Wow.

Woodland birds John.

Great times. 😊

That’s a fair old haul and a great mix of species.

Osprey flew south over the house at Mapplewell at 1825. New bird for the house list. 😀

Strange movement John. A new bird for Tiree?

That’s a great capture Peter. 😮

Mapplewell this morning. Great White Egret over the house and a Hobby chasing 3 Swift in last 15 minutes. #birds #barnsley #yorkshirebirding

Wilthorpe valley this morning in light rain. 33 Chiffchaff, 6 Blackcap and a Garden Warbler feeding up and will be making a move when the weather improves. #birds #migration #yorkshirebirds

Tree shut down several weeks earlier this year due to the drought. It happened a few years ago when we had really hot weather. #trees #climate #drought #yorkshire

Brilliant John. I came home too early. 😂

Unseasonably hot weather up here on Tiree. Beaches not too busy with humans but a scattering of wader from Greenland 🇬🇱 and Iceland 🇮🇸 on the move south. #birds #migration

Well captured and a great image Peter. Surely worth entering this in some photography competition.

Oban sunset last night before heading out to Tiree today.

Nice plumages bird John. We are coming to Tiree this Saturday for the week so hope to catch up and perhaps something new in?

Juvenile Black Redstart on roof near Longwall Close, Mapplewell, Barnsley at 0835 then flew towards Mapplewell Coop. Nice one for the house list. 😀

My favourite bird song and can be heard by just about everyone in the UK.

Brilliant work and information.

Really late, but I flushed a female Red Grouse of this nest while completing my final survey on RSPB Dove Stone a couple of days ago. Perhaps a second clutch after an earlier failure? #birds #darkpeak #rspb

Quite a graffiti statement in the tunnel under the A616 while heading for Wharncliffe Woods this morning. Nature is always taken for granted and not taken seriously. It’s part of our life and future. Open your eyes and ears. #nature #health #wellbeing

A late Golden Plover nest found while surveying on Dove Stone. Initially found with 2 eggs mid-May and revisited with now these 4 eggs an accurate hatch date of 14th June can be worked out. Probably a repeat nest? #birds #wader #blanketbog @wadertales.bsky.social

After recent rains the pools on the blanket bog on Dove Stone have filled following a very dry spring this year. #darkpeak #conservation

Red Kite just gone over Mapplewell flying south-east between showers. #birds @barnsleybsg.bsky.social

Captured that moment 👍

Anyone for Labrador Tea! A main bush and a few satellites nearby still surviving on Dove Stone. #darkpeak #blanketbog #plants

Blanket Bog pools on RSPB Dove Stone now becoming very dry with the run of dry weather but hopefully some re-wetting with the rain forecast for the next couple of days. #dovestone #darkpeak #blanketbog

That would be good Daryll. Thank you.

The one that didn’t hatch! A Golden Plover nest that had previously 4 eggs. Adults and young nearby. Most nests hatch all eggs each year on RSPB Dove Stones. #darkpeak #wadersurvey

June would be ideal but coming mid August with the family again. Will send you the dates later. 😎

On a role this spring John, perhaps more to come into June?
