More on Teesmouth seal pup deaths, suggesting sewage effluent and legacy of industrial pollution may have exacerbated natural mortality. Typical comedy response from Northumbrian Water saying they couldn't possibly be responsible for faecal bacteria in estuary.

Black Grouse has successfully bred on the North York Moors, confirming the species' first nesting success in the area since the 1840s. Read BirdGuides's report on the monitoring, habitat restoration, and the future prospects for the re-establishing population of this striking gamebird in Yorkshire.

Yellow-browed Bunting trapped, ringed and released at the Swannery. It's flown to the hedge which runs alongside the Swannery grounds and the bird may be viewable from the permissive path heading west from Grove Lane.
