Great migration on Inner Farne today! 100s of Redwing and 20 Goldcrest dropped in, with Ring Ouzel, Water rail and 2 male Redstarts being highlights. A fine supporting cast included Merlin, Fieldfare, Lesser whitethroat and Brambling among others. Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club @NEE_Naturalist

This Short-eared owl landed to roost on Inner Farne this afternoon; an uncommon visitor from Europe. Sometimes referred to as 'Sea' or 'pilot' owl, it lived up to such labels by navigating today's strong south-easterlies! #migration Northumberland & Tyneside Bird Club @NHNhub (image @ChrisCachiaZamm)

How cute is this little creature? Spotted at Holmwood Common, it’ll one day transform into a purple emperor butterfly. Thanks to your support, we can continue looking after the places butterflies call home. Photo: Graham L
