I may be wrong, but I'd say the Bean Goose at Houghton, Cumbria is a Taiga? Maybe there is a Tundra there too? #CumbriaBirds

Nice to be back on some wetland restoration work this week - recreating areas of open water for important amphibian and dragonfly populations, whilst other areas are allowed to continue natural succession #WetlandsAreAmazing 💙

Saw this and thought of you @DotJones50 - think it translates as 'are you as tall as a Crane, even if they're cheating by having long legs and necks' 😅

Heading for home (eventually, flight is delayed!) after a successful #Norway trip. Great to see Musk Ox, an unexpected Pallid Harrier, stunning scenery and trip list ending on 82 bird species 🇳🇴😊

The viewpoint here is definitely worth a visit. Just a 1.5km walk up a gentle slope, accessed via a toll road (c.£3.50) for a chance to see Musk Ox and Reindeer 😎🇳🇴

Afternoon scanning the mountains from Snøhetta viewpoint and success! At least 15 Musk Ox on the slopes and tops, distant but still counts #Lifer ✅️
