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.
