@TWOweather This is very good Brian

A number of bugs with our brand new interactive box & whisker ensemble spread tool (ECMWF IFS and GEFS) have been fixed. Also the url is updated to this: theweatheroutlook.com/twodata/ens-cs… 📊 View the spread & trends in temperature, rain, wind & more out to 16 days ahead. This is a powerful, professional-grade tool.

Bittern visible in the reeds from turret hide this afternoon @NorthCaveWet

@WildlifeTrusts Bearded tit

Do you recognise which bird this is? 🪶 Clue: The males of this species sport a black 'moustache'.

Golden ringed dragonfly seen near Sedbergh earlier in the week. I assume she was laying eggs in the shallow water

Lethal drama in our Copmanthorpe garden early this morning @nybirdnews

Gatekeeper (or Hedge Brown) butterfly at Askham Bog this afternoon. Very much at the northern end of its range

Then Transpennine express service from Manchester Airport to York is a joke. Hardly any luggage racks.

Just travelled back from Adelaide to Manchester via Doha airport. What a contrast in airports. Manchester airport is really a dump, very few toilets which are very old. A section of border gates weren’t working , no explanation.

@CityofYork I attend @TheBelfrey church each Sunday for 9am service and cannot get a bus from Copmanthorpe at that time and am not willing to pay for parking to go to church. Now Micklegate is no longer free on Sundays what should I do? Did you not consider Christians at all?

@MetMattTaylor @GavinPartridge Thanks Matt

@phil_walters @GavinPartridge Hi Phil. Good spot - They are lenticular clouds metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-…

Anyone know what type of cloud this is? Seen in New Zealand, South Island.⁦@MetMattTaylor⁩ ⁦@GavinPartridge⁩

Also the beady eyed Silvereye and amazing fantail there stays still for a second

Sacred kingfisher seen in Russell, New Zealand today, another new bird for me.

@SgDav63 We saw one in the French alps, we were looking down on it, amazing sight

Just back from a short trip in northeastern Spain - this was one of at least 3 fantastic Lammergeiers that gave us dream views 😊😱

@DeanBrookes11 @YorkBirding Where exactly is this?

Starling murmaration in york tonight, seems to be getting bigger each day @YorkBirding

They also like the conifer tree as well

At least 10 greenfinches on our garden bird feeders in Copmanthorpe this morning. One very aggressive male keeping others from sharing the food. @YorkBirding

It’s great that people are learning from my @udemy courses #ITeachWithUdemy

Went to Long Nab today with my York U3a birdwatching group. Saw this kestrel on the cliffs.
