1 of 2 Red-backed Shrikes along the Northumberland coast today. This one at Low Newton. Functionally extinct as a breeding bird in the UK the best chance to see one is during autumn migration #birding #birdmigration #birdwatching #birdtok #northnorthumberland #birdclub #northnorthumberlandbirdclub

My good deed has been paid back.. having saved one of these beauts from being trampled underfoot on a footpath yesterday I was rewarded today with my first Orange Swift to my #warkworth garden in #VC67 #northumberland #teammoth #mothsmatter #whatsflyingtonight

Dark Sword Grass amongst the migrants to by garden in VC67. The migration of this moth and others such as the Diamond Back just blows my mind #teammoth #mothsmatter#darkswordgrass #migration #whatsflyingtonight #northumberland #VC67 #northumberlandnature #northeastnature

Good to see a Lesser Whitethroat in spring rather than autumn and to get clear (ish) view. Definitely #BirdOfTheDay. #birds #northumberland #migrants #whitethroat #aves #ukbirds @btobirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

A poor night with 6/5 in my Warkworth Garden although this Lunar Marbled Brown and an Early Tooth Stripe were NFY. My neighbour’s always on security light may not be helping #teammoth #whatsflyingtonight #mothsmatter @savebutterflies.bsky.social #warkworth #northumberland #VC67

A bumper day of nature was rounded off by this lovely male Redstart that happened to be hanging about across the road from my favourite ice cream parlour. #birds #northumberland #stunday #ukwildlife #redstart #naturephotography #warkworth #wildlifephotography #ukbirds

A few more to the trap last night. The North East coastal location means numbers stay low until later than further inland #teammoth #mothsmatter #ukwildlife #butterfliesandmoths #whatsflyingtonight #moths #hebrewcharacter #chestnut
