Plus a Slavonian Grebe at Covenham Reservoir this morning

Another video of the 2 Divers at Covenham

Added another lifer to my list - a Black-throated Diver. Seems to have a found a 'great' companion - Great Northern Diver at Covenham Reservoir this morning

Great photo and great you managed to see it this time 😀

Remind me again how you count them - is it count the number of wings and divide by 2? 🤔

Was an easy decision to make 😂

It was worth going back for another viewing. Definitely better than shopping 🥱

Bonus day off work today and rather than Christmas shopping decided I'd rather spend the day birding! Fantastic to watch the starling murmuration and the reflections on the water @northcavewet.bsky.social #ukbirding #Yorkshirebirding

It would be funny if this actually happens 🤔

Lots of Redwings at Nosterfield yesterday. Plus Jay and Fieldfare showing well @davidjcopeland.bsky.social #YorkshireBirding #ukbirding

😂 must like to sleep a lot!

😂 just take your thermals and waterproofs and you'll be ok! There's so many places to visit it's fitting it all in. We also went to Holme and Wells Point. Didn't have time to go to Holkham as I wanted to see if there were any Shorelarks.

Had a great weekend in North Norfolk a couple of weekends ago. Lots to see inc (distant) American Golden Plover and Water Pipit at Titchwell Marsh @davidjcopeland.bsky.social #Norfolkbirding #ukbirding

Yes think it was due to the weather being a bit damp. Although they did get up in the air again as a Sparrowhawk flew through. A good reason to come back though 😀

Fantastic - I need to go back as when we were there on Saturday they went straight into roost - just a few mini murmurations

Lots of Fieldfares (plus a few Redwings) at Blacktoft Sands today #ukbirding

Lots of squabbling I imagine!

Amazing to see the thousands of Starlings through the thermal last night at North Cave Wetlands @northcavewet.bsky.social #ukbirding

Had a good day despite a rainy late morning visit to Flamborough - very misty from the seawatch hide. Called in at North Cave on our way back - so just a short visit. We were in North Norfolk last weekend - had a great weekend. Hope you have a good trip 🤞

Sounds like you had a good morning 😊

Starlings just kept coming into roost at North Cave Wetlands this evening (sound on to hear their chatter) @northcavewet.bsky.social #ukbirding

Many thanks 😊

Nice to see you again too. It was fascinating to watch it - I was rooting for the small bird but it ended badly for them 😞
