It Wont be long now before this Whooper Swan starts its return trip, Beautiful day at @WWTWelney today. 5 cranes over as well. Over 200 Black tailed Godwits some starting to show summer Plumage.

Today’s Raven News: Chips came many times this morning to collect food & take it away & to just spend time relaxing! I have started to walk off his territory later in the morning just in case my presence is disturbing his nesting duties.I don’t think it is but best to be careful!

In less than two hours today @alan23982 and I clocked 6 different kinds of raptor in the same place. What a blinking treat. Near Wykeham Forest. This is a Goshawk - seeing off the much larger Red Kite from it's planned nesting area. 😍 @RoeDeerDiary @nybirdnews

Anyone who’s ever tried to photograph crested tits will know that they never tend to stay still for very long, but this one at Loch Garten last weekend was very obliging! Also my 125th bird of the year #BirdingScotland #UKBirding #Birds #BirdsSeenIn2026 #RSPB #nature

Chiffchaff at Sharpness Gloucestershire yesterday 14 March 2026

I had the pleasure of seeing four Spoonbills that had just landed in front of West Hide RSPB Minsmere a couple of weeks ago. I was on my way to the car when I heard a radio report from one of my colleagues that they had just flown in, so I went and had a look. Stunning light 😊

There were several adders on the dunes at Minsmere today basking in the sunshine. @RSPBMinsmere @SWT_NE_Reserves @bbcwildlifemag
