Love watching either birds or Sunderland AFC. Don't have much success with either! Live in York.
Perfect day at @flamboroughbird.bsky.social for #Migweek. Birds fresh in and a great guided walk around the headland. Thanks to the organisers.

Nice surprise this lunchtime in Rufforth. I've never seen a grass snake this big. They look huge when they're all stretched out.

Just gone to buy my migfest ticket @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social and seen they're sold out!!! I've managed to book accommodation and even a table at the Crown. Doh. If anyone knows of any spare tickets going I'd be super grateful for a message. @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social
