Sorry for the delay this morning, I lost my Dad last night. Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Paridae, any of the species. The Alt theme is #Coots&Moorhens, any Coot or Moorhen will do. #birds #ECK #birdphotography @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social #NatureTherapy #BirdLife #

Enjoyed watching Dippers at Thornton le Dale yesterday. The white showing across it’s eye is a third, transparent eyelid, a 'nictitating membrane', that it can close, enabling it to see underwater. The wonder of evolution again!

Good to see active migration on Barra today with Barnacle Geese and Whooper Swans on the move, hundreds of Icelandic Redwings arriving, at least 5 Yellow-browed Warblers around the island and the Blackpoll Warbler present for a second day at Glen giving us great views. #BirdingScotland #RareBirdsUK
