Artist and nature lover - celebrating the wildlife and wild landscapes of northern England. Also keen on rocks and fossils. Art and photos are my own unless stated otherwise. Occasionally I write poetry - apologies in advance.
Colour-ringed Curlew at Teesmouth today - any ideas what project may have done this? I’ve looked on Eu-ring but find it hard to interpret. Seems a lot of rings for one bird!

Any suggestions as to what this is? Came across it last night when tidying up my photos. Taken in Suffolk in May '23, probably on Westleton Heath. Obsid. comes up with Tortrix sp., which is about as far as I'd managed #teammoth

This is a really terrible photo and I am not expecting anyone to ID it, I am just curious about what types of small moths would be about on the edge of the North York Moors in (admittedly, a mild) November?

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.
Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.
Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

If ever there was an example demonstrating the high level of persecution faced by Hen Harriers on UK grouse moors, the lack of consequences for the offenders, and the lack of justice for the victim…

Unexpected garden visitor - a Ring-necked Parakeet! There’s a feral population in a nearby park, but this is only the second one in the garden. Very fluffy tummy.

I was glad to see the 2 Taiga Bean Geese last week at Dooey in West Donegal. Having managed brief views of 1 of the 9 Taiga's that had been at Inch, it was a great opportunity to be able to take in the structure and details.
A Pink-footed sleeping in a roadside field made for a much better subject.
