Snipe, Commondale.
Watchful eye on young, early this morning. Been a good year for showy birds here. @waderquest.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @yorkswildlife.bsky.social @northyorkmoors.bsky.social
Snipe song, early in the morning, Commondale. This adult entertaining me today, in its usual spot. Not so skulking this time of year. #birds #ukbirding @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

Golden plover with Captain Cook’s Monument. As viewed from Commondale Moor, across Percy Cross Rigg. Glorious 3 hour patch walk this morning. Breeze helped. 🥵 #birds #ukbirding @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social

Golden plover, Commondale Moor this morning, 5 mile loop. Three pairs of stonechat too. Not so many lapwing or curlew. One buzzard in the heat, fairly quiet. @northyorkmoors.org.uk @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social #birds #ukbirding

We've reached peak Sanderling for 2025!
A scarce wader inland, this beautiful summer plumaged bird was just down the road from our shop here in #Worcester a few days ago.
Heading for breeding grounds in the high Arctic.

Golden plover, Elm Ledge, Danby. Checked in with my nearest breeding pair of goldies this evening. One mobile chick, despite the influx of herring gulls on the moors recently. #birds #ukbirding @nybirdnews.bsky.social @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social

One of our resident curlews keeping watch one lazy afternoon. Do drive slowly along moorland and village routes, so many lapwing, curlew and snipe young are about. 👍 @northyorkmoors.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social @curlewaction.bsky.social
