WHAT'S BUZZING OR FLYING NEAR YOU 2020

Buzzing or flying @wiseowl

 

Flying in my bedroom, can anyone tell me what this insect is? Would love to know!

(Sorry about the awful photo, couldn't get a better one!)

Ah, got it I think, it's another mild-tempered wasp.

Geat photos stronglodon, I imagine the poor creature is lonesome.

 

There are lots of geese airborne again at the moment with flocks of a hundred or more regularly flying over.

 

@hydrogardener, it probably is now as for the first week or so it was joined (by coincidence) with a Grey Phalarope. It looked very healthy and constantly active, it hasn't been reported since I saw it on Tuesday so it may have moved on possibly still wanting to go South!

 

@Sheal, I imagine that they are either White Fronted or Pink Footed Geese, neither venture down here but mainly the West coast.

Knot.

 

Thanks for the info Strongy. When they're in the sky they're just black silhouettes so I have no idea which ones they are.

 

A Red-breasted nuthatch, the first I have seen in many years, hopefully, it has a mate somewhere close by.

 

@hydrogardener, looks similar to our Nuthatch but without the black and white on the head.

 

Officially this is called a Dark-eyed Junco, we call them Snowbirds, because when they return the snow can't be far behind.

 

Wildlife doing what wildlife does yesterday.
Today no birds in sight.
