Massive Glossy Ibis arrival reaches Britain and Ireland
A huge Glossy Ibis influx is currently under way across Britain and Ireland, with large flocks appearing across a wide area. The arrival breaks all modern records for the species, which has been rapidly increasing across Western Europe in recent years and bred in Britain for the first time in 2022. On Monday 8 September, a staggering minimum of 605 ibis were recorded across Britain and Ireland.

Flower-rich, shrubby grassland hums with wildlife. And If we're to induce Red-backed Shrikes to recolonise, we need to create lots more of this habitat
What makes perfect Red-backed Shrike habitat?

Meet the osprey 🦅
With wings spanning up to 1.8 metres, the osprey is one of Britain’s most striking birds of prey.
Once reduced to just a single breeding pair in Scotland, this species is slowly expanding its range again with over 200 pairs now calling Britain home.
