Baird's sandpiper (juv), Rutland Water, October 2025. This delightful bird from just a few weeks back gave many, including me, their closest ever views of the species. #BirdsA-Z #Birding

The swallows are back at Sam Smith park. There is one field where volunteers maintain tree houses for the swallows. These are filled with tree swallows. Then down the path is a bridge where barn swallows build their homes.

Kākāpō 101 No. 4. Unlike most birds, #kakapo don't breed every year. They only breed every 2-4 years, when trees such as the rimu (a conifer) produce lots of fruit (or "mast"). This slow breeding is one of the reasons they're critically endangered. #conservation #parrots #birdsA
