Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Helice Clouded Yellow - please forgive the poor quality screenshot, it was difficult to photograph in windy conditions, but I was delighted to see my first example of this form at NCW today. 0212
Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This Hobby was running about on East Holm, North Cave Wetlands, attempting to catch unseen prey. First time I have seen one hunting like this. 0111
Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 04/09/2026A very short video of the Hobby at NCW. I love the way it remains unmoved in the very strong wind. 0100
Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This Hobby is being very obliging at North Cave Wetlands (NCW) East Yorkshire. It has been using the same tree as a base for its hunting sorties for a few days now. @northcavewet.bsky.social 081

Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 17/06/2026This bird at North Cave Wetlands is being described as hybrid. Any thoughts welcome. Can Ruddy Shelducks at any age ever look like this? If it is a hybrid, any thoughts on parents? Thanks. 000
Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Just received this wonderful book recording the avifauna of Budle Bay. Well written and illustrated with great photos. Well done Chris Knox! Highly recommended @budlebirder.bsky.social 193

Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I haven’t seen many Brent Geese at NCW, the ones I have seen have all been dark-bellied. So it was great to hear about then connect with this pale-bellied bird today. 080

Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Late compared to some but I was pleased to see my first Yellow Wagtails of the year at North Cave Wetlands. The White Wagtail shown was unusual looking to me. 1271
Stuart Griffiths @sgriffiths1302.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Agree and proximity doesn’t have to be close does it? 100
