No proper birding today, but a short dusk dog walk was good value, with c540 Barnacle Geese yapping their way towards the Solway Firth, and a male Goshawk exchanging words with the local Buzzards #NEbirding
John Malloy A second attempt for the Longhoughton Steel Lapland Bunting was more successful than the first. Lovely observations despite the blustery conditions - this bird had the knack of keeping in grass sufficiently long enough to never give a complete clear view! #NEbirding
Palustris Margrove Pond near Guisborough is 99% dry but a count of 51 Moorhens this afternoon may be significant for Cleveland? @teesbirds.bsky.social

This late Cuckoo has been at Low Newton for the last few days. A fearless juvenile, more concerned with finding caterpillars than the people stood nearby watching it. At one point it landed right at my feet to pluck a caterpillar out of the grass, amazing ! #NEbirding #Lowcarbonbirding

Only 10 moths in last night’s trap Lunar underwing,Beaded chestnut,Large yellow underwing and 7 Black rustic’s VC62 Middlesbrough @teesbirds.bsky.social
Arto Maatta Only two moths last night due to blustery wind and clear skies. Nevertheless, can’t complain when one of them was Flounced Chestnut, a garden ✅ and scarce species in the county these days. The other one was a November Moth agg. #TeamMoth @teesbirds.bsky.social

Short-eared Owl flew in off the sea to a Magpie welcome before dropping onto a nearby fence briefly then into cover at Blackhall Rocks a few days ago 👍 #Nebirds #ukbirds @durhambirdclub.bsky.social @teesbirds.bsky.social
Palustris Water Stick-insect was abundant today among emergent vegetation in lake at Cowpen Bewley Country Park nr Billingham. Other rapidly-expanding southern insects included Saucer Bug & Migrant Hawker dragonfly. None of these were present when I surveyed the lake in early 2000s. @teesbirds.bsky.social

Todd's at Budle Bay this p.m. Apparently not the bird photographed by @budlebirder.bsky.social a few days ago - this one is darker-breasted with a really narrow and dirty strap #UKbirding #NEbirding

Also present were last saturdays( or another) presumed Todd’s Canada Goose (Branta canadensis interior) and a briefly seen small-billed /dinky Canada Goose, possibly Richardson’s Cackling Goose (Branta hutchinsii hutchinsii #BudleBay #NEbirding

An obvious arrival of Barnacle Geese today, with birds flying in off the sea into a fresh westerly, bringing numbers around the bay to at least 4,500 by late afternoon inc three leucistic birds #BudleBay #NEbirding

Possible that this bird, which has turned up in Lothian in the past, is making its way north past Northumberland today #NEBirding
Ian Sherriffs This white goose got the heart going whilst seawatching at Longhoughton Steel at lunchtime. To then see it tracked up the coast by various other sightings was cool. I had it as a leutistic Barnacle on reviewing some scope footage. #NEbirding
