Since joining @bsky.app sadly I've been plagued with impersonators trying to scam and fraud my followers . . . the latest iteration is below . While they say they are a 'fanpage' , I can assure you that is not the case !

Petition: Ban driven grouse shooting petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
A few rich folk want to shoot birds and so they KILL everything else+ show no respect for any rare bird or mammal they burn swathes of heather-contributing to polution +floods+distasters we keep seeing. Ive signed will u

Feels quite profound to live through the global extinction of a bird in your own region. Last one was the Great Auk about 170 years ago. I remember tourists travelling to see Slender-billed Curlews a few hours flight from London; trip reports & photos in the magazines.

For #wildflowerhour not sure if this counts? but was surprised and to see rhododendron flowers in Sheringham park .

Just a reminder to Norfolk birders joining bluesky there's a Norfolk birding feed you can add to your feeds, if you use #NorfolkBirding it will also be picked up by the national UK birding feed too, no need to use both hashtags.

How to take part in Wildflower Hour which is EVERY Sunday 8-9pm. During the week find an open flower (wild or naturalised, not planted) from anywhere across Britain & Ireland & share on Sunday evening using #wildflowerhour! Fancy an extra challenge? See if you can find ten blooms for #thewinter10!

Tonight, the Woodcock Moon rises. 🌕

Folklore whispers of Woodcocks awaiting this moonlit night to cross the seas and arrive in huge numbers on our shores.

It was believed tiny Goldcrests journeyed with them—riding on their backs!

Look up for the final Supermoon of the year.

Moonrise: 15:29*

Well how lovely to find #featheredfriday I don’t have a camera so here is my favourite recent. An actual image of the Long Billed Dowitcher among the godwits. from Jon @norfolkbirder.bsky.social
How long I have sat staring at those godwits This wonderful photo identifies the difference #nwtcley

If you're seeing "Invalid Handle" on your profile, this should resolve on its own — thanks for your patience!! 🦋

Taking some time to stop, let your eyes adjust, look & listen. A walk at Pretty Corner woods this evening as part of the Norfolk Protected Coast Partnership Dark Skies festival.
