Whilst looking at this Melanelixia under the microscope i noticed this pale growth.Fungal perhaps ? @Jamiewa50042387 @obfuscans3
Two, of around ten, apparent dragonfly exuvia found in a tiny Botton pond this afternoon with @WhitbyNats. @teesbirds1
Two engrailed, a brindled pug, and a streamer - all knocking about Botton this morning. @teesbirds1 @WhitbyNats
We're excited to be at #Pickering Library today from 10am with a pop-up archive for #LocalHistoryMonth
My first Red Admiral of the year in Pickering today. @Natures_Voice @NorthYorkMoors @YorksWildlife @WoodlandTrust @MacroHour @ThePhotoHour @savebutterflies @BC_Yorkshire
And here you can see why! This is the stem of a young Giant Hogweed, which has purple blotches and is covered in stiff bristles. If you come into contact with the sap it can cause bad blistering and swelling, made worse by exposure to the sun. 3/3
These moths have beautiful, long antennae. Normally I'd get the shot by gently holding the leaf to steady it and prevent movement in the wind but I wouldn't touch Giant Hogweed with a barge pole! 2/3
This was a really tricky subject to photograph, mainly because it was resting on Giant Hogweed and flailing around in the wind. I think it's a Green Longhorn moth (Adela reaumurella). 1/3
Managed a quick phone pic of this male Orange-tip at Skelton y'day @BC_Yorkshire @nybirdnews @teesbirds1 @teeswildlife
Hawthorn shieldbug, Botton @teesbirds1 @WhitbyNats

Hummersea this eve in glorious weather for a welcome change. Common whitethroat, yellowhammer & linnet galore in and around the gorse. Everything looking resplendent in the sunshine. @teesbirds1 @nybirdnews #birdwatching #BirdsSeenIn2024
Whimbrel heard calling at Hawsker Bottoms this evening. @WhitbyNats @nybirdnews
Had an enjoyable 5 hours at Hawsker Bottoms and Ness Point this morning. 7 species of Warbler including a very vocal but very elusive Sedge Warbler, 3 Lesser Whitethroats and a Garden Warbler. Also Yellow Wagtail, 8 Wheatears and a few Sand Martins. @WhitbyNats @nybirdnews
Redstart, North York Moors No white-tailed eagle joy today at Hinderwell and Kilton but consolation that one of my very local patch redstarts is back. Lovely colour contrasts as ever. @nybirdnews @teesbirds1 @NatureUK @UKRedstarts @Natures_Voice @NorthYorkMoors @YorksWildlife
White tailed Eagle drifting NW over Hinderwell mobbed by crows gulls & buzzard
Some of the maps we hold are part of 20th-century travel brochures or visitor guides - like this town plan of #Scarborough #MapMonday

On 2 May 1774, First Lieutenant Robert Palliser Cooper in #HMSResolution at Tahiti wrote, “The Armourers constantly employ’d makeing Hatchets, Nails, &ca for Trade”.
Big beast at his hay pile. Tracked machines drove up and down a lane in this field over winter as 5,100 trees were planted. Some hay will be left; fingers crossed, earthworms will break it down, alleviating compaction and boosting the level of organic matter in the soil.
