Well done @CLamsdell

Great to team up with @spurnbirdobs in a joint Motus Tracking Project on Jack Snipe (supported by @britishbirds). The first birds were tagged in the #LDV last night and we're now looking forward to seeing what results this project unearths - thanks to everyone involved.

Here is a little sketch of me and my partner's patch where we regularly go birding, looking north. It's a beautiful and unique little area with diverse habitat and a variety of birds.
Borran's Park, Ambleside.

After a brief view of the Ross's Gull when it shot through my scope whilst seawatching this morning at Whitburn. I was pleased when it was refound at South Shields and I could spend some time enjoying it.

Amazing to see a red-necked grebe at Leeshaw reservoir, a lifer and a great start to 2025. Lovely views when it popped up every time after diving.

Amazing views of a Drake smew @tophilllow today on the D res. Also 1st winter little gull at North Duffield Carrs & an interesting duck associating with the wigeon (a wigeon hybrid?) but no sign of the American wigeon in the area.

A Halifax birding day out with @CogHarry with some Pintail madness!
1st went to Ringstone Edge to twitch two drakes found earlier, as it was a Halifax tick! Found 4 birds present!
Then checked Elland GP and had 3 females fly over with a Wigeon!
Just one other Halifax 2024 record!
