There should be a more general arrival of moths from the Canary Isles this evening, as a cold front pushes the mild airstream further east overnight. Fairly breezy throughtout however the winds will be slightly calmer this evening, before really picking up during the early hours. #teammoth

Thousands of Barnacle Geese pouring north past Low Newton this afternoon. In amongst them a leucistic bird and a Ruddy Shelduck ! #NEbirding #Lowcarbonbirding

Possible that this bird, which has turned up in Lothian in the past, is making its way north past Northumberland today #NEBirding

We caught site of this Short Eared Owl last night just as the light had gone and it was starting to rain. @teesbirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @durhambirdclub.bsky.social @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social #NEbirding #BirdsSeenin2026 #birds #UKbirds

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
