And breathe! 🦉 A brilliant day at Christchurch Mansion dissecting barn owl pellets with curious kids and parents. Bones, discoveries and lots of questions… now where’s that well-earned glass of wine? 🍷😉🦉 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @learnerbirder.bsky.social

🦉 We are all set for Discovery Day! Our stand is in the magnificent dining room at Christchurch Mansion. It’s the perfect place for us to share more about barn owls and the work we do. We’ll be exploring pellet dissection and chatting about these fascinating birds. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

🌧️🦉 Three more barn owl boxes are up for BOSS! We got soaked, but kept going. Now we just need a small window between downpours to get the next jobs done. 🌦️🦉 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @duncanrford.bsky.social

📦🦉 It’s moving day at BOSS! Our trusty pick-up has been loaded up with barn owl boxes as we relocate to a new storage spot. No owls on board this time, just a whole lot of future nest sites! 🦉💚 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @duncanrford.bsky.social

A good day for Barn Owls in Suffolk! 🦉 Today we visited two more sites, meeting people who are just as keen as we are to help these beautiful birds. Always lovely to find more people willing to get involved and make a difference! 💚 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @duncanrford.bsky.social

After a short break, more barn owl boxes went up this week! 🦉 The real star is the habitat: fabulous field margins, rough grass, cover and hopefully plenty of small mammals. The box is the house; this is the fridge! 🌿 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

This evening 15 adult Pale-bellied Brent Geese touched down at Ness Point, Lowestoft. They could not be any further east & were completely un-phased as they fed as the tide pushed them ever closer to us. A memorable encounter for East Anglia. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #ukbirding #suffolkbirding

Red-footed falcon Lowestoft 1/09/2026 A very confiding juvenile has apparently been in the center of the town, sitting on a roof and fence, since at least Friday. #birds #ukbirds #suffolkbirds @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

This obliging juvenile Red-footed Falcon was eyeing up its next meal in the middle of Lowestoft this evening. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @rarebirder.bsky.social

The Owl Crew have been on top form! 🦉💪 Four more barn owl boxes are up in brilliant locations. A fantastic team, a few ladders and tools, plus essential cake! 🍰😂 Another great day helping Suffolk’s barn owls. 🦉❤️ @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

What a brilliant weekend at Framlingham Country Show! 🦉 So many great chats, new contacts and shared love of birds. Lovely catching up with Martin on House Martins, Eddie on Swifts and Pete Merchant on Peregrines. A top weekend! 🐦 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @sosswifts.bsky.social

Two ospreys seen over Hazelwood Marshes yesterday with Kev Heath, but no sign of the juvenile black stork @birdguides.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #UKbirding.

Suffolk Bird Group will be at the Framlingham Country Show! 🦉🐦 Pop by for a chat about what we do, from Barn Owls, House Martins and Swifts to our other projects.

The Owl Crew have been brilliant today, working their socks off to get another 4 boxes up as part of our Sizewell mitigation project! 🦉💪 — another four potential new homes for Suffolk’s barn owls, and another great bit of teamwork! 🌿 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @duncanrford.bsky.social

Was privileged to see a male and female Honey Buzzard this morning at Marsh Lane, Worlingham, thanks to Andrew Easton for finding them late yesterday and my brother Barry for the photos, they eventually flew NW into Norfolk

Happy Owl Awareness Day! 🦉 If you’re lucky enough to spot a Barn Owl, we’d love to hear about it. Every sighting you send in helps us build a clearer picture of how Barn Owls are faring across Suffolk. Please keep those sightings coming! 💚 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @waveneybirdclub.bsky.social

Black storks Kessingland 04/08/2026 Species 125 for the garden - well overdue as I have been away for three previous singles. #birds Tracked by the BINS and local WhatsApp groups north along the Suffolk coast and up into Norfolk. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @lowestoftlizards.bsky.social

Another two Barn Owl boxes up today as part of our Sizewell mitigation project! 🦉 A huge thank you to our brilliant volunteers for all their hard work. Every box gives the next generation another chance. 🦉💚 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @duncanrford.bsky.social
