Some images of one of the two Dusky Warblers present in South Landing over the last few days. Often feeding high up in sycamores though occasionally showing well and calling lower down.

Four Barn Owl boxes put up in the Thornton le Dale Parish this morning following a couple in Allerston last week. Happy to assist Richard Scullion in this project. Let’s hope they are occupied next year🤞

13/ The Government's consultation on banning moorland burning is now online here.

Make sure you send in your views on why this is great but needs toughening further - you can be sure that the grouse moor owners & their lobbyists will be trying to weaken it! -

11/ The North York Moors, dominated by around 15 huge grouse moor estates, is generally comprised of shallower peat than other parts of the English uplands.

But the new 30cm rule ought to bring far more of these estates in scope of the burning ban.

@bsbibotany.bsky.social Signs of Spring. First wild daffodils just emerging in North Yorks at Appleton le Moor and also some Yellow Star of Bethlehem.

Karoo Gariep Nature Reserve in North Cape South Africa. A fantastic place to see Aardvarks, Aardwolves, Porcupines, Cape Fox, Wild Cats. Great birding destination also and accomodation.

A few of the Yorkshire birders slumming it on Flock to Marion 2025, another great trip to these sub Antarctic Islands. Many unusual cetacean species, albatrosses, petrels, penguins and shearwaters.

Lead has been poisoning our wildlife and communities for decades – but now we have a chance to turn things around.

With a crucial review into lead ammunition finally at an end, will you join me in calling on @SteveReedMP to help make lead history?
