Bittern on the ice today @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social reedbed screen. I may have missed this bird at first but thankfully Tim Scott pointed it out to me. It finally crept out of the reeds after we'd watched in for abut 20 minutes @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Great to see almost 2000 plants for Nidderdale National Landscape leaving the habitat creation nursery at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social Much of the material was collected in Nidderdale, bulked up in the nursery, and will be used to enhance a network of new upland ponds & scrapes.

A few hours at a grey and cold @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social yesterday.
A few goldies, a few pinks, one reddy, one shely, and a cettis (golden plover, pink-footed geese, redwing and shelduck😂).
Highlight of the day tho was a large flock (4/500) of fieldfare on the moors on the drive over.
