Testing a Little Tern plate…I’m planning to print a small edition of these prints to take with me to @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social Migfest later in the year where 🤞🏻 I’ll be showing a selection of work. All proceeds from this print will go to The Beacon Ponds Little Tern Project. #yorkshirebirds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideView, birds that are side on to the camera. Here's my selection.
A Short Eared Owl perched on a fence, in Wykeham. A Green Finch in our Garden. A Reed Bunting, North Cave Wetlands and a Reed Warbler, last year at Top Hill Low. #yorkshirebirds 🪶

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BestOfTheMonth, your bird captures you like best from February, the Alt theme is #Pigeons&Doves.”

Showing my appreciation for the cracking little Red-necked Phalarope that has been kind enough to hang around until the weekend bus to Spurn. Fantastic bird.

Back in the motherland to tidy my parents garden.
Walked my sisters dog round my teenage years patch of North Anston pit top.
Was all coal when I was a lad!
15 Pink Feet over was a right result.

Great pelagic trip with Yorkshire Coast Nature today. 10 Minke Whales, rafts of Sooty Shearwaters by the boat and the big four Skuas. Brilliant! #ukbirds #yorkshirebirds #ornithology

Two dragonflies are in the middle of mating and then, whoosh, a Hobby picks off and eats one of them on the wing. What a way to go. Filmed at Swilly Ings yesterday #birds #ukbirds #yorkshirebirds #ornithology vimeo.com/1112690951

Excellent views of the Barred Warbler at @flamboroughbird.bsky.social this morning, big thanks to @david-aitken.bsky.social for finding it and hanging around to point it out. #yorkshirebirds #ukbirding
