I saw a bittern yesterday for the first time at North Cave, it was skulking in the reeds then the wind blew and I got a view of his head @yorkbirding.bsky.social @northcavebirds.bsky.social

Frosty Askham Bog this morning

White headed munia seen in Chinese Meeting House in Hoi An

Long tailed shrike having lunch in Hoi An, Vietnam. Very disappointed with how many birds I have seen

Went to Askham Bog this afternoon and the siskins are back! Only saw a few once last winter but today there were 50+ feeding in the tops of the alder trees, winter us coming @yorkbirding.bsky.social

House martens gathering together, they will soon be heading south

Several bitterns were booming at St Aidan’s this afternoon. Didn’t see any of them though. @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Did the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this afternoon and had 3 greenfinches in a conifer tree in our garden, they are regular visitors to our feeders.
