Fantastic to take out @naturalengland.bsky.social and show
them 3 WT Eagle, 3 Marsh Harrier, 1 Red Kite and 15 Spoonbill! Great opportunity to provide an
inspiring nature recovery trip, with real-time examples of species recovery, to those that work on nature restoration.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌
We share @hannahbournetaylor.bsky.social's disappointment & frustration.
The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.

Doing the tourist bit at Sete Citades today and delighted to find an endemic! 3 São Miguel Goldcrest (R.r. azoricus) in the lakeside trees. Call more piercing than our Goldcrest, a bit more Firecrest like. Also found a drake Ring-necked Duck, no idea if it has been seen previously?
