Female mallard with three ducklings

Any day now, ducklings will begin to appear, and we need your help to monitor them. We are asking for records of mallard broods anywhere in the UK this year to help us understand how many ducklings make it to adulthood. Submit your sightings here: citsci.org/projects/ducklingwatch
Please share!

A pair of barn owls in flight. They are close together but looking in different directions. Below them scrub land and behind a line if thin trees. It is dusk.

Evening walk. Pair of barn owls in the field behind the village. #birds #nature #sussexbirds

Important statement from @kentwildlife.bsky.social about the way that the government is deliberately misrepresenting what has happened at Ebbsfleet.

Two kingfishers on a branch close to each other.

It was kingfisher chaos on the River Lea this morning at Hackney Marshes, with 3 flying around after each other. From what I could work out we had this pair and an additional female.

Curating a Starter Pack that will hopefully be useful to folk coming over to BlueSky and looking for all of the UK conservation orgs and recording societies go.bsky.app/Nget1LP Will keep adding to this. DM or reply to be added and please share.

Gorgeous photo! 😍

Love these pictures 🤍

When we first moved into our home this guy used to come and visit. The view has changed and we don't see beauties like this around here anymore sadly.
