We dug 7 ponds in our field earlier in the year and they’ve been bone dry all summer. Thankfully November has completely changed the weather and now the ponds are filling and looking good. @northyorksbirds.bsky.social

Reminder for tomorrow’s meeting. Last indoor meeting for 2025, a fantastic talk by Richard Baines. Richard will be selling his book and the club will have the 2024 bird report for members. Collecting the report in person, saves the club postage. @teesbirds.bsky.social @northyorksbirds.bsky.social
