The poor weather meant we couldn't get the nets out yesterday at WWT Washington Wetland Centre so we ended up doing a quick site survey instead. This unexpected Red Kite was a very nice surprise!

There seems to have been an explosion of Snowdrops at WWT Washington Wetland Centre! It's always a good day when you get your first sighting of a new year.

Had a lovely, gentle little rockpooling session this morning, and although there wasn't much around it was some of the most fun I've had in a good while

They may not be the prettiest species in the world, but these two Agonopterix are the first moths of 2026

And the absolute LEAST surprising news of the year, my first ringed bird of 2026 is a Blue Tit. It genuinely looks like it's pouting!
