A change from birds. Some Grey Seals (we think) from our trip out to the Farne Islands last week.

Gillian and I walked the beautiful river North Tyne from Bellingham and saw 3 Kingfishers, 3 Dippers, 6 juv Goldfinches and what came as a surprise 3 Mandarin Ducks. Whilst in Bellingham at Hareshaw Burn I photographed this Dipper. #ukbirds #Northumberland

We skirted the Scottish side going through Coldstream and surrounding area. I love Scotland having gone there 10 of last 12 years. Northumberland also beautiful and agree Budle Bay an excellent birding spot.

Great stuff Mark. Was you out with Mull Charters?

Recent of Gillian and I at the Cheviot Hills where we though a river was very suitable for Dippers so we went looking and we weren't left dissapointed. This Dipper gave us 30mins + of wonderful entertainment. #ukbirds #Northumberland #Cheviothills

From Hauxley wildlife trust reserve in Northumberland 5 Whooper Swans, a pair of Golden Eye, Barn Owl and a Bar-tailed Godwit from Budle Bay. Our first time in Northumberland and must say it’s a beautiful area. #ukbirds #Northumberland

Some unusual footage of an Osprey - nice Rob 👍

Proud of my wife Gillian who took first prize for her piece of lace named “Mary” (ironically my Mum’s name) at Dorset County Show on Saturday and also first for her cross stitch picture named “Noah’s sub” (ironically our grandson’s name). #torchonlace #crossstitch

I don’t think the government are to blame as much as the police on the ground. If the police were caught off guard they may not have had enough resources to respond.

When you really need it, it’s usually there for you.

Straying from nature but I feel the need. Friends and acquaintances on here - if you are still tweeting onTwitter please think again. Do you really want to support the owner who congratulates a far-right group in Germany on their win. Is that the way we want the world to go?

What a brave man attacking a lone woman.

Wonder if it’s the same one that was by West Cliff’s last year that parked itself by our back packs making it difficult for us to go for a while.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I have 20 so a healthy crop 👍

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

A hollow victory indeed. A great big own goal.

My favourite pudding at home is Yogurt, blueberries, pumpkin seeds with honey drizzle. Good food for me being vegetarian. So don’t waste those seeds Tony 😂

Yes all good my end thank you - glad to know you are still making a fantastic environmental impact 👍

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Very nice too - hope life is going well for you Joel 👍

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Surely that’s late - juvenile possibly?

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Saw a Clouded Yellow at Lorton Meadows near Lodmoor likewise it wouldn’t keep still - if only there was more cycle paths like it.

If there isn’t any rain soon anything still alive in the pond is in big trouble.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

It nearly gave us an heart attack In the kitchen tonight wondering what was making the noise 😂

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Thank fuck for our NHS in the UK.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Well they just lost 5-1 to The Terras so they are feeling a little ragged at the moment.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

First time out birding for 3 weeks while dealing with pre-skin cancer cells on my head (birders wear hats and sun cream!). Best at Lodmoor was the juvenile Bearded Tit with a Sedge Warbler and a Greenshank and Common Sandpiper in the same picture. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds

A juvenile Bearded Tit on a reed with it's back and side of it's face showing nicely.

A Greenshank looking left and a Common Sandpiper looking right with other birds up on the bank behind them.

A Sedge Warbler very mobile but caught in a rasberry bush.

One of the times the Goodies were filming in the quarries they also came and filmed in the Borough Gardens in Dorchester - I watched on my way home from Boys Brigade. Would have been approx. 56 years ago. Shame he struggled in the latter years.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Any possibility it could have bred locally?

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Agreed but we are also to blame - how much have we all got on devices that require these data centres - we all need to have a massive cull of what we have saved.

Alan Membury @alanmembury.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

To be fair that is unusual - perhaps the person tasked with that job is ill or has a problem. Can you not park at the other end as assume your survey is in the woods. Would be interested in your findings if you can reveal. Good luck.
