Goldfinch (Male)
Taken earlier today while out enjoying the winter sunshine.
I'm finding the SAD getting bad at the mo, but a brisk 8ml walk through icy rain and into the eventual glorious sunshine helped blow some cobwebs away 🌦☀️🐦😁

Juvenile Herring Gull with its catch
I watched this bird for a good 10 mins trying to swallow this fish, and then when it couldn't, I watched it fail to take off with it too 😂

What a lovely idea! Printing & Posies at Newcastle's City Stadium Wildflower Meadow on Saturday with @wild Intrigue & Northern Print. Following the scything of the meadow folk could print & takeaway posies from the cuttings. Created by Wild Intrigue & local people. #wildflowermeadow

3 Sand Martin chicks in a drainage hole of a stone wall
These guys normally nest in large sandy banks, but here in Newcastle, we have a colony in an old stone wall!

Sand Martin chick being fed by one of it's parents, from Friday morning.
There were two chicks in here a couple of days before, so hopefully, one has fledged, and this one will soon follow (if it hasn't already!)

Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) shouting at the world!
I love these guys. Don't let their tiny size fool you, though. These guys are our most common, and one of the loudest birds in the UK.

They normally nest in sandy banks, but here in #Newcastle, they nest in an old stone retaining wall at the end of the Quayside!

Juvenile male Bullfinch
I love these guys. They normally hang out in the tops of trees and are shy, but not this young lad 😁

1. Broad Bodied Chaser Dragonfly: This is a young male. The powder blue on his abdomen is just starting to show
2 & 3. Damselflies: These are mating pairs, with the male above in a 'mate guard' to keep other males away while the female lays gets eggs.

Mute Swan cob getting ready to see his girlfriend?
She has been nest sitting, and hopefully, they have eggs in there.
Meanwhile he has been guarding the River Ouseburn and doing lots of patrolling and shouting and displaying at all perceived threats.

Mallard (male)
This guy seems to have taken up residence on Ouseburn Farm's orchard pond. I've seen him there all week. I thought he had a mate hidden in the reeds, but nope, it's just him

Mute Swan pair
We didn't have a nesting pair on the Ouseburn last year, but these guys look like they're starting to build a nest on the slipway behind Ouseburn Farm Newcastle
Fingers crossed for eggs! 🤞

Fluff ball aka Long-tailed Tit, from this morning's stroll through #wildouseburn . My first decent shot of one as they never sit still long enough for you to focus 😂
