Red Necked Phalarope

This was at Chowder Ness, Barton.

Twite

Gale force winds made photography nearly impossible today, but managed these few pics while I tried to shelter from the sandstorms!

Snow buntings

Snow buntings

A very windy day at Brickyard Lane. The snow buntings struggled to keep their feet on the ground! About 150 snow buntings, 100 twite and 4 shore larks today.

Mr Jangles

Making his breakfast out of Friday night's popadoms. There were 4 of these under the budlia, so presume we have lots more. They are allowed to survive in our garden!

Scaup

A lovely morning in Cleethorpes with the sun shining !

Teal and Tufted

Clumber Park

Lots of beautiful trees with stunning autumn colour

Nuthatch

More starlings

Starlings

Watched 1000's of starlings coming into roost tonight at Far Ings, Barton. One of those spectacular sights !

This sums it up

Absolute mindless destruction of a beautiful park

The wood pile grows by the hour

This man really objected to being photographed................so I did it even more. In the end he came down and shouted..............so I shouted back...

Nest box

Nest box removed before tree was felled, that was good of them

Only stumps remain

200 stumps.........

There once was a wood here....

Trees felled so that path can be moved about 10ft. Total and utter madness. One tree was identified as a possible bat roost. This was quietly felled one morning. The owls bred in this wood, two chicks learnt their walking skills over the tops of the trees that were once here.

Central Park destruction

The tree where the tawny owls nested for the last 4 years. They managed to leave this one standing, although every tree round it has been felled so it stands in isolation. The owls have long gone.

Central Park tree felling

North Lincolnshire Council have decided to re-juvenate Central Park by felling 200 trees, most of them in perfect health. It is heartbreaking to see. How can they get away with this mass destruction of habitat? They have destroyed a wood where the tawny owls have nested for the last 4 years, so that will be the last time we see those. The council should be guardians of these trees, they should look after them for the people, not fell every one. They have a tree policy which states they will not fell healthy trees, pity they don't adhere to it. I am disgusted by this carnage.
