Was great at Bempton today. Had a short eared in off the sea too, but the amount of blackbirds and redwing was awesome. Are you staying over for tomorrow Jono?

Flock of 60+ redwing over the house in York just now. We had a flock of pink footed over yesterday. Autumn has arrived! @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Yeah. Not the best weather or winds for Spurn unfortunately.

Nice surprise this lunchtime in Rufforth. I've never seen a grass snake this big. They look huge when they're all stretched out.

Well worth watching the Quaterback series on Netflix. Really made me appreciate how athletic those guys are. Seriously another level!

Chris @chrisywrighty.bsky.social · Sep 8

Haha yes I do agree. Rugby is strategic and full throttle. NFL is strategic to the minute detail, lits of mind games and second guessing, but much slower and controlled.

Two very different games, but NFL on a good day is very entertaining and exciting. Worth a second watch!

Chris @chrisywrighty.bsky.social · Sep 7

The games got better but not the best start. It's a very strategic and defensive game.
Watching the highlights is a good option as it cuts out all the stoppages!

Just gone to buy my migfest ticket @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social and seen they're sold out!!! I've managed to book accommodation and even a table at the Crown. Doh. If anyone knows of any spare tickets going I'd be super grateful for a message. @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social
