@DaelpixPhotos @RSPBLeightonM I see them every year, unusual to take three goes.

A trip just up the A6, great to see a family of Peregrines, but this juvenile was the star. After continually calling and being ignored by a nearby parent, she ( I think) started to look fed up. @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @wickedauntjane @BBCSpringwatch

First trip to RSPB Bempton this year. good to see more Puffins than recently. So many fabulous birds, yet at the mention of a Puffin people were pushing and shoving as though their lives depended on seeing one.@Natures_Voice @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @wickedauntjane

[Janice Sutton @jsuttj]

Great to see so many Little Terns in North wales, many nesting again after losing the first attempts in the storms. @Natures_Voice @GronantTerns @wickedauntjane @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK

Just love Yellow Wagtails, pity they nearly always decide to show on a manure heap. photo near Rufford Lancs 30/5/2024. @Natures_Voice @BirdGuides @BirdWatchingMag @wickedauntjane

So far it's been raining for 48 hours, lucky we went to Barrow in Furness on Tuesday to look for Small Blue butterflies .Not as many on the wing as last year but always great to see.@savebutterflies @wickedauntjane

[Janice Sutton @jsuttj]

Good decision yesterday to pop up to Gait Barrows, looks like Summer is over this morning. Plenty of Butterflies , including Duke of Burgundy, Brimstone and Speckled Yellow Moth. @savebutterflies @BC_Lancs @wickedauntjane

[Janice Sutton @jsuttj]

Wood Warbler, having dipped last year, great to hear that familiar song, in a North Wales forest.@BBCSpringwatch @wickedauntjane @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @Natures_Voice

[Janice Sutton @jsuttj]

Great to see the Pied Flycatchers back for another season near Chorley after missing for a while. Even better when they're just a short trip from home. @BirdGuides @RareBirdAlertUK @Natures_Voice @chorleynats @wickedauntjane

[Janice Sutton @jsuttj]

Love these little guys, flushed onto the last remaining dry ground at high tide.@wickedauntjane @RSPB_Ribble
