Highlight of yesterday's seawatch from Sandsend Quarries with @chrisgomersall1.bsky.social was the appearance of large mixed flocks of Little Gull and Kittiwake once the wind eased a bit. #birding #ukbirding

Clearest views I've ever managed up the coast from Kettleness, but not sure how far im seeing...are the tower blocks Sunderland or Hartlepool? And if so where is the final headland? Any Durham birders help me out?

A dash to Filey saw us descending to the Brigg in moonlight to get Purple Sandpiper. We equalled the record with a Barn Owl and broke it with an underwhelming Red-legged Partridge on the way home. New Yorkshire Bird race record of 157!

And a video of the Russian White-fronted Geese at North Duffield Ings

2. Did you know it’s possible to listen to animals underground? In the last few years, pioneering researchers have found ways to listen to soil soundscapes - and learning more about soil ecology as a consequence.

Our research group has a !NEW PAPER! out on soil ecoacoustics - The efficacy of acoustic indices for monitoring abundance and diversity in soil soundscapes in Ecological Indicators. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... A 🧵 on soil ecoacoustics...
