Please remember when out #YorkshireBirding this spring and summer, to submit any rare breeding bird records to the county recorder, or through @birdtrack.bsky.social/eBird (including breeding status) to make sure they can be used in the yearly @ukrbbp.bsky.social Rare Breeding Bird Reports. Thanks!
