Birder based in East Yorkshire. Local patch North Cave Wetlands (NCW).
This Jack Snipe was found on our reserve using a thermal imaging camera. Great to see and record it without disturbance.

One of the eight Whooper Swans that came into Crosslands Lake, NCW today was ringed in Iceland in August. Fantastic to be able to get instant feedback like this.

You know when people say record shot and it’s no such thing? Well not in this case, but I am so pleased that NCW finally scored Glossy Ibis today that I wanted to post this shot.

The people on site first thing were lucky to get good views of the Night Heron at North Cave Wetlands. Shortly after this it flew into vegetation and wasn’t see again up to 14:30.

Two years ago avian flu ripped through our reserve, we lost many Black headed Gulls and all Mediterranean Gulls, so it’s great to see at least 7 juveniles (3 families), this year. NCW, East Yorkshire.

It was hard to catch up with Whimbrels at NCW last year so it is good that there seems to be a few birds on the reserve regularly. These two from 5/5/25

Three new birds for the year at NCW today. Only photo is of the delightful Yellow Wagtail, a Sedge Warbler sang from deep in a bush. Best of all 4 Common Cranes flew over very distantly. Thanks to tip off from Alkborough for the latter.
