I've had some good Waders on my Ruswarp patch over the last week. A Dunlin in the creek on the flood plain this afternoon was only my 5th patch record. No sign of last night's Greenshank. @whitbynats.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #northyorksbirds

Fledgling barn swallows, being fed by parent, earlier this morning at Scaling Dam. Given the wind conditions, the adult’s ability to put its head right in was somewhat amazing. 💙 #birds #ukbirding @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @yorkswildlife.bsky.social

Stipule shape distinctive.
A local speciality; Bithynian Vetch for #wildflowerhour #peafamily challenge. Nearly lost from its local site, but annual cutting & raking has worked wonders. Thanks to @whitbynats.bsky.social and @northyorkmoors.org.uk .

Always beautiful birds, especially after a bit of patience. Traffic diversion in place here, very, very noisy and busy but a brief lull around 5pm. #birds #ukbirding @northyorkmoors.org.uk @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
