Excellent day at @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social managed by the Lower Ure Conversation Trust. Lovely people to chat to and plenty of birds including this Red Necked Phalarope spinning away. (I need a better camera!)

Day at @yorkswildlife.bsky.social North Cave Wetlands. Well on with phase 2 now and good to see plenty of autumn visitors have arrived and wildfowl beginning to lose eclipse plumage. Well worth a visit.
