Sad news. Manx Birdlife reports that the number of choughs breeding on the IOM 🇮🇲 has fallen by 24% since the 2014/15 census.

For me, no trip back to the Island is ever complete without a trip to Langness or Scarlett to see these stunning birds.

Two very different books: one fiction, one non-fiction; one firmly rooted in a single, closely defined location, the other celebrating different cultures across the globe.
And yet the common themes and shared passions are striking. I can’t recommend them highly enough. 📚

Lots of Ringed Plovers foraging among the pebbles on the incoming tide at Ramsey - and one interloper. A visiting winter plumage Sanderling, I think.

Quite a few of these out on the moor this afternoon. Fox Moth caterpillars, perhaps?

Ruby-tailed wasp (Chrysis Ruddii) on our porch windowsill. Beautiful insect. A first for our #YorkshireDales garden, I think. Are there any experts out there who can offer a more detailed ID?
