I’ve a load of old magazines I want to dispose of. Complete sets “BTO News” and RSPB “Birds” both from 1986- to-date. Let me know andy@gonebirding.org. Maybe a library or institution you know may be interested?
If I still have them in the New Year, then regrettably, they’re going to recycling.

#Morocco 2025
We did a fair bit of herping after dark with the added bonus of coming across other animals like this beautiful little Jeboa who wasn't at all bothered by me 🥰

Photograph of a Jeboa taken in the desert in southern Morocco at night. It is a tiny rodent with sandy coloured back and top of head / middle face with a white belly limbs and round the eyes. Its eyes are huge. Its holding a seed in its front paws which it later took into the little Jeboa size cave behind it under a rock.

Anyone in the #peakdistrict today see what looked like four Ospreys heading towards Sheffield near Curbar Edge? Was it?

If you are craving some more live Falcon nest action now the Sheffield Peregrines have fledged then check out this Hobby Cam from Dorset. Thought to be the only live Subbuteo nest cam in Europe this year #ukbirding

Hail Mary post here - but I just lost a nice little pannier bag somewhere in Cat Lane woods and didn't have time to go back for it (plus its like the Blair Witch project in there - I wouldn't even know where I'd been) it's blue and green, Linus brand and had a can of cherry coke in it. #sheffield

Here’s the “Salmon of Steel” statue in Sheffield. Had a brilliant afternoon at the University of Sheffield, speaking with the Editors & Publishers Network. It reminded me how journals are a labour of love. We must withdraw our uncompensated labour from supporting unscrupulous commercial publishers.

Morden Peregrines. 1/2. Based on their age the chicks may fledge from 20-22 June, though this could be a little earlier and they're vulnerable to accidents prior to this now they're flapping on the ledge. We have 2 males and 2 females, and males tend to fledge a bit sooner.

2/2. Hopefully they'll wait until next week when the weather may be more suitable. If you live, work, or visit the area around Crown House, please keep a look out for birds grounded or in difficulty. Any concerns please contact
London Peregrine Partnership on 07807 738699.
