That reminds me of this clip!

Yep. That's usually the best I get!

Great photo and video Alan.

Thanks Dawn.

Thanks Dave. It certainly is a good looking bird.

Presumed leucistic blackbird unless I'm missing something crazy!! Looks like two different birds in the light. Any ideas welcomed? @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Stonking even!!

Beautiful calling tree pipit near York @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Single tree pipet at Strensall Common. Constantly singing and displaying between two trees and a stocking mistle thrush @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Garden warbler and lesser whitethroat still singing today on the bridle path between Knapton and Rufforth @yorkbirding.bsky.social

I was interested until I saw there were 7 Morrissey albums on the list (4 solo albums and 3 The Smiths albums)!

Lesser whitethroat and garden warbler on patch at Knapton/Rufforth. I didn't have either on patch last year, so really pleased @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Hi Tim, there were redwing at red house woods last week. Not much else around that you won't get easily get elsewhere so not sure it's worth the drive. I'm can check again this week if you're keen.

Great views of a lesser whitethroat at Flamborough this morning at Highcliffe Manor. At least 4 different birds present. Excuse the terrible phone video! 2 whimbrel still on south landing beach and barn owl hunting over the fields @northyorksbirds.bsky.social @flamboroughbird.bsky.social

Amazing view of this huge hare this morning in York.

Song thrush this morning. No better song on a mornings walk. Lots of blackcap and willow warbler back on patch in Rufforth/Knapton @yorkbirding.bsky.social

A flowchart for identifying pipits. Where is it? Up a tree? It is a tree pipit. Is it near water? It is a water pipit. Near some rocks? It is a rock pipit. Is it in Blyth? It is a Blyth’s pipit. Is it Somewhere else? Yes. Who found it? Richard. It is Richard’s pipit. Not Richard. What is its belly like? buff-it is a buff bellies pipit. Not that buff. It is a meadow pipit.

Handy guide for pipit identification.

Certainly would get the pulse going!

FREE scope with stay on case, 20-60x eyepiece and tripod as pictured to any young birder just starting out only. Pick up only or meet if not too far. #NEbirding, @durhambirdclub.bsky.social,@ntbirdclub.bsky.social

A pair of blue tits sorting their nest kept me entertained for over an hour this lunch time at Rufforth. Lots of yellowhammer and skylarks around. Fly over shellduck was a nice surprise. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Amazing Chris. I hope you had your hood up!

We have frog spawn!! #spring #frogs #pondlife

American Wigeon showing extremely well in East Cottingwith, York. Egyptian goose and loads of pink feet still around too @nybirdnews.bsky.social @yorkbirding.bsky.social

I wish I had!
