@DanielBranch94 Coincidentally, one seen at Hurstwood reservoir on EL Calderdale border today, Feb 17th. My second this winter, a scarce bird here.

Great Black-backed Gull!!!
For just the second time in my 19 years watching Soil Hill!
It's been a steady February on Soil Hill for my first visits of 2026, but I certainly enjoyed this brute heading north this morning!

@macro_action Thanks Paul. I photograph many Amegilla species in The Gambia but I struggle to put a name to them.

@TonyJuniper We are already noticing big, ongoing changes in our insect assemblages Tony, one of the most powerful outputs of citizen science (amateur insect recorders). We've been adding new bee species at the rate of 1.5 per year recently, but many long-established bees are also declining.

The much improved weather @spurnbirdobs this morning kicked-off an incredible movement of White-fronted Geese with no fewer than 168 passing south, many of which stopped off at the wetlands before continuing on their way. The Black Brant also paid us a visit. What a goose fair!

In 2026, nearly 4.5 million girls are at risk of undergoing female genital mutilation (FGM). This harmful practice must stop. @UNFPA and partners reaffirm our commitment to #EndFGM, once and for all: unf.pa/fgms
