The gate used by LTAA Anglers has been broken on the horsefield at Bowesfield Nature Reserve & keeps getting left open. There's now nothing stopping the horses ending up on the busy dual carriageway to Ingeby Barwick.....can anyone help? @stocktoncouncil @teeswildlife

How many folk are swapping over to Bluesky app for birding? @teesbirds1

Great chilled out paddle with Debs & Yvonne on the River Tees - amazing conditions 🌞 Managed to see a couple of Buzzards 🦅, several Ringed Necked Parakeets 🦜 & the Red Crested Pochard 🦆 is still at preston park @GoPaddlingInfo

Very sunny walk along the River Tees this am. Spotted Red Crested Pochard and Roe Deer but also came across a Fox in a mexican stand-off with a Roe Deer plus a Weasel hunting along the riverbank (unfortunately no pics). @teesbirds1 @teeswildlife

RC Pochard still at Preston Park jetties on river Tees, 9.30am @teesbirds1

Red Crested Pochard still at @pparkmuseum at the pontoon on the river Tees - Saturday 9am. @teesbirds1

Great walk along the River Tees this am. Surprised to see a Red Crested Pochard at Preston Park next to the pontoon - maybe it had flown over from Ropner Park? Plus, several Roe Deer at Preston Farm Nature Reserve. @teesbirds1 @teeswildlife

Great to be out early doors on the River Tees b4 the wind went bonkers. Giant Hogweed getting going now 🌿🌱 😬 @CRTYorkshireNE @teesriverstrust @GoPaddlingInfo

Wombling mission close to Preston Park this am. Vegetation hasn't got going yet so it's easy pickings and the Giant Hogweed are just emerging so it's easier to jump on the bank. On a brighter note I did spot a Roe Deer 🦌 & Common Toad🐸 @CRTYorkshireNE @teesriverstrust

Great morning on the River Tees, plenty of sun 🌞 and light winds 🌬 Spotted a couple of Kingfishers, 3 or 4 Ring Necked Parakeets, and 3 Common Buzzards 🦅 @GoPaddlingInfo @CRTYorkshireNE

First time out on the River Tees on my SUP🏄‍♂️ for a few weeks. Wind was less than forecast with the odd sun🌅 beam bursting through. Water temperature 🌡 is still baltic 🥶at 5.5 C. Finished off with a spot of Wombling 😀 @GoPaddlingInfo @CRTYorkshireNE
