Shaky vid of the Chorley recording area's first Pallid Harrier. This juvenile has been at Belmont Reservoir (Lancs) for the second day @chorleynats

Interesting scientific study about waders breeding in the High Arctic.
A recent study found that waders breeding in the Arctic tundra are much less likely to return to the same breeding sites...

White-winged Tern at Fairhaven Lake, Lancashire this AM. @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides

Seems I managed to catch the white-winged tern up at Fairhaven Lake yesterday on it's last day before heading on. What a showy bird. Had it for 2 hours constantly feeding back and forth close range on a small lake. Through rain and sun. @FyldeBirdClub

Two of at least 31 Yellow Wagtail's at Bank End Cockerham yesterday (up to 40 seen in recent days)they must have had a good breeding season as not been these sort of numbers locally since the mid 1980's ! @FyldeBirdClub

Really good to see the results of the re-wetting work carried out on Winter Hill Flats last winter. As well as reducing flood risk by slowing water run off, it should hugely boost biodiversity on what is currently just a monoculture of Molinia grass

.@savebutterflies .@BC_Lancs .@BC_Yorkshire Another Wall Brown at Longstone Edge in Derbyshire, The second gen seems to be quite good this year with a lot of nice specimens. Tricky to photograph though without killing yourself on the escarpment. Also plenty on the Fylde coast.

Billionaires own the platforms, politicians, newspapers and data centers and then tell you the greatest threat to your freedom is a broke immigrant picking vegetables.
Weak minded idiots always fall for blaming others. Fascism needs stupid people for it to be implemented.

Good news for England's breeding Black-tailed Godwits.
Did you read that Natural England are providing £650k to support @WWTworldwide launch a new breeding programme?
Thread starts with history of falling and rising numbers in East Anglia: wadertales.wordpress.com/202…
