A Great Spotted Woodpecker has been drumming in the ancient Oak trees around Moreland's Meadow and Belvoir Forest, Belfast, in recent days. Just managed to catch a brief glimpse/photo of one this morning @nibirds @BTO_Antrim

A bit far out for my camera but the first time I've seen a Smew - @RSPBNI Portmore Lough #NorthernIreland @nibirds. (Brief glimpse of the Hen Harrier too.)

In Belvoir Forest, Belfast #NorthernIreland this afternoon I heard a tapping (rather than drumming) sound coming from an Oak tree and looked up to see this! @nibirds @RSPBNI

First Cuckoo I have heard this year - at Murlough, Co Down. Just about able to see it in the middle of a gorse bush, using full zoom (400mm equiv). Sorry about the camera noise. #birds #nibirds #🪶#belfast #northernireland #ireland #ukwildlife #nature #nationaltrust #murlough

A bit of a break from the lizards, today I visited the RSPB reserve at Belfast Harbour and was delighted to see a Spoonbill. It has been there for 7 weeks and I'm only getting to see it now (heavily cropped/distant photo) #birds #nibirds #belfast #northernireland #ireland #ukwildlife #nature #🪶

Returning from today's walk along the Lagan, #Belfast, a very obliging Kingfisher flew into a nearby bush just as I passed Lester's Dam! Such a beautiful bird!

@nibirds @RSPBNI Great Spotted Woodpecker
This elegant bird, with its striking black and white plumage and distinct, upturned beak is a rare sight in Northern Ireland, more commonly found on England’s east/south coast.
You may recognise it as the star of our RSPB logo!
