This entry is a little fake: I have chosen five of my favourite images that I have not posted. I took them all during a rehabilitation session in March at the Baltic Sea.

Twite (Linaria flavirostris)

The call of the Twite is a distinctive 'twit', from which its name derives. It is related to the Linnet, but has a longer tail and stubbier bill compared to it.

17/02/23-Five photos of the Long-eared Owl at Cley Spy, Glandford, four views on a lovely walk at Blakeney as the sun went down and a Kestrel at Blakeney. 

Seeing the Long-eared Owl was such an honour, what a fantastic, big and stunning bird to see. It was an ambition achieved getting to see one and it felt brilliant to be part of this big birding moment. It was also nice to hear Skylark here and hear and then see my first Skylark of the year later in the day at Blakeney, bringing me exciting feelings for spring with all the energy hearing this beautiful song and seeing this bird brings. On the walk at Blakeney I was also over the moon that we saw some nice little Twites the birds we came here to look for, a second bird species seen for the first time and another I’d wanted to see for ages. A stunning view of a Marsh Harrier, Lapwing and Wigeon were other highlights at Blakeney. On the way from there to the hotel we were amazed to see a Muntjac Deer crossing the road and going into a hedge, my first of the year and a fifth deer species seen this year in a strong start to the year I’ve had for deers. There were so many Red Kites seen on the way up to Norfolk which was great.
