A great start to a short break up north. A flock of 14 Snowbunting at Cairngorm yesterday.
Great shots.
A Common Crane from Cowpen Marsh, Teesside, today. We watched in distantly in a field for a minute before it took off and gave us really close flight views. Thank you to everyone who gave updates on its location.

We could not find those whoopers yesterday when we went down to look for the American Widgeoln which had disappeared too. Sounds like you had a good day.
Best bird of the year for us today in the garden - a Song Thrush was on the lawn with 8 Blackbirds. Not seen one in our garden in Hartburn for about 20 years. @teesbirds.bsky.social @teeswildlife.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

Finally managed to get a couple of shots of the Grey Wagtail which visits out back garden every day now. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social
Our resident Birds in the garden include a Pied Wagtail which visits every day to feed and drink from the water barrel and for the past week a Grey Wagtail although not managed a photo yet as a bit flighty.

A lovely walk in Ropner Park this morning. Ring Necked Parakeets, Pintail and three Nuthatch took our total for the year so far to 85 Then we got Little Owl near Stokesley making it 86. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social
Lovely to catch up with a large flock of Redwings feeding on berries at Kiplin Hall today. @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social
So pleased we went this morning to see the Bluethroat at South Gare as it was showing really well. A bit chilly but well worth a visit. Video a little Shakey start and finish but otherwise ok. youtu.be/fjVV-w8jyms @teesbirds.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

Firecrest in the Croft Gardens at Hartlepool just before dark hence the poor photos. Very mobile but easy to view in the trees now the leaves have dropped.

Good to see the Olive Backed Pipit and 5 Snow Bunting at South Gare today. @teesbirds.bsky.social
The Blackcap feeding on the apples today in the garden of the cottage we are staying in. It was here in April when we came and lovely to see it again now. (If it is the same bird that is!) A wet day but the Cresties still made an appearance. #Dulnainbridge #highlands @teesbirds.bsky.social
Feed the birds and they will come. The feeding station was empty when we arrived but it didn't take long before the coal Tits and at least 2 Cresties arrived once the sunflower hearts and peanuts were supplied. @teesbirds.bsky.social
2 Jack Snipe from Saltholme last week (if you can spot them) and the mouse in his Halloween house at the Wildlife Watchpoint. @teesbirds.bsky.social
Great Egret in field east of Great Langton, Little Egret on river. @northyorksbirds.bsky.social
According to Obsidentify we have just had a tree bumblebee sunning itself in our garden. @teesbirds.bsky.social
