I remember when it was first created. Excellent for waders on passage and breeding
Seems like there are plenty of Common Scoters turning up on inland water bodies today! Maybe there will be one on your patch?
Good luck to all patch birders over the weekend, chance of an early Hirundine, Wheatear or Little Ringed Plover too! #PWC2026
A stonking start to the day!

Streamer. Very fresh looking individual on the fence. Early for here. Beautiful moth. ♥️. #TeamMoth.
A Satellite moth was new for the year in the garden last night plus the moth lamp also attracted two rather smart springtails (Orchesella villosa) @savebutterflies.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social @bnascience.bsky.social #MothMonday

On this damp & mild evening, after a four-month absence, it was a small joy to see again just now, out in the lamplit neighbourhood, the dark rounded shape of a foraging hedgehog.
A small Northern Pygmy-Owl with bright yellow eyes and spotted brown and white feathers, perched on a mossy branch and looking up to the left.

One of the many benefits of Alder #trees Alder goblet #fungi grow on the old rotting catkins. They are tiny as you can see compared to the moss sporophytes. A similar fungi grows from the rotting cones.
My small garden pond alive with mating Common #Frogs early this morning. Estimated at least 20 present plus the first clump of frogspawn of the spring! @bnascience.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social
