Birder in Scarborough district, particularly Castle Hill/Harbour/Scalby Mills. Shetland/Out Skerries/Foula are fab! Foreign trips & travel. Yorks CCC & real ale

@norfolkbirdtour Familiar story. Same in North Yorks

No need for a bird of the year poll...

Or have we called it too early?

A quiet week on the moth front in the garden this week,
but this morning produced a couple of migrants, Silver Y and this Hummingbird Hawkmoth! My fifth Hawkmoth of the year in the garden. Just after it's release 30 Whooper Swans flew south overhead. @castlebirder

Decided on a change from Shetland this autumn in favour of the Western Isles. Day 2 here on South Uist with @chrisgbradshaw @castlebirder & @DarraghHudson was quiet until an evening check of a 200+ flock of Golden Plover produced three cracking Buff-breasted Sands. Good start.

An small increase in GBB & almost inevitably a new ringed 1cy GBB Gull seen at Scalby Mills, Scarborough yesterday. Ringed in Norway as a chick on the 9/7/2024

Say hello to the Mendip Farmer’s Hunt’s new Hunt Master, Sam Colburn.

Filmed by @mendiphuntsabs last year shortly after assaulting sabs for which landed him with a criminal record.

Be a shame if you RT and his face went everywhere..

Starting to visit Scalby Mills more often again. Well rewarded today with a cracking Juvenile Caspian Gull & a 2cy Med Gull amongst the commoner gulls . @nybirdnews

The Bearded Vulture that famously toured Britain during summer 2020 has been seen again in the Swiss Alps, some 1,200 km away from her last known location in East Sussex: https://t.co/xGECkpTqxN

"We're absolutely disgusted to see the EU challenging this sandeel closure. Our seabirds are struggling. We've seen a 62% decline across species, a quarter of puffins lost, our seabirds need these fish to feed their young & survive."https://t.co/La3mnzKAl5 @RSPBNews @RSPBEngland

A glowing Wood Warbler on the rocks below South Light @FI_Obs this afternoon - they really do shine!

[Steven Wignill @castlebirder]

@MalleyAndrew @SboroGottLad Yes, great to see you, as always👍

[Steven Wignill @castlebirder]

Nice day out locally with Steve Hey today. After a couple of Ring Ouzels at Stoupe Brow we tried the Emperor Moth pheromone along Helwath Road, Harwood Dale Forest. Quick results.
