Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Thanks Shane. It's such a lovely bird - spent a bit of time watching it swimming under water, catching a fish then losing it! Plus it sat for a while having a preen and dipping. 000
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We did see it catching some small fish. It was singing too which was lovely to hear. 010

Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Wow - amazing views of the Wryneck at Freiston Shore this morning. This bird has been on my lifer list and so chuffed to have finally ticked it. #lincsbirding #ukbirding 2533
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 23/08/2026RSPB Blacktoft Sands today - the ditch that runs in front of the hides has been cleared which means the Water Voles are easier to see. It's a shame that the Grey Herons also know this! Other highlights Water Rail, Yellow Wagtails, Spotted Redshank, Snipe & lots of Ruff #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding 0171
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I wonder where he/she will be seen next on their travels 110
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Looks like the Snipe is getting ready to do a spectacular dismount from the balancing beam. 010
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 26/07/2026One of the Black-crowned Night Herons at Bolton-on-Swale on Friday @nybirdnews.bsky.social #yorkshirebirding #ukbirding 0283
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Alkborough Spoonbills having just woken up - had a preen, a bit of a feed and flew off to Trent Falls (must have known the tide was dropping). 6 Spoonies seen from Julian's Bower viewpoint on way home #lincsbirding #ukbirding 0170

Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 04/07/2026It's a nice reserve to have a walk around with 2 hides. Water levels have dropped since I last visited so a few more waders. Lots of butterflies and insects today too. You could tie it in with a visit to Alkborough Flats perhaps 🙂 110
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Common Tern chick testing the water at Messingham Sand Quarry today. Other highlights were 2 Red Kites and 2 Green Sandpipers. Also nice to see some young Avocets. #ukbirding @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social 1170

These 3 were larking around the ferry & even flying onto the ferry today before we set sail. Love those red feet #ukbirding #nibirding 0120
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It may have been the Isle of Man bird but can't confirm as my photo isn't clear enough to show if it has a green ring. 020
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Yes I did - was in the right place at the right time 😊 030
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Had a great 6 days in Northern Ireland. Beautiful coastlines along the Antrim coast & Giants Causeway. Then down to Tollymore Forest and Strangford Lough. Highlights were finding a Chough at Torr Head (previously posted) and this Osprey at Strangford Lough near Gibbs Island. #ukbirding #nibirding 190
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I hadn't realised I'd found a rarity in Northern Ireland on Monday afternoon at Torr Head! I didn't take my scope up a steep hill but regretted it when I found this Chough - so mobile photo was the best I could take #ukbirding #northernirelandbirding 1240
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Mine has arrived today too. Look forward to having a read. Appreciate lots of work goes into the reports each year 👍 120
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Hoping to visit in a couple of weeks time so will let you know if we see one! 110

Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 05/06/2026A Cuckoo landed in the same tree as the Turtle Dove this morning - must be a good tree to do some preening in a bit of sunshine - helps me that it doesn't have many leaves! #ukbirding 0220
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Perseverance has finally paid off seeing a Turtle Dove this morning - I knew they were there as I had heard them on previous visits #ukbirding 0220

Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Yes it's a great bird and showed really well despite the distance. It did fly around and had a bit of argy bargy with a Kestrel 020
Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Yeah!! - managed to finally see the Black-winged Kite near Sea Palling #lifer #norfolkbirfing #ukbirding 4242

Suzanne Atkinson @suzanne11a.bsky.social · 13/05/2026The frustrations of birding! Pleased you had success without trying in the end 😀. I need to do more of that and see how it works out 🤞 especially with Turtle Doves 🤣 210
