So this bloke said to me, “I’m going to attack you with the neck of a guitar”....I said. Is that a fret?....

Nice to catch up with a Corn Bunting today at Thornborough Henges @NosterfieldLNR I didn’t manage to see one last year sadly such a declining bird, but lovely to see and hear the song again 😁 @nybirdnews @teesbirds1

@GeoffRobertson9 @nybirdnews @twitcherspud @teesbirds1 Hi Geoff, this pair has a nest @twitcherspud farmyard (Hudswell) I know he’s still busy lambing but worth sending a DM to him, they’ll be the easiest to see otherwise they are around the area (mostly on Spuds Mod land) so can be tricky. Hope this helps

[Stephen #lovecrisps @stephenhustwick]

Nice to spend some time watching @twitcherspud Redstarts back & forth feeding the little ones, seemed to be providing plenty of grub for them 👍🤪😀 @nybirdnews @teesbirds1

[Stephen #lovecrisps @stephenhustwick]

Very distant and mobile (for my pics) but fabulous to see these White-Winged Black Terns at Nosterfield (well Ladybridge) this evening, still seemed to be feeding well in the mizzle ☔️🤪 @nybirdnews @teesbirds1 @NosterfieldLNR
