Nice to see six barnacle geese at Margrove this afternoon, not a common bird there at all so all the more special. Female pochard still on site in with a decent number of tufties, plus three shovelers present. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

This Knot is still present today on the riverbank south of Bubwith Bridge (viewable from the bridge layout looking south). 40+ Redshank, Spotted Redshank, 30-40 Ruff and 200 Black-tailed Godwits are also present in the area + 249 Whooper Swans on nearby Derwent Cottage Farm @yorkbirding.bsky.social
Last night we also had a surprise when this juvenile Knot found its way into our nets. This species is only just annual in the #LDV and is only the second ever to have been ringed on the reserve – one to look out for if you're visiting at the weekend @yorkbirding.bsky.social
