A bumblebee species with a white tail, black abdomen and orange-brown upper body.
I think this is a Tree Bumblebee on my front doorstep this afternoon, but happy to be corrected. #bumblebees
Does anyone have or is anyone aware of any photos or sightings of juvenile/ 2nd calendar year White-billed Divers during Jan-Feb 2026 from E Scotland or NE England? #birdingScotland #NEbirding #rarebirdsUK
Just had a bat flying around outside my place of work. Medium sized, broad wings, flying fairly slow and agile at tree top height. Alighted a few times against the bricks. Can anyone narrow it down to a possible id?
Thanks for the Baird's 👍👏

Lincolnshire Police are asking for help: who might own a pack of foxhounds misusing a level crossing, causing a passenger train to emergency brake and killing two dogs. Someone on horseback may be a witness, apparently. It's a mystery!

They mostly gave quiet contact calls, but one gave a series of loud whistles. It’s not the classic ‘toot’, but I don’t recall hearing such a strident call from a British Bullfinch before. Anyone have experience of this call? #NEbirding #birds
