A final post, from our beloved #Yorkshire coast (Robin Hood's Bay the other day), to wish you all a very Happy New Year. See you on the sunnier side, where you'll find me at Markthebirder.bsky.social - here's to a brighter and more positive path ahead 🙏

Cryptic, charismatic & characterful, Jack Snipe are hard to beat - seven in my @WoldEcology survey area today (all in a small, muddy industrial area by Hull docks) were a real treat. All sat tight and gave me the thousand yard stare, unlike their cowardly common cousins....

That's great, it starts with an earthquake

#Yorkmageddon #whataweek

For all you good people who coughed up over 5K in the spring, for my half-marathon for Jean Thorpe Wildlife Rescue: Jean's aviaries now have full electrics, heating, lighting and CCTV throughout (plus a new freezer)!

So grateful to so many lovely folk. THANK YOU! 😍🙏🦉🦅

Over on the coast to see family yesterday, fitted in a late a.m session on the Brigg #Filey - three Little Auks, three Little Gulls, four Great Northern Divers, 30 Purple Sands the pick.
