'Policy designed to help locals buy homes is hailed as a success....'

How on earth can £40m-worth of drugs be landed at Easington and the boat carrying them abandoned, when it must be the most heavily-policed area on the East Coast! Good job they weren't terrorists targeting the gas terminal🙄 BBC Yorkshire Peter Levy

First garden Green Hairstreak of the year today 😊 #kilnsea

After being the only birder in the village without a sightline to the GW Teal, I thought the Collared Fly was going the same way - until I finally realised I *could* see the right bit of hedgeline 🙄 Result! I knew that bund was worth putting in....Collared Fly, #245 #kilnsea 😊

Ficedula On The Roof 😉

Not a bad start to the day! Thanks Paul Collins #kilnsea

Last night was mostly clear, I think, and fairly windy, but not cold, so I find a zero catch rather worrying #teammoth 😬

Well, today's turned into quite the cracker! Loooong time since I've seen a spring male in the UK. Thanks to Tony Hull for radio shout-out, never put my wellies on and sprinted to the floodbank so quick....

The Golden Oriole had the good grace to move closer to the #kilnsea garden; in fact, at one point it actually landed here (in the orchard), a first! Pics don't do it justice........one day I might learn how to use the camera properly 😬

Please take a moment to appreciate the two pixels-worth of this lovely, bright male Golden Oriole (not y'day's female, BirdGuides ) as seen from my #kilnsea garden a few minutes ago #birdsfromfaraway Charlie Bingham

As pretty much every email I receive these days hopes I'm well (or similar), what's the etiquette in ignoring that bit? I'm getting nostalgic for short, terse, maybe even rudely blunt emails......

We are pleased to announce that Kew Villa Caravan Site will be reopen from tomorrow, 1st May!

A small twitch for Wryneck in the garden today #kilnsea also qualifies as a #birdsseenfromfaraway or at least the phone camera makes it look like it is!

Marvellous! Having been force-fed Under Milk Wood at school, it's all too easy to shy away from his work, but this clip shows how powerful his poetry can be, in the right hands...

Out on first BBS of year at long last, still too chilly really but finally dry without a blasting wind! Cuckoo nfy in garden as I left. Lsr Whitethroat seems more widespread this yr, otherwise numbers (and vegetation!) pretty low.
