One of the few birds of prey tolerated on some local grouse shooting moors (although they have been persecuted on other estates) - here a family of four Short-eared Owl juveniles doing well. But where are the Hen Harriers, Peregrines and Goshawks? Shot dead. 🤬 vimeo.com/1204131428

Ok, one last push... with less than 48 hrs til the race, I'm just a few 100 quid shy of 3K - that's THREE YEARS of funds covering all Leeds Swifts rescue, rehab & release costs with enough left for Swift boxes at local Schools! It takes less than a minute: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Swift fundraising update! With less than a week to go, we've revised the target up to £2500 - and we're not far off! Any chance you could help me get there? Donate here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding... For a full update have a look here: northernrustic.blogspot.com/.../running-....

Went to see the Peregrines at Lister Mill and Dalton Mill. 2 juv and both parents seen at both sites. Stretching, preening and naughty cable chewing. Buzzard seen off at Lister by the male. Lots of aerial action I failed to capture. Well worth a visit soon if you're local. @leedsbirder.bsky.social

The illegal killing of Hen Harriers on British grouse moors has been known, for years, to be the main cause of the species’ desperately low population size in the UK. This male hen harrier di…

Learning to fly is difficult in gusty winds! Not bad for his first day out in the big wide world. @UoLperegrine ZBJ filmed in slow motion at the University of Leeds. @bbcpaulmurphy.bsky.social @paultheweatherman.bsky.social @bbclooknorth.bsky.social vimeo.com/1199903911

The first of the @UoLperegrine chicks fledged this morning. This is ZBJ (no jokes please, he has feelings) on Emmanuel Church. He’s made a few flights back and forth to Parkie, so hopefully he’s off the danger list #peregrine vimeo.com/1199721346

Real strength is tolerance in the face provocation

Tree Bumblebees don't just use 'old' bird nests, they will take over active bird nests and evict the adults, killing any eggs/young. Nestboxes artificially increase this competition, which is much rarer in cooler natural holes in trees. We did a paper in this: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

All together now! These Tree bumblebees are fanning their nest to keep it cool 🌡️ Most UK bumblebees nest on or underground in our gardens and green spaces. Tree bumblebees, however, prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite 🐦 🎥 Annette Knight

Tawny Owl chose the wrong place to have a kip - right next to a Song Thrush nest. They were not happy vimeo.com/1194950944

Not sure I should be in charge of the PTZ controls on our new Peregrine livestream. A lot of temptation to play with it…. 😂 Watch live here: www.bradfordperegrines.com/live #yorkshirebirding #bradford

It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, so here’s a Ruff that I filmed this morning. If you can, please consider donating a few pesos to the amazing work of CABS who do really impactful work to save birds from being shot or trapped by illegal hunters www.komitee.de/en/ #WMBD26

This week I will be mostly birding in Lesvos. Where these Masked Shrikes are common as muck #lesvos

That was a rough night but she’s done a great job keeping the chicks dry. 2 hatched and hopefully 2 more to go
