So as part of #Belfast2024 we're running an event with local expert Stephen Hewitt to get us in tune.
This Sat 23rd March meet at Victoria Park Car Park at 10am.

Preparing to explain how the tails of hawks change shape from gliding (closed) to soaring (open), for our forthcoming @_BTO Raptor ID course. bto.org/develop-your-skills/…
I know: it's baffling that I never made it as a #BluePeter presenter.

Great that @WeBS_UK are encouraging people to love a plover on #PloverAppreciationDay.
Three of the six plovers in their graphic are red-listed.
You can check out which ones they are here:

Delighted to write a @guardian country diary about my time spent with Manx Shearwaters on Bardsey Island as part of a uni birders week. 😊
They’re such incredible birds!

On #WaderWednesday let's salute the amazing GREAT SNIPE.
They can fly almost high enough to clear the top of Everest.
They fly twice as high when migrating during daylight hours, when compared to at night.

Great wee parent. This Robin has worked hard rearing a family in our garden. Fledglings were about for weeks being looked after by this wee one. They've all left now, so it's taking a well earned break with some mealworm this morning. @RSPBNI @UlsterWildlife
