Hi everyone, I've been lucky enough to have had a few days away, so sorry for things being quiet on the blog front. If there were any doubts that spring had arrived, they've surely gone now. Adam, who works in Saltholme's visitor centre, took this photo of some toad spawn in one of...

Hi everyone, (I just had to add in this picture that Alyson took of four avocets at Greatham Creek!) We love avocets at the RSPB. They don't breed at Saltholme quite yet - but they do breed just up the road at Greatham Creek, at what we hope will be become the most northerly breeding avocet...

Hi everyone, Today was a day of geese, geese and more geese. All we needed was a white fronted goose (but we had two of those a few weeks back ) and a bean goose to complete the 'set'. A lone brent goose had been hanging around at Saltholme pools since the weekend. We've also had small...

Hi everyone, A few snaps from the spruced up willow screen at Haverton viewpoint. After a very dry summer, it was looking a bit worse for wear. A big well done to the Groundworks team from Port Clarence who did most of the work to improve it! Thank you for stepping up for nature . If you've...
