Dr Africa Gómez<p>A sheltered <a href="https://c.im/tags/ivy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ivy</span></a> is a magnet for late insects: bluebottles, wasps, droneflies and three Red Admirals still about in the November sunshine <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a></p>

Dr Africa Gómez<p>My first odonata of the year, a teneral blue-tailed damselfly (I think), I momentarily looked away as I heard toads, and when I turned round a Carrion Crow had picked it up, probably for its chicks! <a href="https://c.im/tags/dragonflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dragonflies</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EastPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EastPark</span></a></p>

Noisy male Sparrowhawk, 3 Swifts chasing, two Swallows, 36 bird species, somehow missed Robin <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a></p>

Dr Africa Gómez<p>Back to the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sculcoates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sculcoates</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/patch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>patch</span></a> early today for a spot of <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a>. Two playful foxes, a pair of Mute Swans parading along the drain prospecting for a territory, singing Reed Warbler and my first zebra spider of the year <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>Peregrine over Cafe Gelato, Red Kite over Princes Quay, and Shelduck pair at Albert Quay, <a href="https://c.im/tags/urbanbirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbanbirding</span></a> doesn&#39;t get any better than that! <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>Finally a warm, sunny afternoon brought all the butterflies out. Six species on the wing, Brimstone too fast to photograph, Small Tortoisells around too <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>First Swallow of the year, patch tick in the shape of a singing Reed Bunting, a Jay and two singing Willow Warblers migrating through. A female Greenfinch collecting nest lining material. A Roe Deer on the railway line. A feeling of spring today at <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sculcoates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sculcoates</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a> more at: <a href="https://wildathull.blogspot.com/2023/04/spring-at-sculcoates.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wildathull.blogspot.com/2023/0</span><span class="invisible">4/spring-at-sculcoates.html</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>Frost in the morning, then sunshine brought all the songsters out <a href="https://c.im/tags/sing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spring</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sculcoates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sculcoates</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>A cold and wet day, I went to <a href="https://c.im/tags/OakRoadLake" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OakRoadLake</span></a> and then up the <a href="https://c.im/tags/RiveHull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RiveHull</span></a> to Reich Carter Way and back. Highlights were the Mute Swan pair nesting, 3 Buzzards, 2 Sparrowhawks, drake Goosander, 17 Shoveler in the Bransholme reservoir <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>A Jay at the patch and at <a href="https://c.im/tags/PearsonPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PearsonPark</span></a>, maybe the same one. Caching shelled peanuts suggests that it&#39;s a resident. Also found Dog&#39;s Mercury in the patch, which was unexpected. 5 Chiffchaffs singing today at <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sculcoates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sculcoates</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>Lovely to have a Siskin on my street alders on the way back from work with beautiful light <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/weekend" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>weekend</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>A cloudy, initially drizzly, but enjoyable walk to <a href="https://c.im/tags/EastPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EastPark</span></a> this morning. 46 bird species, including Teal, Gadwall, Great Crested Grebe, Little Grebe, Coal Tit, Grey Wagtail, singing Chiffchaff, Siskins...<a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>First Chiffchaffs singing, Greylag&#39;s first egg, Moorhens and Coots occupied nests and this Reed Bunting singing by <a href="https://c.im/tags/OakRoadLake" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OakRoadLake</span></a> a sunny day with a strong <a href="https://c.im/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spring</span></a> feel <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>First Anthophora plumipes of the year in the garden, quite late as I usually see them the 1st week of March. It was cool so I could approach this male and take a photo with my phone! <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>A wet and gloomy day, but a Blackbird singing on my way back home cheered me up <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AerialBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AerialBirds</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>It&#39;s been a great winter for Siskins in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a>, this is one of a small group that were feeding, chasing and twittering in a small group of mature alders in the Amazing Community Garden <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a></p>
Dr Africa Gómez<p>Sunshine and thermals despite the icy start got the Sparrowhawk pair rising and displaying high over their territory near the drain. The Herring gulls are only thinking about breeding, they have nothing to fear from Sparrowhawks, but they flew in panic, calling plaintively and mobbing the raptor <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hull" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hull</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UrbanBiodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UrbanBiodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/LowCarbonBirding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LowCarbonBirding</span></a></p>
