Botanist and birder. I like sedges
@teesbirds.bsky.social does anyone know if Northern Experience Wildlife Tours (that run pelagics out of North Shields) are still operating? Their website is showing trips with spaces available but the booking system doesn’t work and they are not answering emails or the phone

We’ve got a wildflower walk at Middle Marsh on Sunday (10-12) led by brilliant local botanist Martin Allen. It promises to be really good. Click on the attached link for details and to book

Reed Warbler singing in the reeds by the biggest pond at Middle Marsh just now. The first here since the ponds were dug (we had them occasionally before)

My first visit in ages to South Gare. Very quiet. Most exciting thing was 1 Purple Sandpiper with a Turnstone towards the end of the lighthouse pier

🚨 620,000 songbirds were illegally trapped and killed in Cyprus in autumn 2024 alone.

A new report by @birdlifecyprus.bsky.social reveals mist net trapping is on the rise in the Republic of Cyprus, driven by organised trappers.

Action is needed now.

A prime objective of the Far Right is to roll back decades of hard-won environmental protections so that their Oligarch paymasters can reap greater profits. If Trump's British cheerleaders in Reform ever get a sniff of power, the same will happen here.
