Long-eared Owl & Black Redstart, Spurn

















Another excellent day at Spurn with this roosting Long-Eared Owl in Sykes Field and a Black Redstart in Sandy Beaches along with a massive supporting cast !

Siskins







A local otter !!


It was just a swim past, quickly disappearing but it was so good to see, made our day !!

Ashby Ville Local Nature Reserve

Totally obliterated along the Beck side. Scrub clearance is an understatement !  For the past few years we have had a winter bird feeding station in these woods where willow tits would visit daily.......not any more. The area was covered in brambles and scrub and full of birds until North Lincolnshire Council decided to tidy it up.....makes me sad to see it.

Peregrine Falcon























A fantastic bird on our morning walk yesterday,  a very wet juvenile peregrine falcon. It had just bathed and was busy preening and drying in the morning sun. What a stunning bird !
