Anything birds, moths, butterflies and photography. Lincs based.
A couple of hours were spent locally today. Goosander is a new local one for me and a Pochard. Also, a controversial lifer, for me, being a Ring Necked Parakeet.

Cracking day at Snettisham today, starting with a Leucistic Oyster Catcher, then a very obliging Red Necked Phalarope. Teamed up with @mattdenial.bsky.social to find the Greater Short-toed Lark. Then nipped to see the Lesser Yellow Leg.

Had the absolute pleasure of watching @alanball101.bsky.social ringing some of the local birds at the weekend. They are a lot smaller close up.

Very quiet at the minute in the trap. A couple of new visitors this time. A Garden Rose Tortrix and a Flame Carpet. That's the 3rd of each of these species.

Managed a cracking photo of a Wood Sandpiper at @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social. We need more rain as water levels are very low. But still plenty to look out for.

Had an amazing time moth trapping at #Gibraltarpoint yesterday morning. Privet Hawk, and Buff Tip being my favourite. Thank you @lincswildlife.bsky.social the breakfast was amazing. Keep an eye out for the next event.
Then between the rain, managed to see my first Grasshopper Warbler.

Bonsall Circular | Derbyshire Bird Tour
Starting from the Bonsall community car park we would walk a circular route through farmland, moorland and open grassland, this walk is home to a great variety of wildlife. Around 7 km in length this walk is a wonderful way to enjoy the area and escape the day to day madness. The car park asks for a voluntary donation of just £2, so help with the maintenance, it's great value. Sections of the walk are a little uneven and steep so you must be steady on your feet and have good walking boots or shoes. A minimum of 3 people is required to make to walk viable so a refund would be offered if that number of guests isn't reached.
