Had a very enjoyable trip up to Maidens over the weekend and the western sandpiper showed very well before being flushed by four police officers, maybe Trump was frightened of hitting it with a wayward golf swing? @louise-greenwood.bsky.social

Biggest numbers seem to be around in mornings, though birds are present all day

Last week this lapwing was at Martin Mere @wwtworldwide.bsky.social, originally ringed as a chick at Elmley NNR, Kent in May. While a first winter male pintail enjoyed a good wash. @louise-greenwood.bsky.social

Enjoyed a lovely sunny day at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea yesterday seeing 27 little auks passing in 1.5 hours as well as velvet scoter and long-tailed duck while the waders put on a show below, especially the stunning golden plover on the sea coal @louise-greenwood.bsky.social
