Arthur. You beautiful boy. You had a rough few months, but those beady peepers never lost their sparkle. We're going to miss you so much, sweet little creeper. We love you, always. 28.09.2021 - 30.08.2024 💔

Wild thunderstorm right now!! Probably hard to hear over the rain, but it's been rumbling almost non-stop for the past 10 minutes! And just constant flashes...

We’re super excited for #Migfest24 this weekend, everything coming together nicely, marquee is up and there are plenty of birds around for everyone to enjoy! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow onwards BTO

Think I might put the #NotMoth trap out tonight. See what it brings..... Got a packet of cheese and onion crisps leftover from Migfest, so that's my lure sorted.

I've just been immersed in a mixed flock of Long-tailed Tits, Great Tits, Blue Tits and Willow Warblers! Two Pied Flycatchers joined briefly, then a couple of Spot Flys to balance things out! Cracking start to the day - just a shame I have to work now. 🙃🫠

We’re still recovering from an absolutely EPIC #Migfest24 weekend, but to help you get over the post Migfest blues, save the date (and book your accommodation) for #Migfest25 FRIDAY 12th September SATURDAY 13th September SUNDAY 14th SEPTEMBER Ticket and event info in 2025

Sweet baby Walter. It took you a while to grow into those satellite dishes on the side of your head, but you got there in the end! The house feels very empty without your beautiful presence. We're going to miss you so much. Sleep tight. 11.10.2021 - 12.09.2024 💔

This beauty fluttered down next to me just after we'd finished burying Walter. 💜

Nothing like a little "tsu-weet" with your coffee in a morning. 😊 #Autumn

Very much looking forward to my day off tomorrow. The joys of being self-employed!! Hoping to spend the day mopping up all the birds that haven't been found today... 😆😆

Check out this #migfest24 highlights on this amazing short video created by Things To Do In Yorkshire over the weekend. youtu.be/_XZfYzrqNsI #migfest25 will be held over the weekend of 12/13/14 September, so save the date, and ticket information will be released in the Spring.

More top work by our brilliant residential volunteers & staff. This time, creating a pond in Schipper's Field. Rarity predictions so far range from Swinhoe's Storm Petrel and Egyptian Plover to Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper and a thirsty Ovenbird... what do you reckon?

A couple of gravid Garden Cross Spiders (Araneus diadematus) found recently. Amazing to see the variation in colour! The pale one was really quite striking in person (in spider?). I've never seen one so pale. Both beautiful ladies! 😍

Jeremy Clarkson looks stunning under the pink moonlight...... 😍

I've been meaning to pop the top off this chap for ages! Finally got round to it today.

- which one are you holding? - salt. - hello? yes, it’s the pepper grinder wedged in his anus…

😆😆

Getting rather excited for my Costa Rica trip. I've just booked an overnight trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest with a local birding company part way through the holiday - should be amazing! 🦜🐦🐦‍⬛🦅🦆🦉🍸🪳
