mulbarton #Norfolkbirding #vismig
