A very confiding Olive-backed Pipit at South Gare this morning, happily feeding away in the long grass.
Only my 2nd in the UK and my 1st since 5 years ago at Flamborough. @teesbirds1 @nybirdnews

@OntheBeachUK what you did for the road sweep was amazing, you are bright stars in a dimly lit sky.

[Steve Farley @yorkshirewild]

@phil_smithson @teesbirds1 And what a fabulous day it was, really worth the aching legs.

[Philip Smithson @phil_smithson]

Red knot O9V or 09V, Seaton Snook on Saturday. I would be interested to know where it was ringed if anyone can help. @teesbirds1 @yorkshirewild

[Steve Farley @yorkshirewild]

@ChrisGPackham What! Why? Cows are supposed to be dumb, docile but no where near as dumb as the driver of this vehicle. Prosecute, dismiss and remember this disgusting cruelty, make it drive your passion to change our world.

[Steve Farley @yorkshirewild]

@phil_smithson @huddperegrines @WfldPeregrines Fabulous shots Phil and so lucky you were there at this very vulnerable stage, great team effort.
