Sitting on my sofa in Hessay this afternoon, when this lovely pair walked nonchalantly across the lawn and up to the patio! Taken through window with my phone @yorkbirding.bsky.social

A surprising Hessay garden tick at 1am this morning. A Bittern flying over giving nocturnal flight call @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

62 White-fronts have just flown north over our house in Hessay calling well, and I didn't have a recorder running! @yorkbirding.bsky.social

Barn owls in Hessay: I've had a microphone out for 6 months in one of our ash trees, and the local Barn owls are currently nest prospecting. There is no disturbance as I'm cabled 120m back to my study 2.30am 26th March @yorkbirding.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

This beauty has been visiting our garden pond in Hessay for the past 4 days, catching minnows. Filmed through our conservatory window.
