Been practicing birds in flight Shots recently.

@FarryCarolyn @DurhamBirdClub Great collection 😀

Tree Pipits about the Durham moors a few weeks back. Lovely to hear and see, such a beautiful song.@DurhamBirdClub

@flako1959 @savebutterflies Nice one Gary. Not seen one for a few years

I’d almost given up hope of seeing York’s colony of the UK’s smallest butterfly, the Small Blue, but the warmer weather has seen them emerge in good numbers now their food plant, the kidney vetch, is in flower. @savebutterflies

@FarryCarolyn @DurhamBirdClub Lovely shot

Cuckoo Durham moors recently. Thanks to Bob for the shout. @DurhamBirdClub

@martgathercole Might pop by

@LUFCDave_ Fingringhoe Wick is a major centre for Nightingales Dave😉

As it was only a short walk this morning Mrs G insisted on taking me out for coffee & cake at Fingringhoe Wick nature reserve, a lovely walk with plenty of shade in the heat of the day🤠 Nightingales singing for those that like them🎶😉

@FarryCarolyn Thanks Carolyn. Dont often see them, so always a thrill.

@LUFCDave_ Fabulous bird and picture Dave. They have such a beautiful song.

Plenty of Tree Pipit's at Budby Common this morning. With @stevengthomps62

@flako1959 Glad its still there Gary and that you saw it

@LUFCDave_ Thanks, Dave. I saw a few related 'Tweets', was over in Leeds on an errand, took a bit of a gamble on location and it paid off. To be fair, he helped, I could hear him from a distance. Lovely birds.

I would never have caught up with this vociferous Wood Warbler, less than an hour’s drive from home, had it not been blasting out its incredible coin spinning song. Easily lost to view in a leafy canopy, now rarely heard in Yorkshire woodlands.

@488IanB @stevengthomps62 Thanks Ian

@LUFCDave_ @stevengthomps62 You did great, I got them while still singing- much easier

Great early morning out on Budby Common, before it got too hot. Lovely to see the Woodlarks. Weird to see a number of naked men, having forgotten this is a Naturism hotspot 🫣With @stevengthomps62

@488IanB @stevengthomps62 Lucky today. I normally visit late Feb when they are singing and obvious. None singing today so very pleased to find.

@LUFCDave_ @stevengthomps62 Smashing shots Dave, a cracking bird

@stevengthomps62 You can SAY it but.....

@LUFCDave_ Can I just say I was totally clothed all morning 😄

@martgathercole @stevengthomps62 My first encounter. Each to their own

@LUFCDave_ @stevengthomps62 🤣 they get everywhere

@bob_combedown @AndersG2211 Good old Anders 😃

Thanks to @AndersG2211 for a great day birding … and a lifer for me see photo but….at the last minute he found me my bird a hoopoe

@VilleWych What a beauty

Stone Curlew 19.5.26 Weeting, Norfolk

@LittleBustards Nice one Ted 👍

A singing wood warbler in a Yorkshire woodland today. Such a great looking and sounding bird. @Teesbirds1 @teeswildlife @nybirdnews @rspbengland @natures_voice #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography

@cranky1456 Nice Rob

Well what a surprise this little fella was when I looked through the photos I had dropped onto my laptop after my North East Trip. This Corn Bunting was another #Lifer ✅ for me, and this one made it 6 Lifers in the 4 day trip. #birds #ECK #CanonR5mkii #photography #ukbirding

@ruths_portraits That is superb Ruth

I have to say, this might be one of my favourite pieces I’ve drawn in a long time! My dream bird to see! Wallcreeper in coloured pencil on watercolour paper.

@488IanB A bit arty for me 🫣

@LUFCDave_ Smashing shot Dave 👏

Another shot of the local Wood Warbler yesterday morning. Love these birds and the 'spinning coin' song
