After dipping this bird twice in 2 days, an early start to the day was needed before work. At @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social sister site, Freiston Shore, this Wryneck was well worth the wait. #lincsbirding #rspb #swarovski #ollinsystem #phoneskope

I don't think there's a better feeling while out birding, than finding a lifer. This Redstart was warming itself up in the morning sun. #lincsbirding

I'm only starting to dip my toe into the Micro Moth world. These 2 surcome to the light the other night. Lobesia Littoralis and Aethes Smeathmanniana. The first, I'm told, has not been recorded in Lincs since 2024. I'm in West Grantham. #teammoth

Today we join everyone in wishing Sir David Attenborough a happy 100th birthday. The man who brought the world's wildlife into our living rooms has always been a passionate advocate for local species and habitats.
