@ImogenForster2 @swifts_uk @curlewcalls That’s right. Recent fledglings often struggle a little bit and find themselves grounded. It’s usually best to take them to a rehabber but this one seemed fairly strong and recovered quite quickly.

@manxmannin A stunning shot, Peter - amazing!

@AK_BridgeLake Thank you, Ann. I used to enjoy Twitter but I don’t think it’s right to stay given the direction it has taken recently. Looking forward to finding a lot of the old community on Bsky.

@manxmannin Stunning, Peter - such a helpful shot in terms of identifying and aging harriers too.

The sun just beginning to break through on a more overcast morning here on the #IsleofMan 🇮🇲

Good to be ‘home’ on the Island - even if it is just for a few days. 🇮🇲

Please take the time to watch this - sickening though it is. Surely it’s time to demand the licensing of grouse moors in England?

Good to be back at the Point of Ayre on a breezy afternoon - and the seals seemed to be enjoying themselves too!

A good day for #moths and #butterflies in our patch of the #YorkshireDales this afternoon.

The Norber Erratics here in the #YorkshireDales Hard to believe they weren’t carefully lowered into place by a giant hand!
