Nocturnal passage of Common Scoter now also underway this week @yorkbirding.bsky.social
On Tuesday evening our ringing team recaught a Woodcock on Wheldrake Ings after dark, and after checking our database, it turns out that we ringed this individual at the same site (as a first year) in January 2019 – so seven years after ringing and now almost eight years old @yorkbirding.bsky.social
Lucky this morning. Wandered into the Scaling Dam hide to see LRP only to find Mal & Bill watching a couple of Cranes on far bank. Unfortunately they almost immediately departed to the west after flying past the hide. Scaup and LRP still there. @nybirdnews.bsky.social
Good to see a Long Eared Owl at Saltholme this afternoon and also 2 Egyptian Geese and a Ruddy Shelduck opposite Saltholme substation. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social
@teesbirds.bsky.social @durhambirdclub.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social Ruddy Shellduck opposite Saltholme sub station this morning, east of water, with Egyptian Geese x2

Whooper Swan spring passage continues through the #LDV with another large movement on Monday evening and Tuesday morning (a total of 1,200+ birds have now been recorded moving through the site since the 1st March) with flocks of Pink-feet also on the move north-west @yorkbirding.bsky.social
New sighting of a colour-ringed #LDV Shelduck just in – a first year male (ringed at Bank Island in March 2023) has moved north-west and has been seen at Grimsargh Wetland, Lancashire - yet another movement across to Lancashire and the west @yorkbirding.bsky.social
Velvet scoter still at Redcar, east of cinema. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEbirding #UKbirding
Common scoter and LRP on scaling dam. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social
Many thanks to everyone who has purchased a copy of our new book ‘Birds of the LDV’ and for all the fantastic feedback we have received, which we really appreciate thank you. 100% of the cost of this book (£25) goes directly back into conservation projects across the reserve @yorkbirding.bsky.social
A Shelduck colour-ringed by our team (from a cannon-net catch at Bank Island on the 26th January this year) was photographed at Braunschweig, Germany last week – an interesting rapid easterly movement in contrast to most of our other resightings @yorkbirding.bsky.social
Ringed Plover, Marske today. @teesbirds.bsky.social @teeswildlife.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #UKBirding #NEBirding
Watching this Teal, when it turned, the colours changed on its wing and head.

Ok, they're not the best images, I wasn't ready of course, and heavily cropped due to the distance. My 1st green sandpiper (i.d.'d by knowledgeable people), and marsh harrier #Flask lake reeds @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social OM-1 & 1.4TC & 300mm f4
One of 3 Cranes through Filey today (2 north at the Gap, KC, PMS) and this one south a bit later. 1 or 2 Red Kites and maybe 3000+ Starlings.
