A timeless shot of a Cormorant at #GosforthNatureReserve
Cormorants can be spotted in inland freshwater and along the coast.🌊
Did you know that although Cormorants are amazing divers, there feathers aren't actually waterproof?
📸Thank you to Ray Haldane for these wonderful photos.

Fantastic photos from #GosforthNatureReserve📸
Recently, the Brown Hawker dragonfly has been spotted!
With few North East records, this is an exciting sight to be seen. Their brown wings make this species distinct and they can also be spotted hunting in the woodland.🌳

Not one, but two Tree Bumblebee nests discovered along the #BeeWalk transect at #GosforthNatureReserve! 🐝🌍
Unlike many other bumblebees, Tree Bumblebees often nest above ground – in bird boxes, lofts, or holes in trees, which can make them easier to spot! 🔎

On a cold, crips evening, sunsets at #GosforthNatureReserve give off the perfect lighting for some great wildlife photography.

During December, you may have spotted this winter visitor. The Whooper Swan is a rare breeding bird and in the spring, they will fly, non-stop, from Scotland to Iceland!
