🚨 EXPOSED: Unseen footage reveals the DEVASTATING impact of bottom-trawl fishing. David Attenborough’s new film #OCEAN is a call to arms to end this heartbreaking destruction of our marine protected areas. Will you heed his call? TAKE ACTION with us now👉act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-uk…

Just a few days away in Norfolk, enjoying a laid-back breakfast when I hear that the RBS is just down the road from where we’re staying (Weybourne). Talk about good timing! Perfect for wrapping up our trip before we hit the road home.

@Lincsbirding Good to see you again and glad it showed well for you. Would have liked to stop longer but got too cold.

@James4Nature Nice to see you James. It flew briefly when I arrived and for a mo showed unobscured in the tree. Stewart Wilson had told me earlier the nearer you got to its favoured bush the less you saw of it. Last one I saw was the ill fated one at Willow Tree Fen when access was unlimited

Incredible morning at Baston Fen, Lincolnshire. Thrilled to watch this Red-footed Falcon in flight, for it to then land closer than where it was first spotted. Beautiful birds glad to get one not too far from home. @Lincsbirding

@FarryCarolyn Off work at the right time for some passage birds.

@James4Nature Terrific set of birds and pictures James.

Finally got some time off work and nice to get back on my local patch. Some pics from this week… @RSPBLangford @NottsBirders

Purple Sandpiper found by @davidjenkins55 a first for @RSPBLangford and on a WeBS day! Relocated later by @ShorelarkHolmes quick dash to see it before the light fell. @NottsBirders

@birdphotos007 Wow!

Right place right time today at Bempton Cliffs RSPB. The Pale-legged Leaf Warbler perched right in front of me with a clear view through the foliage and branches!

@notbirdingnick @NottsBirders Fantastic Nick!

I hadn’t checked on the only local Little Owls I know of for quite some time, so it was good to find them still present last night, with at least 3 individuals indicating successful breeding.

@LUFCDave_ @RSPBLangford @ShorelarkHolmes @NottsBirders Same here, and even better on my local patch! 😃

@James4Nature @RSPBLangford @ShorelarkHolmes @NottsBirders Very nice James. Love a Purple Heron

Purple Heron made its way up the River Trent, starting from Attenborough, passing through HP, Netherfield, before reaching RSPB Langford Lowfields found by Mark Dawson. Thanks to all the volunteers who made access for viewing possible!

@stevewilko11 @RSPBLangford @ShorelarkHolmes @NottsBirders So glad to get one at Langford. Been hoping for one to drop in for some time now! Have a good time on holiday!

@James4Nature @RSPBLangford @ShorelarkHolmes @NottsBirders Awesome James, gutted couldn't get to see it. Am away on Holiday.......always the way 😁

Collared Flycatcher Kilnsea, East Yorkshire today. A very respectful, well organised twitch.

Our cunning plan is progressing nicely & we're aiming to re-open (albeit it partially - just the section of Trail between Beach Hut & Corfe Castle) on 22nd April from 10:00. After a frustrating 6 month closure it'll be great welcoming people back to Langford!! Photo @James4Nature

It's such a joy to have warblers returning! Although the reserve is still closed, there's plenty to listen to and observe along the perimeter footpath. Grasshopper Warbler is one of my favourites, seen today at Langford Lowfields. @RSPBLangford @NottsBirders

Black Kite spotted by Mark Dawson at RSPB Langford Lowfields today! After patiently waiting and nearly giving up, it finally made a reappearance, providing distant but great views. Nice one Mark! @ShorelarkHolmes @RSPBLangford @NottsBirders

@stevewilko11 @ayrshirebirds 🤞

@James4Nature @ayrshirebirds Nice one James, hope it hangs about until Saturday 🫰🫰

Myrtle Warbler at Kilwinning, Ayrshire early this morning. Thanks to number 22 Garnock View, for allowing us to view from their garden and to the finder at number 32! @ayrshirebirds

@gardenbirder1 @RSPBLangford @NottsBirders

@gardenbirder1 @RSPBLangford @NottsBirders Looked fine all the while it was there. This clip was just after it was pushed off an island by cormorants.

Bewick’s Swan @RSPBLangford today. Water levels are rising fast, flooding looks imminent, again. @NottsBirders
