Wardens and police have issued an urgent plea to dog owners after uncontrolled pets attacked a colony of Little Terns on the Norfolk coast, killing at least four chicks and endangering dozens more: https://t.co/frYryNbSiC

Great to team up with @spurnbirdobs in a joint Motus Tracking Project on Jack Snipe (supported by @britishbirds). The first birds were tagged in the #LDV last night and we're now looking forward to seeing what results this project unearths - thanks to everyone involved.

When an Arctic Tern chick has a Lumpfish which is too large to swallow.
It still didn't give up trying!

Lovely views of 2 Bewick’s swans off Moss lane yesterday with a minimum of 70 whoopers. Also lovely but brief views of the black redstart at Knot End-on-Sea takes me to 💯 for the year. @FyldeBirdClub

A pleasant few hours @Draycotebirding with Dad. Not been there for years! Ferruginous Duck showed well.

After a brief view of the Ross's Gull when it shot through my scope whilst seawatching this morning at Whitburn. I was pleased when it was refound at South Shields and I could spend some time enjoying it.

[Harry Coghill @CogHarry]

Amazing views of a Drake smew @tophilllow today on the D res. Also 1st winter little gull at North Duffield Carrs & an interesting duck associating with the wigeon (a wigeon hybrid?) but no sign of the American wigeon in the area.

A Halifax birding day out with @CogHarry with some Pintail madness!
1st went to Ringstone Edge to twitch two drakes found earlier, as it was a Halifax tick! Found 4 birds present!
Then checked Elland GP and had 3 females fly over with a Wigeon!
Just one other Halifax 2024 record!
