A beautiful spring day full of Red List farmland birds on the Yorkshire Wolds today. Double figures of Corn Bunting, Grey Partridge, Yellow Wag, masses of Skylarks, Yellowhammers and Linnets, and even a few of these (I never see Tree Sparrows any more)

'Feels like a Crane day' I said to a mate this morning. 3hrs later... SE over Carnaby, SW of Bridlington, at 1310 😎 #vismig #migration

It's Dotterel passage time!
Species appears to be affected by #climatechange but not necessarily in ways that might be expected.

13 Scaup flew up the Humber in the rain this morning (11 followed by a pair) but the handful of grounded Whimbrel at Pyewipe showed better, and the SEO appeared again late on #humberbirds

Dotterel! I've walked miles this week and it's my birthday tomorrow, so I was over the moon when this bobby dazzler flew past me this afternoon. Just west of Grimsby at Europarc

Impressive showers passing through Lincolnshire Skies today: nice to look at, not nice to get caught in #rain #hail #rain bow 🌈 #stormhour #loveukweather

Stumbled across a colony of Early Purple Orchids in a north Lincs wood today, at least 260 spikes. And then another 20 in a wood a mile away 🌸

This oak made me smile today. Not huge, but it has oak trees for arms! #thicktrunktuesday 🌳

At least seven species of mining bee on the garden dandelions: Tawny, Ashy, er, Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy... 🌼🐝🌼 #salopobs #solitarybees

That time of year again when I'm not the only bald, wispy-chinned resident of #salopobs - the first brood of Moorhens are out! Four chicks today 🐤

A gloriously still, frosty morning at #salopobs full of birdsong including one I thought I'd missed this year: a Willow Warbler moving slowly west along the hedges 🎶

Raptorfest from #salopobs this evening culminated in this Osprey NW over Berrington, possibly Craig Reed's bird from the Wyre Forest earlier (fair swap for last month's stork 😉). Also 3 Gos, 8 Red Kites, 30+Buzzards...

Finally!!!! Moments ago near Alix, Alberta. Aurora and a partial lunar halo as the moon sets and the sun rises.

Got a closer look at the inhabitant of our Barn Owl box today... #notaBarnOwl . Fingers crossed her two eggs hatch into little wonders like last year's twitter.com/saloplarus/sta…
