Government quietly released a report today. Just 3% of the most important habitat for wildlife is in good condition.
This must change or wildlife will be lost forever.
Don’t let this report slip under the radar: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/697206...

Very pleased to share #OpenAccess paper, which we think is important to understand woodland bird declines and impact of forestry on native ancient woodland in Britain.

The resolution for 2026 is to enjoy more lifers.
So when Killdeer came on the alerts yesterday, I booked my trains & twitched the bird this morning.
Great to spot it doing some of the tapping for prey that I watch Little Ringed Plovers doing.
Smart Little Gull year tick too

Blame the mist, blame the distance, I still had to try to capture these 3 Smew today.
Didn't notice the Teal were displaying at the time.
Also 3 gorgeous pairs of much closer Bullfinch, Yellowhammers, & a big mixed flock of finches, winter thrushes, tits & buntings.

First patch trip of the year was misty & moisty. Nice weather for ducks but not for bins & scope.
One of the joys for me is watching birds interacting with each other.
The over wintering Scaup is fun to watch klepto-ing.
Casp flew over calling, like a dirty laugh 🫶

A bitterly cold but fabulous day in Lincs/Cambs ⛄️
Snow Goose at Deeping in Whooper flock, which also contained 3 Bewick’s Swans. LEO close to the hide. Green Sand in drainage ditch.
Briefly a Tundra Bean Goose at Thorney toll.
Finishing at Eldernell with Short-eared Owl & large Crane Flock.

New Year's Day at Titchwell.
Brass monkeys out, even the waders were huddled on the marsh rather than by the sea edge.
Best of 67 species: Water Pipit, Med Gull, Water rail in front of the hide, Woodcock. No Merlin sadly.
That sunset!
There's a pub selling mulled wine on the walk back, rude not to 🪶

Disillusionment with local birding continues, so I'm mostly just birding whilst walking between other stuff. New streets bring a missed excitement & unpredictability. A Goldcrest flying low across the pavement in front of me, pic a one-eyed individual at the old pit top this year

Closing in on the end of my 7th year a birder.
Been reflecting on hubris felt as a birder walking miles, using bus & train, laden with gear.
What I always need are some laughs (ducks are great for that) & ID challenges.
Refound the over-wintering Scaup, Caspian Gull & 4 Pintail +2

So last Rattray one for now. On 20th October this year I found a nightingale at Rattray. Around an 8th for Aberdeenshire and first since 2007. Then as my photos hit the various channels it was identified as an Eastern Nightingale. 2nd for Scotland and 4th for Britain.

🚨Hoylake beach update🚨
After a LONG six years, we’re finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel!! An agreement has finally been reached between @NaturalEngland and @WirralCouncil which means around 2% of the 41ha of vegetated foreshore at Hoylake will be cleared.

OMG !! Should I be as excited as I am ??
Just glanced out of my urban window & noticed a female and a male Blackcap! Passing through the Ash & Holly.
Pics are from my garden, of previous over-wintering birds.

Last day in London. Brent Res for Jacksnipe or Woods in SE? The latter as the hides at Brent need a key.
A quick scan at the site, I spotted this female Crossbill. Further on, a Firecrest in a tit flock.
Visited St Dunstan, a wild place with a Wren spire & no roof.
Grey Heron grabbed my attention 🪶
