You know when people say record shot and it’s no such thing? Well not in this case, but I am so pleased that NCW finally scored Glossy Ibis today that I wanted to post this shot.

Night Heron showed well this am at NCW - presumably the returning bird from last year
20.08.2025 07:11 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Would think it almost certainly is last year’s bird.

It’s been a bit quiet on the wader front at NCW so two beautiful Wood Sandpipers today were very welcome.

An adult Cuckoo at NCW today. It won’t be long before these leave the country.

Two years ago avian flu ripped through our reserve, we lost many Black headed Gulls and all Mediterranean Gulls, so it’s great to see at least 7 juveniles (3 families), this year. NCW, East Yorkshire.

It was hard to catch up with Whimbrels at NCW last year so it is good that there seems to be a few birds on the reserve regularly. These two from 5/5/25
06.05.2025 09:26 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Lots at NCW too. Warblers in general seem up - good news
04.05.2025 08:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Very well thanks - mainly at NCW but hopefully get to Spurn sometime. Hope you’re good too

Drake Garganey
Surely the best dabbling duck? Drake Garganey at NCW 3/5/25 - seems to have been an influx today.

The first Wheatear of the year at NCW is always a delight. This bird brightened a damp day 15/4/25

Three new birds for the year at NCW today. Only photo is of the delightful Yellow Wagtail, a Sedge Warbler sang from deep in a bush. Best of all 4 Common Cranes flew over very distantly. Thanks to tip off from Alkborough for the latter.
