Right place right time for a change. #LongEaredOwl roosting along the #NorthNorfolk coast today #NorfolkBirding

Plenty of very active #BeardedTits at #CleyMarshes #NorfolkBirding today

Nice to find a #SnowBunting on #Cley beach this morning. An unusually mobile and flighty bird as it was chasing and catching flies #NorfolkBirding

Turtle Dove

Another lovely day #NorfolkBirding with an unexpected #TurtleDove

I agree it’s a disaster for wildlife, all that work on positive net gain for nature on every development gone out of the window, people want nature on their doorstep. But I don’t read it that environmental NGO’s don’t stand to benefit, although I admit it’s more than a bit vague …

The obvious problem is that nature organisations stand to benefit from the bill and £££ to them speaks louder than those of us who enjoy nature on our doorstep

It’s been a challenge to get a photo of one of our local #LittleOwls as they rarely come out in daylight. Just about enough light at 9.26pm last night to get a photo, so I’m very happy 😁#NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Thank you, that’s really helpful 👍

Thanks James that’s what iNaturalist said too but my photo looks more like the Stag beetle in my Insect guide (Paul Brock) 🤔

Sorted, I’ve requested a square in an area I know reasonably well

I tried to log in to register a few days ago but I couldn’t get past the ‘prove you’re a human’ test 😂 I’ll try again …

Female stag beetle

Another exciting moment by the pond, a female #StagBeetle crawled out from under a rotting log, appeared to have a drink from the pond then returned to the log again #NorthNorfolk

So excited the camera picked up frog activity last noght in my new pond 🐸🐸😁

Pool party! The new pond gives me hours of entertainment but unfortunately the dragonflies don’t get a look in #NorthNorfolk

Warning over risk to endangered birds' nests from dogs Conservationists are warning of an increase in recent weeks of the nesting sites of endangered breeding waders, such as the curlew, being destroyed by dogs.

Mistle thrush

Always a joy to see a #MistleThrush from the bedroom window and they're quite regular visitors here but this one was so close I struggled to get it in the frame! Raiding the Amelanchier tree for ripened berries. Taken through closed window #NorfolkBirding

So thrilled with how successful my new wildlife pond is after just 3 1/2 months, it’s so popular with birds & starting to look like it’s always been there, I set up a wildlife camera this afternoon - I am of course hoping for some rarities 😁#NorthNorfolk

Wow 😍

This little story about Labour’s swift brick u-turn is getting enormous readership - so @teamlabouruk.bsky.social it will be hurting you. Such a simple, positive, happy, cost-free measure to introduce

A treat to see the #BootedEagle drifting high over #BayfieldEstate #NorthNorfolk around midday today #NorfolkBirding

Temminck’s stint

At last a closer view of a #TemmincksStint at #Cley #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

Extremely distant #RedBackedShrike in heat haze at #Weybourne today #NorfolkBirding

Thanks Viv, I expect there’s a better way than I’m doing it but I haven’t been able to crack this one yet. It seems a right faff at the moment trying to post photos to Bluesky 🤔

I stupidly bought a MacBook (always had an HP until now) and when I click to add a photo on Bluesky it will only access the Photo Library not my files where the originals are so it’s an Apple/Bluesky thing I think

Well these photos were sharp and in focus until I had to download them to my photo album on my phone then upload them to Bluesky from that album which makes them crash in quality sadly, wish I could post them straight from laptop

And I love our pantile roof which has lots of little spaces for birds to nest, we’ve had 4 #HouseSparrow nests and a #Starling nest so far And our first fledglings have appeared #NorthNorfolk #NorfolkBirding

This has absolutely made my day! A first for the new garden - #Linnets!!! A pair of Linnets gorging on the dandelion seeds which I left alone in the lawn which I'm transforming into a wildflower meadow, such a great result and makes it so worthwhile #NorfolkBirding

Thanks Paul 😊
