The nights are drawing in, so #Stargazing, #AuroraHunting and other #NightSky observing activities are possible earlier in the evening. Check out the fantastic Battlesteads Observatory for a range of awesome events based at the observatory just behind the award-winning Battlesteads_Hotel Hotel

Barn Owl is a bird shrouded in #legend and #folklore. Often considered a harbinger of death - although that sounds like something a vole would have written #WildlifeWednesday

Britain's breeding population of Starlings declined from nearly 4 million pairs in 1995, to 1.8 million pairs in 2016, and is now possibly around 800,000 pairs. Stunningly iridescent, but winter murmurations are possibly when they're at their most spectacular #WildlifeWednesday

There's a range of #wildlife used in #Halloween symbolism but the menacing stare of a Short-eared #owl is really only something to be concerned about if you're a vole...probably

We're heading into the #winter and here in NE England it's a great time to be out and about #wildlife watching, not least because we've got #Brent #Geese. Can you see the #DarkBellied birds here in a flock of #PaleBelliedBrentGeese on #Lindisfarne?

#Rooks are resourceful, intelligent, problem-solvers, looking old beyond their years with grey bills and dishevelled plumage. Track down your nearest winter roost and enjoy a proper wildlife spectacular #WildlifeWednesday

Do you have a favourite #wildlife #quote? With Northumberland having a long coastline, and a lot of sea, we keep returning to this one "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." — Jacques Yves Cousteau

We're reaching the time of year when male #Ducks are getting into their breeding finery and #Northumberland's county bird, the 'Cuddy Duck' is exquisitely beautiful #WildlifeWednesday
