The poor weather meant we couldn't get the nets out yesterday at WWT Washington Wetland Centre so we ended up doing a quick site survey instead. This unexpected Red Kite was a very nice surprise!

There seems to have been an explosion of Snowdrops at WWT Washington Wetland Centre! It's always a good day when you get your first sighting of a new year.

Had a lovely, gentle little rockpooling session this morning, and although there wasn't much around it was some of the most fun I've had in a good while

And the absolute LEAST surprising news of the year, my first ringed bird of 2026 is a Blue Tit. It genuinely looks like it's pouting!
