Great views of a red kite over Blakey Ridge - superb to watch. House martins learning the ropes in Skelton, looks like a good few successful broods. Nursery web spider with grub prey in Easington - good numbers of swift & painted lady passing through too. @teesbirds1 @nybirdnews

It is always fantastic when out for a “walk” with @janeburkey to come across a cracking bird that doesn’t disappoint. Step forward a very showy vocal Wood Warbler, my first (and last ?) of the year. Shame that my camera & photography don’t do it the justice that it deserves.
