The wind & cloud continued to do their best to quash invert' hunting today, so it was great to find a single Norfolk Hawker on the wing @ #RSPB Lodmoor, alongside Hairy Hawker & Emperor, as well as this stunning Rose Chafer enjoying the umbellifers

The Queen Anne arriving in Cromarty Firth. The most bizarre sight when I’m just sitting here birdwatching.

Never actively search for them due to the precarious nature of the current population and their susceptibility to disturbance- sadly not seen one for over a decade - since the closure of the official #RSPB viewing hide at #Abernethy 🙁

My #dragonfly highlight of the year so far - an immature male Broad-bodied Chaser at #RSPB Otmoor last weekend. It was early evening and he was settling in to roost. #ukwildlife #odonata #ento #insects

My first ever sighting of a Speckled Wood butterfly, seen at RSPB Arne last weekend. Such a gorgeous rich-chocolate-brown colour!

Kann sein, dass ich gerade schon wieder Shirts aus dem Merch der #RSPB gekauft habe. Aber was soll ich sonst tragen? Markenklamotten, wie so ein Konsumopfer?

Beautiful nightingales at Pulborough Brooks on Saturday. Didn't see a single one this visit, but could happily listen to them all day.

Heard my first cuckoo of 2024 too.

36 species IDed in total.

First #Whitethroat of 2024 for me. Newport Wetlands #RSPB #UKbirding

They're returning and hopefully soon the colonies will be busy and productive. Here's a pair photographed a few years back at RSPB Troup Head. #birds #UKwildlife #RSPB

Really disappointing #RSPB garden Birdwatch for me this year. Not indicative of the number of species overall or the number of each species either. Apparently a disappointing year for a lot of people.

We did the #RSPB garden bird count today and included this handsome fella:

Very high tide on the downstream River Thames this afternoon, at #RSPB #RainhamMarshes. The flood barrier has been lowered into position at the River Darenth, to protect #Dartford.

Dear #RSPB,

Have you checked flights to Rwanda..?

A Puffin (Fratercula arctica) from #RSPB Bempton Cliffs. This was the first time I'd seen one, and couldn't believe how small the were!

Wo sind all unsere Spatzen geblieben? Seit Jahr1000en gedeiht d Haussperling neben der Menschheit, jetzt ist seine halbierte Population eine Warnung. Selbst der anpassungsfähigste Spatz kann heute mit den Veränderungen und dem Druck der Zeit nicht mehr Schritt halten 🪶 #RSPB
#Gebäudebrüter Sparrow

Where have all the sparrows gone?

For millennia the house sparrow has thrived alongside humanity, now its halved population offers a warning.
